Valentine's Day Dishes & Cocktails with Chef Quotes for Forbes

Background: Aly Walansky is gathering submissions for Valentine’s Day themed dishes and drinks for Forbes. She is looking for concise, non-recipe pitches for cocktails/dishes, ideally with a quote from chef/bartender, a photo (and credit), and venue details. ASK: I’m seeking Valentine’s Day themed dishes and drinks. For all my cocktail/dish pieces, the format for pitching remains: - Name of cocktail - Where served, city, state, URL - LINK to image of the drink and photo credit - Description (NOT a recipe) of the drink, and quote about drink, with appropriate credit. - Quote about the dish from chef/bartender and please remember to include the name of the person being quoted and their title. General Submission Instructions: - Email Aly at [email redacted] — do NOT just hit reply on this newsletter, or there’s a good shot your email will be lost in the heap. - Give your email a subject line that makes it clear which story you are pitching for — it’ll help you in the long run. - Consult these guides before submitting: [url=https://substack.com/redirect/a87133fa-fffc-4b1f-8bd6-40d47d7d4e73]expert commentary[/url], [url=https://substack.com/redirect/b25389b2-ff06-444a-b982-e437ddfa2036]sending emails that will catch a journalist’s attention[/url], [url=https://substack.com/redirect/46e6c866-fe22-4162-b057-f1edbc3da987]how to craft pitches journalists will say ‘yes’ to[/url], [url=https://substack.com/redirect/5fd1d404-4f2b-4a07-8b62-8528897e4803]the right and wrong way to submit photos[/url].
