Legend has it there was a big-hearted, slightly rebellious entrepreneur who loved to eat.

And drink. Preferably in the company of good friends.

But she wouldn’t eat just any old junk food. Nossiree.

She considered herself a connoisseur of sorts. Someone who appreciated attention to detail and the finest ingredients.

One day, while playing around with Google’s auto-suggest function (try typing in “why is the…” for a taste), up popped a link to a virtual eating establishment: Story Bistro.

Intrigued, she clickety-clicked her way over and was amazed to find they’d been expecting her.

Inside, she found someone who claimed to be her mentor. The Yoda to her Luke Skywalker. The Dumbledore to her Harry Potter. The Glinda to her Dorothy.

Someone who’d vowed only to wield marketing tools for good (not evil).

Over time, she came to trust this mentor. And together, they worked to build and change the world around them.

“Téa’s every ounce the master chef. She’s insightful, creative, and brilliant. Her sense of humor, marketing expertise, and caring ways will make you ask for more every time. Just looking at her offerings makes my mouth water. Go ahead and sign up. Your business will thank you.”
