Business Woman of the Year? (in Mary's Daily Dish)

I got a phone call two weeks ago with some very unexpected and exciting news. “Mary, you’ve been nominated and chosen as the WRN’s Business Woman of the Year.”

Holy crap! Me?

I immediately called my mom and dad to tell them the cool news and then realized that I don’t even have a business suit (I checked with the organizers and they said it’s fine to wear my favorite green dress to the awards dinner.). I was told I needed a head shot, so I decided on a photo of me eating a strawberry. The photographer said there was something in my eyes that said, “I want to eat you,” so I went with it. I’m not sure if that’s appropriate or not, but I’m usually not very appropriate…so we’ll see how it goes.

The Women’s Referral Network of Chester County is presenting the award at a dinner next Thursday at The Chester Valley Golf Club. I am SO excited about this and can only credit the honor to my incredible support system and all the fellow foodies in the area.

All of the dinner details are available on the WRN website if anyone would like to come for a delicious evening.

The Final Dish:

Still thinking… Holy Crap!

Comment Guidelines

Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?: Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.
Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.: We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.
Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.: Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.
Be Concise. 'Nuf said.: What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.
Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.: Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.
Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.: If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.
Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.: We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
