Debbie loves the Huddle House 45th anniversary promotion – I saw this promotion Fox & Friends on Wednesday, July 15: Huddle House created an outdoor diner just outside the Fox Studios, complete the counter, stools and full kitchen. The HH staff prepared free breakfasts for New Yorkers and gave out free T-shirts and other swag. The Fox & Friends cast talked about Huddle House repeatedly during their morning broadcast and the Huddle House CEO was on hand for a live interview. Fox & Friends even used the outdoor diner as a mini-set, conducting interviews with other morning show guests from the diner barstools. I have never eaten at a Huddle House, but now I’m motivated to give it a try. Those omelets looked tasty!
Jennifer loves Taylor Cuisine, Cafe and Catering – An article in the recent issue of Wilma magazine reminded me of this amazing little cafe located in the heart of Southport. I was introduced to Taylor’s a couple of years ago while working on a project in that area. The cafe offers cozy seating both indoors and outdoors, and this is one of those fun establishments where the chef mingles with the customers. Upon my first visit, I had a hard time deciding what to order between the selections on the menu and the daily specials board. I went with the highly recommended fried chicken salad. This is not your everyday salad. The best fried chicken I’ve ever tasted was served over a bed of fresh greens and sprinkled with candied pecans. It was outstanding. All this Talk about Taylor’s is making me hungry. I think it’s time to plan a visit to Southport!
Nathan loves the Inside Facebook blog – It’s probably the best blog for keeping up on what’s going on specifically to Facebook, new, innovative ways people are using it, and where the next trend on Facebook will be.
Shawn loves blogs on logo design – Recently I have been inundated with logo design projects with several more looming on the horizon. As many designers would agree, logos are one of the hardest projects of all. In fact, I use to whine, cry and procrastinate but that has, fortunately, gone by the wayside. Not because logos are any easier. I’ve just worked on so many that the process has become quite familiar and a lot less stressful. Ten common mistakes in logo design is a great quick read to make sure you and your logo designs are on track. I think the only mistake I may be a little tiny bit guilty of is #7.
Susan loves Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince – As an avid reader and writer, I’m always fascinated to see how books are translated into movies. And as a huge Harry Potter fan, I could not wait for the latest Potter installment that premiered at 12:01 this morning. Despite having to be at the office at 8:30 a.m., I was sitting excitedly in the theater from 10:30 last night to 2:45 this morning surrounded by other fanatics who adore the Harry Potter brand as much as I do. A lot of companies could look to the publishers and Warner Bros. for a lesson in how to keep their brands invigorated and keep their audiences singing their praises.
