Food Finding & Food Giving

Recently I mentioned a few projects that are in the works. One of the projects I was hesitant to talk about because I didn't want to jinx it. Kind of like when I was asked to write for WCCO. While I told my immediately family, I held off on telling the world because I was afraid the opportunity would somehow disappear.

Now that my first story has been published, I’m excited to share my new gig with Twin Cities Food Finds, a magazine that advertises local restaurants while raising funds for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure at the same time! It’s a drool worthy piece of work as it includes glossy photos and sample menus from participating restaurants. Here’s the cover for the 2010 issue (taken at Dakota Jazz Club) which can be purchased online.

So, what do I do for TC Food Finds? I dine out and write stories about each restaurant for the website. I love that it feeds my dining out habit and helps me connect with local restaurants. My first story on Town Talk Diner was published on Wednesday and there will be many more to come. Keep checking back!

In honor of dining out in the Twin Cities, I’ve decided to do a little giveaway.

This time there will be two winners. Each will receive a $10 gift certificate to Crave restaurant (valid at all three locations) & a coupon for complimentary Mumbai Crackers at OM restaurant (in downtown Minneapolis).
