Hey Curtis: Nina here... loved the note you got... and I have a simple idea for you. Why don't you record a personal greeting for the graduate... maybe some advice as she enters the culinary world. Since she has a lot of respect for you, I bet she'd really enjoy it! Curtis: Too bad they don't live in my cable system. I would give them a discount on services, but my suggestion would be an autographed picture of her favorite chef! :) Gary V. Marketing Manager - Cox, Palos Verdes Curtis-- you should obviously send your cookbooks-specially autographed for the mother and then drop a note to all your Food Network chef buddies who have books and ask them to sign one each for the mother. that way you've created a library of very special cookbooks for her throw in a toque & an apron good luck-cheers-rl Big C- Happy New Year you wonderful man!!!!!! Could you get Food Network involved in this? It would be good "PR" for them. Perhaps contact the j heinkle company or caphalon... bon appetite magazine.....you MUST know someone. It would be incredible if you could get her on one of the shows on the Food Network...if it comes down to $...let me know and I'll pitch in. wonderful to hear from you!!!!! Heather Dear Curtis, About the writer and her mom: Both should be rewarded, yes. I wonder: have you e-mailed any cable connections you might have in the Houston area? Maybe there will be some Food Network function you can get her into. Are your shows on tape? Maybe a few strings (that I could easily pull) could get copies?? Signed book at minimum? Love, Colleen Dear Curtis: How about a visit from you for that wonderful lady! Best always, Shirley C. Curtis, My immediate thought is that maybe they could give her a lunch w/you. You probably go to New Orleans at least once a year for something work-related and if they're willing to fly her there for a conference they should be willing to fly her there or even someplace else close that you might be) to meet you. Perhaps you could work in a lunch w/this woman, who sounds like a great, inspirational mom. They could give her a card w/a "coupon" in it for the lunch meeting and then arrange for the actual date when you find out your schedule. That way you aren't out any money and the woman can meet her idol. Win-win. Deena Curtis, How about a set of knives or maybe a little weekend with Curtis? How about setting up an internship with some chef you know? Wow! Vix Curtis, It sounds to me like the most special thing to do would be to pay this woman a visit and cook with her for the day! She has really worked hard and that would really make it pay off!!! Lots of love, Jill Dear Curtis Why don't they send their Mom to a Cooking Across America event or if this is too expensive, how about buying all your cookbooks and you could autograph them for her. Alan Curtis-- I would think about maybe a new set of chef pans (All-Clad...) or maybe some other items she might need to get started in her new career. Dear Curtis, What a great story!! The neatest thing she could get is a big hug from you! Too bad you can't swing a trip to wherever she is and combine it with business or something!! Love, Chatty -- your loving sister! Curtis, Wow - what a great story! My initial thought is to find out her mom's name and send her a personalized copy of your book. I'll keep thinking of other ideas. Hugs. Lori Curtis: Maybe send her an autographed book and call her on her birthday. All the best, Rick Curtis- She could give her Mom some great chef uniforms from Chefwear! I could arrange to do special very low prices so they could get her a lot of stuff! Love, Rochelle Vote by clicking here and writing whose respond you choose |
