Straight Outta Milford: Famous Faces From Your Hometown

MILFORD, MA—It's a reality show that has stuck around. Bar Rescue debuted on Spike TV in 2011, and continues to air on Paramount Network.

Led by food and beverage industry Jon Taffer, he and his staff head into struggling bars and try to save them from closing down.

Among that staff is mixologist Mia Mastroianni, who hails from Milford. Mastroianni lives in Los Angeles and is a very well-known bartender at Soho House West Hollywood, where she is known as Tall Mia. She's also appeared in the YouTube sensation "S*&t People Say To Bartenders" and competed in Speed Rack.

She joined the case of "Bar Rescue" in 2013, telling Ten Minute Interviews that she still can't figure out how she got the recommendation for the show.

"I received a call from the show back in 2013, and started the initial interview process," she told Ten Minute Interviews. "Unfortunately, schedule conflicts prevented me from being able to commit at that time. Fortunately, I was contacted again later that year and then filmed my first episode in Las Vegas."

Beginning in 2013, Mastroianni joined Spike TV’s Bar Rescue as one of host Jon Taffer’s bartending and mixology experts.
