I would consider myself to be a very competitive person. I like a challenge and will always finish something I start. I take great pride in making sure what I do is done well. Someone with great wisdom told me that, and it stuck with me ever since. I have been very busy in the last few months trying to grow my brand and my image. I have tried to partner and collaborate with the right people to help foster change and implement growth. It has been a daunting task but I have worked around the clock to make sure the foundation is set for what is next to come. I was approached early last week by a member of the National Post via Instagram to see if I wanted to join "Gastropost Toronto - Food Missions for Food Lovers". I figured it was a chance to go up against some pretty talented people and help spread my brand "Dino" with a selected target audience. I quickly replied with a firm YES, and my first mission was delivered, "SAUCE". What better way to start my inaugural mission than with sauce. For my close circle of friends and for the select few that know me extremely well, they will know that SAUCE is one of my middle names. I love to add sauce to just about everything I touch in and out of the kitchen. I started thinking of a time where I may have got carried away and needed to simmer down the heat a little. For my friends that were there, this one picture will bring back all the memories. It was a special occasion, especially for a good friend of mine. It was her "send off" party, as she was starting to chase her dreams. I will never forget this picture nor will I forget that night. We ate and drank like kings and had a mansion as our backdrop. So as I gathered my thoughts, collected my feelings and started exploring the vast amounts of photos both past and present, I saw the picture. It was from my glorious honeymoon to the South of France. What better backdrop could there be for such a topic. We found this little place that was offering a wonderful aroma of fresh tomato sauce and pasta. OH BOY! La Taverne Massena - Maison Cresci was just to die for. The pasta was light and fresh and their pasta was perfect tomato red with just the right amount of spice. I had to select one of these images. I had about ten or so to choose from and couldn't quite nail it. I was caught between four images and knew something had to give. So I decided to use layouts on Instagram and merge all four images into what I like to call "Food Symphony". After mere hours after submitting my photo I got the elusive email that they loved my image and wanted to make a Gastrosketch of me and include a little bio for this weeks paper. I was jumping for joy and new that I would be selected all along. I look forward to read this weeks edition of Gastropost - Toronto and for many more weeks to come. Make sure to look for Dino and my wonderful addition to the weekly paper. "Perfection is never reached." - Ettore Bugatti Dino.
