Narrative:

After right engine start, the flight attendant called telling us that they observed sparks and smoke in the aft galley. We advised ground control that we needed to return to gate and then called ZZZ maintenance to advise of problem and request return to gate. Since we could not get a mechanic to wand us in to the gate for an extended period of time, ground controller directed us to move out onto taxiway to hold for a mechanic. After finally getting back to the gate, we were advised by maintenance that a couple of wires/pigtails would have to be changed in the aft galley. With the repairs complete, we departed again. After normal engine start and taxi, we took off. At about 1000 ft, we were called by the flight attendant and advised they were getting sparks and smoke in the aft galley and smoke and a burning rubber smell in the forward galley. We turned off the utility busses to reduce the power to the galleys. We continued climbing, advised ATC of our problem, called dispatch and maintenance to see if we could do something to continue the flight, since we understood the smoke, sparks, and smells had subsided.
