I had hope to see a lot of posts here. As a restaurant owner, I make my own drinks for my customers. Making my own guiness punch, fruit punch as well as my secret weapon the famour rum punch enables me to differentiate my offer and thereby increase the appeal of my business.
I would advocate that the food and drink blogs.posts focus on the differentiating aspect rather than their similarity. I like to hear from other subscribers and readers to get a proper feedback..
I hope to see feedback when I come and re-visit this valuable resource in the near future.
