Written by Tara Lazar. Illustrated by Ross MacDonald.

So I literally just got back from a few days in NYC. IF you follow me on insta I know you know but I am totally going to share this here. I was so excited to be invited up for the big Michelin Party. So here is the skinny. Most years each city has it's own party to celebrate the announcement of who kept their stars and who is added. In DC it has been at the French Ambassadors residence every year since DC got their stars. And I gotta say I loved that party - But this year they combined DC, Chicago and NYC. Totally different and incredibly cool. But before the big party — girl had to eat oh and walk — you know I got my 20k steps in every day. Back to Fenchette for a long lovely lunch of oysters with sausages, runny eggs and mortadella, steak tartare and the crispy hot and oh so good frites and of course I had the Paris Brest stuffed with pistachio creme for dessert Galerie at the Smyth Hotel for cocktails The big party at the Spring Studios in Tribeca — Daniel Boulud, Patrick O'Connell, Eric Ripert, Thomas Keller — all the names you know and maybe a few that you don't were there toasting each other and getting their stars. Too many chefs to list here — but got the TheListAreYouOnIt.com for an update on who has been added and who maintained their status. Late night eats at Odeon — let's just say it was a french brasserie meal kind of day Before leaving to get back to DC I did pop by Danny Myers new Italian spot Ci Siamo in the very sexy Manhattan West development — next to the new Pendry and across from the Hudson Yards development — also incredibly close to Moynihan! Live-fire cooking, house-made pasta, and a robust Italian wine list — not everything was a hit but the place was BIZZY AND BUZZY — anything coming out of the fire was lit Okay now on to today's show. Now some of you know that I aside from my media arm of the list I also have a consulting arm. It is probably one of the  most rewarding parts of my business. Working with companies like Hilton, Aramark, among many others I have the ability to put business opportunities in front of independent restaurant owners. I love that. Last year I was working on a project in Palm Springs and came across the incredible Tara Lazar. She is a restaurateur - in the truist sense — she cooks, does all the menu development, the look -feel-and-vibes are all her. She has nine restaurants and NO INVESTORS. She is a mom of two, a wife and in her spare time she is opening up two more properties AND oh I forgot she also opened up a hotel. I was out in Palm Springs in March for a bit of biz and a bit of play and the highlight was hanging out with Tara! I also ate at almost all of her restaurants! In fact Cheeky's was across the street from where I was staying and every morning there was a line to get in — every morning! So let's talk industry biz with Tara Lazar of F10 Creative ~ Quotes "Creating a memorable dining experience is about more than just delicious food. It's about crafting a welcoming atmosphere that makes guests feel part of our community." - Tara Lazar "I believe in taking risks and being willing to close down a venture if it's not working out. It's about learning and evolving in this industry." - Tara Lazar Guest Social Media Links Tara Lazar https://www.instagram.com/taralazarf10/ https://www.instagram.com/f10creative/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/tara-lazar-20045219b/ Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 05:07 - From TV Host to Consultant: Embracing a Multifaceted Role 12:10 - Navigating a Restaurant Mishap 15:00 - Frequently Changing Menus for Locals 19:32 - Resourcefulness in Small Spaces 24:04 - A Vegetarian Restaurant's Unique Twist 28:34 - A Palm Springs Catering Companies Specialties 31:33 - From Cheeky Parties to Diverse Cuisines 35:33 - Kitchen Dedication: Front of House vs. Behind the Scenes 39:20 - Navigating Service Charges and Ethos 40:49 - Shifting Ethos: Progress Hindered by the Pandemic 44:16 - Trust and Delivery Challenges: Fostering a Kids' Food Program 49:21 - When Crazy Panic Sparks Nutrient-Packed Creations 53:17 - Outro Featuring Nycci Nellis https://www.instagram.com/nyccinellis/ https://www.thelistareyouonit.com/ Produced by Heartcast Media http://www.heartcastmedia.com

Classroom 2.0 LIVE webinar "Picture Book Month and celebration of Dianne de Las Casas" with Tara Lazar, Katie Davis, John Couret and Paula Naugle. October 14, 2017 Today's webinar is a very special show for us! We have the opportunity to learn all about Picture Book Month from Tara Lazar and Katie Davis, co-founders and renowned children's authors. Picture Book Month was envisioned and founded by Dianne de Las Casas who was our special guest presenter in May, 2017 on Classroom 2.0 LIVE. Sadly, Dianne lost her life in a tragic fire recently and we wanted to honor her legacy by celebrating her life through this featured presentation about Picture Book Month. We will learn about the importance of picture books for students and Picture Book Month. They have created an outstanding Teacher's Guide for participants in Picture Book Month. Our presenters will also share some of their special memories of Dianne de Las Casas including a special visit from John Couret who began writing children’s books because of Dianne’s inspiration. Author Tara Lazar has six picture books in print with many more to come. Her latest title is “7 Ate 9: The Untold Story” from Disney*Hyperion. Next fall look for her illustrated dictionary “500 Words to Bumfuzzle Your Teachers & Bamboozle Your Frenemies”. Tara is the founder of STORYSTORM, a writer’s brainstorming challenge formerly known as Picture Book Idea Month. She is a picture book mentor for We Need Diverse Books and the co-chair of the Rutgers University Council on Children’s Literature annual conference. Katie’s secret superpower is her ability to teach non-techy and tech-fearful writers how to become better business people by building their platforms through social media, video, and creating/building mailing lists. Also known in her niche as one of the first writer entrepreneurs, Katie has created many events and courses for writers, including How to Create Your Author Platform (and Market Your Books without Being Pushy), Video Idiot Boot Camp, and Picture Book Summit (the largest and first online conference of its kind). Her podcast, Brain Burps About Books, is consistently ranked in the top 10 book-related categories. She’s appeared regularly on WTNH and The Huffington Post. She is the director of the Institute of Children’s Literature, which provides accredited writing courses for both adult and children’s books. Katie has been honored to speak everywhere from a maximum security prison, to elementary schools, to university level, including UCONN and Yale, and has keynoted conferences and fundraising galas. You can subscribe to Katie’s YouTube channel at KatieDavis.TV or the #1 podcast in iTunes in Children’s Publishing by going to KatieDavis.com/podcast. Katie Davis’s books, published by Harcourt, S&S, HarperCollins, and Diversion Books, have sold over 755,000 copies, which is why she’s published How to Promote Your Children’s Book, a marketing guide for writers that debuted at #1 on Amazon. http://picturebookmonth.com/ https://taralazar.com/storystorm/ http://katiedavis.com/ https://www.gofundme.com/4b4y0xs (Go Fund Me in Celebration of Dianne de Las Casas)
