A Boston Food Diary and Groupon- A Heavenly Partnership!

As I wrote my last post I realized that there was one very large piece of my life lately that I haven't properly introduced to you all here!  Last August I was asked to start writing for a new section of the king of "deal" websites- Groupon.  They launched a local Guide component to their website, and I have been contributing there as an expert on the food and drinks that the great city of Boston has to offer.  

I have been LOVING my partnership with them.  Their local guides focus on food, fashion and fun around this great city and the writers that they have compiled to delve into each of these are fantastic voices bring color and excitement to each post.  

Definitely check out the section I get to be a part of here, and please let me know if you have any suggestions for future articles!

The idea is that the new restaurant will have an opportunity to show off their concepts, and the diners (read, again, you) will get to give your feedback, and, of course, have some bragging rights around your food obsessed friends.  Think a much cooler, futuristic Yelp...on steroids.  

We don't yet have dates, but it sounds like some will be announced soon- so stay alert people!

Restaurant Reviews: A dead art?

Last December I declared 2023 the year I would return to food writing.  It was a bold statement (even now as I look at my last published dat...
