I'm running for Kiwanis Governor-Elect

So I am running for Kiwanis Governor-Elect. I am very excited. My District in Kiwanis included Arizona, New Mexico, and El Paso County Texas. It is a great district. We have amazing people and culture. And we have AMAZING food!!!

You have the Mexican Influence, the Native American Influence, and some Cowboy Cuisine mixed in there.

So the food guy will get to have wonderful food around the District.

But what is Kiwanis... It is a Community Service Organization that changes the World, ONE CHILD and ONE COMMUNITY at a time.

You should join Kiwanis and join me in changing the World.

Coming Soon... Pizzeria Bianco

3 hour wait for a pie... You gotta be kidding me? Nope. That is normal at the Phoenix eatery of Chris Bianco. It must be worth it to have people waiting that long. I mean you can get pizza anywhere. But this is a Bianco pie. It is the top of the pizza world, well at least the national pizza scene.

Rated as one of the best pizza places in the nation by countless news outlets and surveys. This place is the pizza mecca. But Michael, they don't have the fancy certificate and number from Naples like Vero Amore. Well maybe not, but they have something that Vero Amore nor no other pizza place have, a James Beard award.

Well I have never tasted the pizza heaven that is Bianco. Well consider it is a 2 hour drive to Phoenix, plus you have the 3 to 4 hour wait. Well I can't handle that for a pizza. But alas, have no fear, Chris Bianco and his pizza will be near...

That's right, Chris will be opening his trademark Pizza location here in Tucson. It is part of the downtown revitalization that is sweeping through Tucson. I think it will be a welcomed addition. If Chris keeps to his ways of using local sourced foods as much as possible and if Chris becomes part of the Tucson community I think Chris has what it takes in his character as told by others, me never have met him, to overcome the Tucson-Phoenix rivalry that has made victim many a restauranteur that has tried to make Tucson their second home.

Once Chris comes to town I hope to try his pizza. Right now Vero Amore is my favorite pie in Tucson but I am always willing to try new pie. Does the Tucson Food Guy know Pizza? I would say so... I am from Pizza Pedigree. My cousins have owned and operated Denino's Pizza on Staten Island, named one of the best pizza places in New York since 1937. Denino's will always be the best pie I have ever eaten.

Hopefully Bianco's Tucson Pizza will take the place of the family as the best pizza in my heart.

Triberr - The Bloggers Superhero... with Proof

Many of you have heard me sing my praises for Triberr before. But it really is a superhero...


 

But now I have the proof... Back in 2007 I started Tucson Food Guy.


Don't you love my little cactus. Well back then I was a little blogger with really no audience. Well unless you count my mom, who even she didn't like my blog. 

Well after some redos and mistakes I think I finally hit a mega 50 page hits... Yippie.

Then something changed in my life. I met this dude named Dino. And he was telling me about this awesome business he started with a friend called Triberr. Well I was like, yeah ok Dino, you're my friend's friend so I will be nice to you and sign up but whatever, I have no views anyway.

So I used Triberr for a post or 2 on my blogger site. Then I took down my original blog and did some revisions and what not on WordPress. So it brings me to now. I came back to Blogger because of the integration with Google Plus. But wait... I looked at my visits chart on Blogger... And look what I see...


Wow my numbers shot through the roof during the time I was tracking visits with Blogger and was using Triberr.

I had over 4000 hits in the few months that I was online with Triberr and Blogger. Nevermind how many more hits I had with Wordpress and Triberr.

So now with the proof in hand I ask you... Why are you not on Triberr?
