Shift Drink: Meet the “Mad Hatter”

They say being in hospitality is like putting on a show...you’re always on “stage”. Always “performing” and entertaining your guests so they have the most memorable experience. Wearing wigs and wild antics, you haven’t had a true memorable experience until you’re been served by Damian McLaughlin (yes, ‘laugh’ is part of his last name - irony at its finest). An old, childhood friend of Tio’s and a former server, Damian drops by the studio to talk about his unorthodox table-side routines, the link to his mental illness and the road to recovery from a near fatal drinking and driving accident. The ultimate human version of a cartoon character.
