Most occupations have a day dedicated to them and the job of tending a bar is no exception.
Bartender Appreciation Day aims to make customers think about the great service their favourite bartenders give while pouring pints and mixing cocktails as well as their great people skills of talking, listening, joking and being a shoulder to cry on and a person to confide in.
Over the centuries, a bartender’s job has somehow evolved from just pouring your pint or shot into being a therapist of sorts, to the point that these days, that’s what bartenders are best known for: being the person you can tell all about your life’s troubles while sipping an ice-cold beer.
Who could think of a better kind of therapy?
The History of Bartender Appreciation Day
Bartender Appreciation Day originated in America and is linked to the drinks brand, Sailor Jerry.
They aim to spread recognition of the day around the world and recently organized a petition to give to the British government that asks them to make Bartender Appreciation Day a recognized holiday in the UK and a day off for all bartenders.
Their main argument are that bartenders do much more than just mix drinks, offering a kind of quiet support to troubled, frustrated customers and making them feel like someone really does care about what they’re going through.
The brand also organises voting competitions to find the nation’s best bartender and makes bar visits on the day to distribute free pizza, clothing and taxi rides home for bartenders.
And
Fritters Day

Alright, let’s start this out by admitting something.
Prior to Fritters Day we had no idea that Fritters came in any other variety than Apple.
A whole new world was opened up to us when we discovered that there were blueberry fritters, and banana fritters, pineapple fritters and even clam and shrimp fritters.
Wait… what?
Yep!
Fritters is a term for any food item… any!
History of Fritters Day
Fritters are popular all over the world, though obviously they’re not called fritters everywhere you go.
In Asia there are several varieties, including the Burmese a-kyaw which is popularly made with a rich gourd filling, and are typically served with tea, or for breakfast.
Because who doesn’t like deep fried gourds for breakfast?
Admittedly, they also have it made from chickpea, onion, brown bean paste, just to name a few.
In Indonesia fritters are called gorengan, with one of the most popular being pisand goring, a banana based fritter.
But don’t let that stop you from trying the breadfruit and sweet potato varieties. In Indonesia they think the perfect accompaniment to fritters is bird’s eye chili.
Apparently they enjoy some soul searing spice with their fritters, but who are we to judge?
One type of fritter you may not have realized you’ve had is Tempura. That’s right, that delicious battered and fried dish from your favorite Japanese restaurant is also considered a fritter.
Of course, if all one has to do is batter and fry something to make a fritter, does that make deep fried Twinkies a Twinkie Fritter?
The mind boggles indeed.
