  1. I too am a long time eavesdropper, but this is my first actual post. My name is Mike Hill and up until last October was a DC resident for 5 years. My short story is that I was helping my friends' parents run their restaurant in downtown Trenton, NJ while in undergrad when I thought it would be a great idea to put a business plan together and one day open up shop for myself. I also knew that I eventually wanted my MBA so that brought me to Howard University in 2002. While in B-school, I was a server at Firefly and upon graduating in 2004, found myself unable to leave the industry. Ended up working for Kimpton for nearly 3 years as Area Bar Manager for Topaz Bar & Bar Rouge, GM of Firefly and AGM of Poste, and learned from and worked with some extraordinary talent including Rob Weland, John Wabeck, Derek Brown and Tricia Cominsky. I must say that being GM wiped any and all future aspirations of ever wanting to run my own place, though the beverage aspect still excites me day in/day out. I took a 'change of scenery' opportunity in October and relocated to Atlanta where I am currently running the beverage program at Food Studio which is owned by Fifth Group. Atlanta is great, though I miss DC a lot and hope to one day return. Don and I used to take turns kicking each other around on the tennis court... Next time I'm in town I won't take it so easy on you!
