15th Annual TASTE OF SUCCESS:
A Cook-off/Bake-off Event
Supporting the Philadelphia Region’s Local Entrepreneurs
I've been aware of Entrepreneur Works for some time, so it's odd that this was the first year knowing about and attending their Cook-off/Bake-off contest called "Taste of Success", which is in its 15th year. 12 food entrepreneurs got the chance to enter a winning appetizer or dessert in a competition for cash prizes. The contestants were judged by two top local chefs: Chef /Owner Joncarl Lachman of NOORD and Chef/Owner Lee Styer of FOND. For the fifth consecutive year, Taste of Success was hosted by Jim Donovan, co-anchor with CBS 3 Philly’s Eyewitness News This Morning (exclusive media sponsor of #TOS2017).
During the evening, Entrepreneur Works also presented awards to their Hall of Fame Inductees: Ibrahim Suma-Keita of Suma Home Care, Inc. and Latasha Sampson of Chocolate City Hair Studio & Day Spa. The respective start up phases of both businesses, were greatly benefited by EW in the form of small business training, loans and guidance.

A couple of years ago I went to Entrepreneur Works for a little guidance on how to take Tinsel & Tine from a blog to a business. They were friendly, caring and responsive, but other than suggesting Affiliate Marketing, which I'd already tried unsuccessfully, they could not assist me; however, if you have a tangible business or trying to start a business with a more traditional model or product, Entrepreneur Works is a wonderful resource.
