Theo Chocolate and Fremont Whiskey Distillery Tasting Event with Google+ Local in Seattle

Today, I had the opportunity to work with the amazing, Theo Chocolate and Fremont Mischief Whiskey in Fremont, Seattle. These guys sure know how to make some fine chocolate and whiskey. As the Google+ Local and Zagat Community Manager, I rallied up 20 lucky reviewers in Seattle for an evening of chocolate and whiskey tasting, a tour of the Theo Chocolate factory and a hands-on session of making chocolate brittle. What a night! See photos below.  Submit a review of Theo Chocolate on Google+ Local and rate their quality, appeal and service.

Google+ Local Brunch Event at Wild Ginger

Today, we hosted a special Google+ Local event just for our Top Reviewers. “Top Reviewers” generally have over 100 quality reviews using the Google+ Local feature on Google+. If you’ve never been to Wild Ginger, you’ll have to make some time for it… cause it’s that good! Our guests had the opportunity to mingle with other foodies and fellow reviewers in Seattle.

If you’re new to Wild Ginger, there are two Wild Ginger locations: one in downtown Seattle, and the other in Downtown Bellevue at The Bravern. The dim sum and hawker cuisine is only offered on Saturdays, 11:30AM–3PM and Sundays, 12PM-3PM. If you’re unfamiliar with “hawker centers,” they are: A hawker centre or cooked food centre (Chinese: 小贩中心 or 熟食中心) is the name given to open-air complexes in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Riau Islands housing many stalls that sell a variety of inexpensive food. They are typically found near public housing estates or transport hubs (such as bus interchanges or train stations). (Wikipedia)
