Ultimate Foodie

Sorry we’ve slacked a bit on the posts and podcasts lately. We have some awesome stuff coming up here in the next few days. Here’s a bit of a run down:

This week:

Podcast with Bruce and Lisa from Libation Station- we’ll be talking about Craft Beer Month in Oregon - a subject near and dear to my heart and Bruce has promised a Bourbon Milkshake Recipe that has me drooling.

Podcast with Jill Sloane of CorkSavvy.com - CorkSavvy is a really awesome social network dedicated to Wine - they have just released a cool phone app that allows wine drinkers to snap pictures of labels and upload them into their “virtual cellar” at CorkSavvy

Wade will be reviewing the Traeger Pellet Grill - the words “Man-Crush” have been mentioned as well as the Scan Pan Professional and Classic Series fry pans

Karen and Joel have a ton of reviews on their plate as well.

Coming in the rest of July and early August, Ultimate Foodie is going Boston crazy as we prepare for our trip to Boston for Affiliate Summit by podcasting with Boston food and drink bloggers like HiddenBoston.com, DrinkBoston.com, BostonChefs.com and BallparkGourmet.com to get a feel for the best of Boston when it comes to fine dining, hidden restaurant gems, drinking in Boston and ballpark cuisine. It’s a busy month coming, so stay tuned to UltimateFoodie.com

We’re excited to announce that our friend Angel Djambazov will be contributing some restaurant reviews for UltimateFoodie. We spent some time yesterday on our inaugural podcast talking with Angel about Jones Soda, where he runs the online marketing initiatives, and we all had an amazing time. I’ve dined with Angel as well in the past and he has some great taste in food and restaurants and like me is a pretty adventurous eater.

Some may argue that adding someone to our staff with a relationship with a company like Jones would lead us to  “sell out”, to compromise our integrity to promote Jones because he is part of the team.    That speculation would be valid except for one important fact.   We planned to pimp Jones Soda well before Angel ever told us he was interested in joining UltimateFoodie as a contributor.

So there. Stay tuned for the UltimateFoodie Podcast #1 where Karen and I are joined by Angel and we talk about all things Jones Soda - It was a fun chat and we hope you enjoy it.

Angel - welcome to the family.

If you would be interested in contributing to UltimateFoodie, please send us an email with a sample article or review and we’ll chat.
