WC DISH + WCOJ = Deliciousness (in Mary's Daily Dish)

I have to admit that the Sunday of the Restaurant Festival I was a little nervous about how the whole “broadcasting live” thing would go with WCOJ. I had made up a few activities to do (all involving food of course) and some silly games to play during our time on the air and while we were on the red carpet. I never came up with names for the games, so you may have heard me announcing to the streets of West Chester, “Okay, this next one is called Fill in the Blank Foodie Music Game.” I later called the exact same game, “Okay, now it’s time for the Musical Food Trivia Guess Game.” With all the festival commotion, the delicious food, the voting for the WC Dish Choice Awards and the huge amount of people, I didn’t have time to actually think about what I was saying to know if I sounded ridiculous or not.

At the end of the event, JT Morgan, from The Morning Edition of WCOJ, asked if I wanted to come on the show to do more food stuff. “You mean, I did good enough that you’d actually want me on the air again?” I asked. The answer was yes, and so it was.

We agreed on Friday mornings from 8 AM-9:30 AM and my first Friday was last week. At quarter of 8 I stopped at Nick’s Cafe to grab some breakfast treats and coffee to bring for me and JT. My heart sank as I walked in the door of the studio to see signs posted all over the office and studio: “NO FOOD AND DRINK ALLOWED IN THE STUDIO” and “NO FOOD OR DRINK AT ANY TIME.”

I think it was early enough that no one seemed to care that I brought in my white bag of breakfast foods and my much-needed caffeine fix and placed it right next to my microphone. JT handed me some monster headphones and before I knew it I was on the air.

The hour and a half flew by as we discussed new restaurants, food trivia, traffic reports, marshmallow burgers, weather reports, what my friends were eating for breakfast, traffic reports, breakfast, greek pastries and food happenings in West Chester.

Good times on WCOJ with my new friend JT. Good times. Tune in this week and have a taste. WCOJ 1420 am.

The Final Dish: Breakfast tastes better on air.

I was not able to listen to you on the radio but will be sure to do so since I like listening to the radio.

You should do pretty good considering your voice and everything.

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.
