Featured bartender: Michelle Hoff of Centanni
Michelle Hoff hasn't been a bartender for all that many years, but she's worked in the service industry for more than a decade. Maybe that's why she was comfortable enough to approach Michael Bolton when he was in Milwaukee a few years ago and offer to do a shot with him.
