@cannonball1978, I didn't provide context:
My interviews these days are at cafe's (sometimes, but rarely, bars). Often I'm asked out for coffee to discuss a new potential gig or position (but those folks are located in other states, unfortunately) or when I'm networking (locally) I'll grab coffee with a manager or PR person of a company. It's often the first question asked at a cafe. Really, "What are you drinking."
My best interview was at this small pub in Williamsburg (BK), best interview ever. A CEO came up from North Hampton, MA to do business in NY, we had olives and wine, he got the bill.
I got the job but he wanted me to move to Mass., I was not ready for that kind of move. I wanted to freelance for the company from NYC. They wanted someone in-house, I turned them down.
Often the first question asked me: "Tell me about yourself, where've you been?"
I usually ask about the company's mission and make sure that I get a clear answer.
