Join Liz and Bob Weinmann for a springtime brunch for eight (8) people at their home situated right on lush Combination Pond in Rutland. Experience one of Vermont’s most beautiful natural settings

while you chat and chew with two veteran marketers, food connoisseurs and avid cooks who together have dished the dirt, ruffled some feathers, enjoyed their share of wild pâté, and earned more than a

little lettuce while enjoying the feeding frenzy of some of the best-known chefs, celebrities, foodbrands and agricultural organizations in the world. You cannoli imagine the truffles they’ve seen,

they know exactly what cheeses would do, and they've learned how to deal with too many unreliable sauces. They're finally ready-whipping and willing to taco about it – no pun-cakes syruptitiously or udder-wise. From what’s in Big Macs to what’s not in the “other white meat,” from tossed in Boston

to cruising in Beijing, eating for pay in L.A, to whining and dining in northern N-J - bada-bing! They’ve created and directed marketing and sales campaigns for everything from soup to nuts,meat and

potatoes, peanut butter and jelly, milk and water. Get a fabulous brunch plus an insider’s view on how food is manufactured, peddled, lobbied, and marketed by some of the

most devious minds in the business! Courtesy of Liz and Bob Weinmann.
