The Power of Human Connection and our "State of the FoodIN"
Our team believes in the power of connection - for years we have been bridging the gap between the culinary industry and patrons. For many, connecting with a chef, waitstaff, their favorite farmer is part of experiencing food. And during this unfortunate health crisis, the experience of connecting with the culinary industry came to a screeching halt. As PR mavens who focus on helping food related businesses thrive, we took this slow down on “connections” to create a fun platform that would allow the food world to connect with those that not only adore it.... but need it. Our team created a video series called "State of the FoodIN" and invited culinary guests to connect with the world via Instagram Live 3 times a week. A roaring success, many guests found the experience a valuable experience to connect with their community and beyond.
We’d like to take another moment to thank our guests, who shared their stories with candor, humor and ultimately hope.
