You may have recently read about my new social media business in a recent post. One of my first clients is a restaurant called Cafe Ole Tampa, which offers Spanish cuisine such as tapas, paella, sangria, and more. Of course, it wouldn’t be ethical for me to write a review of a business that I [...]

As I was updating my food blog last Monday in Miami I smelt a peculiar burning smell in my hotel room. I began to wonder if it was the Colombian BBQ I had earlier for dinner that night, but after almost an hour of sniffing for smoke I couldn’t find the source. Suddenly as I [...]

Hence my [...]
