I’ve organized a few tweet ups in Ottawa over the year so that I could enjoy new restaurants with other foodies. We have enjoyed tweet ups at Ceylonta, at Coconut Lagoon, and at Blue Nile too. I was kinda having a hard time finding the right restaurant for the next tweet up but FoodiePrints came to the rescue. While reading their blog entry on Serious Cheese, I said to myself “aha – a cheese tweet up”.
I immediately picked up the phone to speak to the owner of Serious Cheese and asked him if he would be interested in doing this. He agreed over the phone. I then set up the twtvite and tweeted out the invitation a few times on twitter.
Here’s how it worked: On Sat Night, over 20 people came to the store to enjoy CHEESE – talk about cheese, mingle, eat cheese and eat some more cheese.
It was a perfect tweet up. Lots of mingling and lots of eating.
Many of us enjoyed grilled cheese sandwiches:
Many of us also enjoyed their asweome goo-ey macaroni and cheese.
Cheese-y Goodness...
Jamie put out some lovely samples of cheese along with Dolces’ Gourmet Jam – and everyone was clearly happy.
Tweet Ups are a great way to meet other people with similar interests. Infact the group on Saturday nite, included a foodie from Boston (@GeekBoston).
I can’t wait to organize the next tweet up for my next visit. I’m thinking about a Jam tweet up. What do you think?
