Do you think being a good Flair Bartender behind the bar has
to slow down your service as well? I don't think so, if you
have 15 people waiting for their drinks you can't do a 4 tin
bottle routine for every drink. It is not about how many items
you can Flair, Flair could be just flip of a tin behind the
back or toss a garnish into the drink, you need to know when
to show off and when not to! It may be hard to believe but
most of the Flair bartenders are faster then regular
bartenders!
What is the secret to being one of the top Flair bartenders in
the world? Very simple, practice and be dedicated to your
craft!
What are the deciding factors that make someone a "Top Flair
bartender in the world"? You must bring something new to the
table and be entertaining at the same time.
Now that both Delpech brothers are retired from Legends...
What do you think your chances are winning again this year and
do you think you are the man to beat for 2010? Obviously when
you think of Legends a Delpech name is coming to mind, but
even if they don't compete, Legends is never easy to win, I
never think I'm the favorite entering a competition, I take
each competition one at a time and focus on my show.
What obstacles do you see our sport of Flair Bartending
encountering in the near future and in your opinion, how can
we overcome them? The major obstacle is Flair bartending deals
with alcohol and most major corporations shy away from that,
but if we can somehow get more visibility through commercials
and movies with Flair... we would be moving in the right
direction.
Are there different avenues for sponsorship that we should
pursue? Absolutely... we should not limit ourselves to the
liquor company's which is obvious choice, for example Nascar
doesn't have only sponsors related to cars, they are also
sponsored from beer companys and etc...
Do you think corporations and sponsors investing in Flair
bartenders is an effective way to promote and educate and why?
I think "WE" as bartenders can push the product because we
understand and we have the power behind the bar because
customers listen to us. As a bartender one of our jobs is to
educate our guests with the knowledge of the products that we
have.
What are your thoughts on Finest Call products and why? Finest
Call have really good products and we should thank them for
all the support that they give to us for sponsoring many
competitions.
What is your favorite Absolut Vodka flavor? Absolut Mango all
the way!!!
What is your favorite drink? My favorite drink would have to a
Long Island Ice Tea but I enjoy a Captain & Coke with lime as
well. :-)
