2008 Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival

DancingQueen — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 16:43:29 +0000

It’s coming. The 2008 South Beach Wine & Food Festival – Food Network’s Celebrity Chef’s will be there…The Travel Channel’s Anthony Bourdain will be there…will you be there?

2008 Food Network’s South Beach Wine & Food Festival

February 21 – 24 2008
Miami Beach, Florida

I am a bit curious to the changing name…Food Network’s South Beach WINE & Food Festival – the emphasis on alcohol over gastronomical delights leads to a pause when you note that Food & Wine magazine is a presenter.

But enough of trivialities, it is sure to be a Bacchanal Bash for one and all.

No Reservations vs. No Reservations

DancingQueen — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 06:17:45 +0000

I love Anthony Bourdain. I love Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Upon first hearing of the movie No Reservations, I had grand dreams of them co-hosting/co-staring in a feature length episode of Bourdain’s hour long cooking/travel/history show of the same title (aired 10PM ET, Mondays on the Travel Channel). Alas, no such luck.

Anthony Bourdain: What is a “chef”?

DancingQueen — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 09:17:26 +0000

I love Anthony Bourdain. He dances with words, darting them to hit your palate, your gut, and your heart. He travels the world, he eats, he writes about it. He has a sense of humor and a glint in his eye. What does he think of his profession? Find out here: Anthony Bourdain: What is a “chef”?

Bertolli® Marketing Mash-up

DancingQueen — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 15:16:54 +0000

Now, I love cooking and I love marketing – but, Bertolli’s WhatsYourMedStyle.com seems like too much of a good thing.

The site utilizes technological flourishes including Rocco DiSpirito’s spirited attention grabbing opening speech. The main pull seems to be a chance for an opportunity to co-host an online cooking show (with Rocco DiSpirito of Top Chef fame, but of course), but as your eyes dart around the page, each calls for a different action.

To the side, they let you watch Rocco, and even better, they let you watch/rate/link your competition, should you enter the competition for the co-hosting opportunity. Then, almost as an afterthought, they stick on a $2 off coupon for Bertolli® Mediterranean style frozen dinners (they’re pretty good, actually). Then, as if ALL of the above wasn’t enough – they have a link to weekly giveaways such as $100 gift cards or autographed cookbooks.

Key Lime Pie: On A Stick

DancingQueen — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 08:24:33 +0000

IF you love those little yellow-green orbs that hail from Mile 0 (Key West) | IF you love that tart & creamy heavenly pie that is keylime | IF you don’t have your own personal jet to get to the Florida Keys…

Bring the Pie to You:

My personal favorite is Kermit’s Key Lime Shoppe their collection includes Frozen Key Lime Pie Dipped in Chocolate On A Stick: 24 bars at $169.95 is $7.08 per bar, a good $2.22 less than the Blond Giraffe’s $9.30 per bar (30 for $279.00).
