1- How did you get started?
I got started in the restaurant business at Damon's Bar in Kingstown. I started as a bar-back/busboy. Then I came over to Landini's and started as a busboy. A couple months after I was busing Franco Landini asked me if I wanted to tend bar. I was shocked that he would be offering this to me. So I said yes and I was put behind the bar as a bar-back to begin learning. I was fortunate to learn from Susan, Bob, and Annie. Time went on and I finally got some of my own shifts, which leads to where I am right now. Thanks Trinity.

2 - Who has been your favorite patron?
That's such a tough question because a lot of the guys and gals that come in rock. I can't really choose just one, sorry. I do have to mention my agent and the head of security at the bar. You guys know who you are.

3 - What drink do you most hate to make?
I can't stand making lemon drop martinis. We don't need all shooters to become Martini's because that would mean that the end of the world is near.

4 - What is the worst line you've ever heard?
It is so funny when people come into the bar and ask, "What's on tap?"

5 - What was the best line you've ever heard?
Best line, "GO HARD OR GO HOME!!" That's for you Susan.

6 - Can you tell me an interesting story?
So many stories to choose from. All right, this past winter Nicole Landini and I were closing on a Friday night. At about 11:30 at night these 2 guys walk in and sit at the table with her. I was like ‘whatever’because I was dealing with the bar. Well, a little while later I needed her assistance at the bar, so I went over to the table to get her. (Let me mention though, I was in the beginning phase of trying to grow a mustache and I was catching a lot of negative criticism from people.) Back to the story….I realized when I got to the table that she was sitting with one of the Washington Capitals, Matt Pettinger. I was introduced to him and from the start he started giving me grief about my mustache. He gave me the nickname “Mustachio”. Long story short, he didn't think I would grow it out for another month and a half. I proved him wrong, but throughout that time he would come in and check to see if I was still rocking the "stach." I knew when he walked in the door because I would hear my new nickname from him, Nicole, and Piero, "Hey Mustachio."

Note from the OTC: Mitch shaved his head for some dumb reason – he really does have great hair – go figure!!!
