Mongolian-American bartender.


I’m always amazed to find (male) Asian-American bartenders; there just aren’t many of them – maybe because of stereotypes, where they can’t be a guy’s guy who a guy would want to hang out with, or a guy who a girl would want to hit on?

Anyhow, the other week I was at the bar in this one (Mexican) restaurant, and the bartender was Asian-American, oddly.

I talked to him some when he was mixing drinks near me, and it turns out that his parents are Mongolian and won the immigration lottery and came to the U.S. with him and his brother when they were young, and they’re still here now, but the parents finally decided to move back to Mongolia, now that their children are set up and have a better chance in life.

He also said he has a business degree from a local state university branch, but it’s “too generic” and he’s having a hard time finding a real job.
