Friends,
I don’t know about you, but I feel like these summer is going by way too fast! How are we in August? The Halloween decor is already on the shelves at Marshall’s!!!
Deep breaths.
To help us all stay in the summer moment, I’ve got a weekend of barbecues and backyard bashes starting tonight at Popina, where wine guru and Strong Buzz pal James O’Brien is hosting a casual, al fresco hang with New York Times bestselling author Katie Parla to celebrate her recent book, Rome--A Culinary History, Cookbook, and Field Guide to the Flavors that Built a City. James is pulling out all the stops for this party—he’s got live music by Simon Dufour, a negroni & spritz bar, and food inspired by Rome. I’ll be there and hope to see you! Reserve here,
If this sounds good, I’ve got three more fantastic chef-driven parties happening this weekend below the jump. Hope you will consider upgrading to become a paid member of the community here.
Also, from now through Sept 1st, my So you Want to Be a Food Writer, bootcamp class is half-off! Sign up here for $40 access to this two hour workshop where you’ll learn all the basics -- from pitch to sale -- of how to get started in the world of food writing.
Have a great weekend and see you Monday.
Andrea
