With certain exceptions - David Lebowitz, Chocolate & Zucchini - this is the level of English-language food-blogging going on here in Paris. And practically nothing focused on wine. This enterprising blogger - who I turned up in research for a post about a wine shop - has found a novel way to monetize her blog. Selling her services as a best friend!
Why didn't I think of this?!
Actually, I'm not really a top-notch, Grade A best friend. I'm way too critical. So the only way I'm ever going to compete with this Best Friend Donna character is by ruthlessly undercutting her prices. I know there is the risk of an Amazon-Walmart-style price war, wherein we'll both compete until we're offering free Tupperware parties and palm massages, but I'm willing to chance it all - to be your Best Friend On A Budget.
