This week, we're taking Sporkful on the road to learn a thing or two from a bartender. We did two episodes at Commodorein Brooklyn to learn how to make the most out of any bar visit from bartender Yasmin Reshamwala. She gives us inside dope, tips on tipping, and other ideas on how to maximize your experience for the best drinks and fastest service. We had a great conversation before we gorged ourselves on their excellent food (particularly the fried chicken in the second photo).

So if you're in our neck of the woods, stop by Commodore, tell then we sent you and tip well - it's the Sporkful way! Also, like many bartenders, Yasmin tends bar in part because it's a gig that fits well around other pursuits. In her case, it's her band Lavalier- check 'em out.

Next week, we'll talk about what a bartending pro can teach you about life outside the bar, from making drinks at home to dating to dealing with drunks.
