The highly successful Atlantic City Beer Festival will be returning to the Convention Center in March 2008. Check here for updates or go to www.acbeerfest.com 

Recommended is The Bartender's Show, hosted by Richard Suess. I taped an appearance on his show in November and had a great time chatting with him. Richard also runs Bartenders4Hire, a placement service for bartenders needed on a full or part-time basis. That link appears below.

Christina Pirello is the award-winning host of "Christina Cooks," seen nationally on PBS. Her husband, Robert, and she are two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Please visit her website.

Maria Liberati is the author of "The Basic Art of Italian Cooking." I highly recommend it. Look for a project or two with Maria to be announced shortly.
