Food Buzz Bloggers Chow Down at Tokkuri Tei


I had a wonderful experience this week at a fantastic Japanese restaurant in Honolulu (Tokkuri Tei, 611 Kapahulu Ave Honolulu, HI 96815 (808) 739-2800).

Believe me the food was top notch. Incredible dishes, of sushi, sashimi, delicate morsels of all manner of Japanese cuisine. But it wasn't the food.

Various dishes were literally being thrown at our table by the minute. sometimes several in a minute. We ate family style, which allowed us to sample an amazing array of all manner of tastes and textures. But it wasn't about the incredible tastes.

The ambiance was pleasant and comfortable. The wait staff were attentive and energetic. But it really had nothing to do with the restaurant itself.

It was all about the company. As a featured publisher on Food Buzz, I was invited to get together with several other food bloggers to network, discuss food and enjoy a meal together.

Call it Sushi Therapy. Sushi Therapy is when friends get together eat sushi, and synergy happens.

Nate and Annie were the hosts of the event. Together their blog serves food insights, reviews and recipes at House of Annie. Their blog boasts, "a culinary journey from East to West to find flavors both old and new." Both were extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. Annie is originally from Malaysia, while Nate is a Hawaii boy.

Michele, was also there. Her passion is food. Her blog is, The Accidental Scientist. She explained that "along the course of writing and researching my dissertation, I gained an insatiable appetite for eating, drinking and learning everything I could about food and wine."

Rounding out our dinner party was Deb. Her blog is called Kahakai Kitchen. Kahakai is Hawaiian for beach. Deb loves to spend time at the beach and in the kitchen. Her blog is about "cooking, eating and living in paradise." Her blog adds insight to the entire Hawaiian experience.


I was honored to meet some incredible people, ate wonderful food and discovered a new restaurant in my hometown. What could possibly be better than that?

Pizza Therapy Discovers Viral Link Tracker Therapy

Let's face it: if you have a blog or website, you need to get traffic. Multiple streams of traffic. Viral traffic. You need to unlock viral markets. If you don't, you're stuck in no-where land.

What's the purpose of sharing information, if you are not getting your message out there?

Pizza Therapy had a case of the Low Traffic Blahs. I mean the Alexa rating was so low, the site didn't even show up in the rankings. Oh my.

That's all changed.

I'm very pleased to announce, I found a cure. I was invited by Brett Ingram to help promote his brand new web tool called Viral Link Tracker. I was honored he came to the rescue.

When I started playing around with Viral Link Tracker, I couldn't believe it. Brett is onto something BIG here. Huge. Gigantic.

Viral Link Tracker has the ability to cloak links as well as give stats. You need to be able to cloak your affiliate links. As any serious marketer knows, stats are also extremely important. You need to know what's working and what's not working.

The most remarkable feature is that the more you use it, the more it works for you. And: it's free.

So if you have a website, a blog or you are marketing anything on-line, you need jump on board with Viral Link Tracker.

It's incredibly easy to use. It's simple to set up. And it spreads your message like a virus. That means: traffic, tracffic, traffic. And if anyone else picks up on your message, that means even more traffic.

This web tool is not the best at what it does, it's the only one that does what it does.

I recommend Viral Link Tracker without hesitation or reservation. This tool is simply amazing.

Thanks, Brett. It's now sunny and warm in Pizzaland. The crust is getting crisp, the cheese is melted, and the pepperoni is perfect. Pizza Therapy is back on track.

If you want to supercharge your blog, website or on-line promos, you need to join Viral Link Tracker. This could be the best move you made all year.

pizza on earth,
