On a recent visit to local catering company TasteBudz, MCG’s first 10 in 2010 participant, I had the chance to catch up with Judy, TasteBudz owner and chef extraordinaire, on everything she and her team have been working on since their session back in January. Judy and I have been working together on designing her new e-newsletter, so I already knew how eager she was to start implementing tactics from her communications plan. What I did not know, however, was just how fast she hit the ground running!

Over a big plate of Mexican lasagna, a peachy bean pot, quinoa salad and a few other tasty dishes (more than I’d like to admit), I learned that Judy has already joined the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce and hosted healthy eating booths at a number of local events. She’s also working on recruiting PR and marketing students to expand TasteBudz’s online and grassroots presence and help tailor its messaging to reach each of their niche audiences—vegetarians, moms and healthy eaters.

Sitting down with Judy was truly a treat (no pun intended!), and it was so exciting to hear how she and her team have taken what they learned at 10 in 2010 and used that knowledge to further their business goals. I can’t wait to see the great things TasteBudz has in store in the future, and to follow their progress over this next year. Hopefully it will require many trips to their restaurant!
