On today's episode of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer's guest is Jim Meehan, bartender, journalist, and author of The PDT Cocktail Book and Meehan’s Bartender Manual, who has worked in nearly every capacity of the hospitality business for the latter half of his 40 years on the planet. A Chicago area native schooled in Wisconsin who achieved acclaim for his work behind bars in New York City, he now spends almost as much time on the road at trade shows and trainings as at home in Portland, Oregon. Jim’s passion for service, quest for further knowledge, belief in the transformative power of hospitality, and commitment to mentor the industry's next generation is only divided by his duties as a proud father and devoted husband. Today's show also includes Shari's PR tip is to mix things up; Speed Round; Industry News Discussion; and Solo Dining experience at Chef/Owner Victoria Blamey's Mena in NYC. Photo Courtesy of Jim Meehan.Listen at Heritage Radio Network; subscribe/rate/review our show at iTunes, Stitcher or Spotify.
