While this…

Whether you want to admit it or not, social media is here to stay.  Everyone (And I truly mean EVERYONE), needs to accept this fact and figure out how they want to incorporate social media into their marketing and advertising efforts.

When I'm in restaurants, meeting with the owners, discussing  their customer loyalty and marketing plans, I learn as much as I can about what they…

Restaurants are a common new business venture but unfortunately, they also have a high rate of business failure.

We ask ourselves... what are the reasons people go to restaurants? Dining out is more than just going for food. In many situations, dining out means a social event or an entertainment experience. The overall atmosphere within the restaurant has a large impact. The manager or owner of a restaurant needs to have a focus on the customers' entire dining…

Readers of my blog will know by now that my writing schedule has stepped up a bunch. What you may be shocked to hear is that I am curtailing certain other activities (use your imagination) so that I can continue to plug away at the writing. To be clear, I write for myself and because I have to. I absolutely need to write, and those days that I don't have even the shortest window to throw some thoughts down, are days that I don't feel I fully lived.



But I've noticed… Continue

Miley Cyrus left Twitter because she felt like a social media slave and I certainly felt like one last week as my to do list kept bugging me that I haven't blogged in a while.



No one ever said it was easy to do this social media thing, but I think it's especially challenging for businesses. I try to blog once a week. If I have ideas during the week, I just pop them into a folder and then when "blogging… Continue

If you are like most restaurants, you probably already have a website. If not, you are missing out on many marketing opportunities and will want to get one ASAP. For those that already have an established website, pull up a seat and get comfy while I share some of the ingredients to a recipe to help launch your business from… Continue

Chef2video being a 100% user generated content site, we tend to come across thousands of food video producers, bloggers and writers. As such, we thought it would be fun to share our “Top 10s” in different categories, hoping you will comment back with your own favorites.



The first category is… “Thoughtful Food Blogs”. We consider these bloggers to be thought leaders in their category, people who raise awareness and guide change in how we grow and consume our food or intelligently run… Continue

Not all of us are familiar with how to post a web log (blog). According to wikipedia, A blog (a contraction of the term "Web log") is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.



Blog is short for Web log. Blogs are publicly available… Continue

I have FohBoh to thank for this, my first foray into blogging. It's a culmination of a few things actually.



I love technology. I grew up with it. My first real computer was a time-sharing system. Dial up? Yes, but the "keyboard and monitor" were a clunky teletype system. On a good day you might even hear me tell some stories about DARPAnet. I've played with mainframes, minicomputers and PC’s starting with DOS 1.0.



I’d giggle inside my head when visiting friends and I saw… Continue

As a busy restaurateur, you embrace anything that accomplishes two goals with one action. If that action happens to take advantage of the very latest trend, all the better!



Two goals any business owner strives to pursue are increasing internet visibility while keeping your business personal. Blogging is the perfect way to take advantage of social network trends while increasing traffic to your restaurant website – and restaurant - by connecting emotionally with… Continue
