Ever hear of the white squirrels of Olney? It's a famous Southern Illinois oddity that we're about to explore. Coming up in the weeks ahead on Cruisin' Illinois ... we'll crack open this nutty (but true) story. For a preview, click on this LINK to see a YouTube video of the legendary Albino squirrels
In the meantime, if you ever want to see the Cruisin' Illinois archives (dating back 4 years), you can watch on demand by logging on to the Cruisin' home page.
Thanks for watching!
(Chicago, IL) Many of you have asked how things are going with the fledgling family enterprise, Old Havana Foods.
The latest news is me and Mrs. Crews are headed to New York the end of June to exhibit at the Summer Fancy Food Show. This is the Super Bowl of the specialty / gourmet food industry.
We were accepted in the "Member Candidate" category (a special exhibit space for tiny, family-owned companies like Old Havana). I'll be cooking up a storm in the "New Products on the Shelf" Pavilion, serving up samples of my legendary Cuban black beans and Chili Cubano.
Unfortunately, the show isn't open to the general public. But if you have a delicious family recipe concept and dream about marketing to the $63 billion dollar Specialty Food industry, listen up.
You can learn more about what it takes to package your mom's famous Cheesey-Cheese Casserole or Turkey Pot Pie at http://www.specialtyfood.com/fancy-food-show/about-fancy-food-show/ That's how I started my journey two years ago, gathering information about launching an ethnic food company
I'll let you know how things go in New York! Thanks for your words of encouragement. And as always - go Hawks!
