I have become a research junkie. I am always searching for more and better ways to reach my customers and future fans of Thighbones Catering. This week, during my many forays onto the web, I found a new site that allows for group fundraising and takes away a lot of the hassle! SO we at Thighbones have launched a campaign to raise funds to get into the Summer festivals and create new fans and perhaps a tipping point in our popularity. I am envisioning serving our Soul Food, Mexican, Asian, Italian and Barbecue in newer, more delicious and creative ways!! So much yumminess!! The website we are using is called CrowdTilt. The way it works is: We set up a profile and a date by which we want to raise funds by. Then we set an amount we wish to raise, in our case $3,000. Then it is up to us to promote this thing everywhere and to everyone we know. That's the fun part! I realized that I have many networks to include Facebook, Blogger, Twitter, LinkedIn, and my many email accounts. This promotion has 6 days and 23 hours to "Tilt". If we don't reach our goal, no one who has pledged is charged. If we do, LOOK OUT FESTIVAL CIRCUIT!!. I am excited and pretty confident that we can tilt this thing. I will give an update soon!

Recipe for Success
This week, Thighbones Catering had the honor of representing for Black History Month. A room full of power~players, students and special guests enjoyed Sweet Potato Pie, Pecan Pie, 3 kinds of Quiche and more! There is a lot of work that goes into feeding so many people, but it is worth it when you see people smiling and coming back for more.
It is important to keep networking and telling folks about the great products offered, and the delicious flavor profile they are in for! As the great motivator Les Brown says, "When you are tired of talking to people, talk to 5 more!" This ambitious spirit pays off in more than just money. Connecting with others in your community, building your brand, establishing yourself as a consistent purveyor of quality all combine to help you stand out.
One of the greatest parts of what I do is knowing that I am following in the footsteps of the generations of cooks on my father's side. Watching my dad cook built a passion for the chemistry of cooking that goes with me and that I have shared with my offspring. What a delicious way to spend Black History Month and every day!
