    Episode 107: VictoryJón, He's Just a Little Better Than the Average Jón

    In the Icelandic language, Sigur means Victory, and Sigurjón visiting the Buy Back Podcast this week is DEFINITELY a victory for us. Born and raised in Iceland, Sigurjón finds himself managing Sól, one of Iceland's newest and coolest high class dining spots. Sigurjón started working in restaurants as a quick way to make money when he was younger, partied a little too hard in his late teens and early twenties, but now has the tools to cope with the lifestyle and the bravery to face it. Listen wherever you get your podcasts, now!

    Episode 104: Cocktails and Needles with Peter at DRINK

    It's the night before the first night of food service at Drink NYC and Peter just wants "to do dope, cool... sh...tuff..." Tattoo needles are prepped, the ice hasn't been cut with the bandsaw yet, and the powder hasn't been poured into the baggies yet. Wait, what the heck is going on!? You may have seen Peter on social media sitting in his empty bar, feeling low, asking people to come in. And come in they did. Manhattan's newest and coolest tattoo and cocktail parlour is just getting started with their awesome ideas and Peter, behind the bar, takes us behind the scenes of not only the bar itself, but down the road of his extensive bar experience. Here at the Buy Back we are trying something new with our audio! This episode has been given the special touch, and the interview sounds great! However, we are still working out the kinks, so please bear with us.
