I Always Use Voice Recordings

I am adamant about using a voice recorder and taking zero notes during an interview. Keeping eye contact and experiencing the location, the people, and the venue are important. Oh yeah, and there’s the food!

Listen. React. Be present.

This is a video of a preliminary visit to determine if I wanted to pursue the location for an in-depth profile.

I write spotlight features, not reviews.

If I visit a venue that is underwhelming, I do not share that information. There is enough negativity in the world, especially in hospitality…

I only highlight amazing places that are positively newsworthy.
