Last Friday we went out to dinner at a wonderful new Punjabi Dhaba. In my tiny town the international cuisine ranges from pizza, to Chinese food, to Mexican. Having a Punjabi Indian restaurant open here is marvelous. We had such a good time and the food was so enjoyable, that I wrote a restaurant review.
The owner happily let me interview him, went over his menu with me, and told me about the specialties he wants to share with the community.
Our local paper doesn’t have a restaurant review column, so I sent it to the main editor. She told me she would put it in the Letters to the Editor.
The next day, I received a phone call from the owner of the paper. She liked my writing so well, she asked me if I’d like to write a restaurant review column. Of course I said, “Yes.” Free meals, meet interesting people, write a few words; where could I go wrong?
Other than my gaining a few pounds, it should be a dandy gig.
Congrats! Love to see the article on Punjabi Dhaba.. makes my mouth water at the mere mention!
Thanks! It’s in the Dixon Tribune in Northern California.
