We at tossdown have a confession to make. While busily scurrying around town (and well other cities of the country too) like madmen and women trying to make tossdown the king of all eatout portals in the country, we unfortunately assumed the role of the long-familiar step mom of the movies who almost always ends up ignoring her step child, which in our case was our poor little blog.  This we desperately needed to get out of the system because a guilty conscience is just not cut out for this sort of grueling work. To the tossdown team, if you are all reading this, you are free to collectively sigh with relief!! We have officially been given penance. Its time to get down to some serious scribbling because there is  just so much to write about and well lets just say we don’t want another episode of the horrible step mom creeping up now do we….?!

A lot has been happening. Facebook, with its complete invasion of our lives, has been the perfect little boy scout by helping tossdown cross the street and get down to some serious interaction with the public. By introducing new and tempting competitions, we have opened the gateway to our ever-excited, hyper younger generation that is always looking for ways to satiate their hunger for “FUN” & “FOOD”.  Our discount privilege cards have gathered a pretty decent (modesty is one of our greatest virtues if you haven’t noticed already) number of restaurants among the city’s better if not best eateries. Tossdown events at schools, colleges, expos, shopping malls etc. have given a great boost to our portal. This of course is a really small list of our current happenings and the rest of the ‘Top-Secret’ stuff shall be disclosed when the time is right. After all, with such teeth-clenching , aggressive competition these days, its better to secretly tip-toe around the market until you’re absolutely ready to pounce with your new found strategy and ideas.

I think its time we introduced you to our tossdown team. How does that sound? Alright in the coming issues be sure to catch the tossdown team hard at work and well in our jargon, hard at food. We’ll keep  you loyal tossdowners updated with all that is happening in the big, beautiful world of “Food & Eating out”!!

Till next time,

Happy eating and before you go, here’s a penny for your thoughts:

Next time you eat out and decide to leave a big portion of your meal untouched because you’re either watching your weight, or you’re out with friends who would make fun of your massive appetite, think twice. Its better to grab a doggy bag on your way out and hand it over to the nearest deserving and hungry person, than wasting all that good food :) . I learnt this from an expert and so should you;)

We beefed up the search. Till now we didn’t like our search, I know, we didn’t as well and we were just busy gathering data. Now that we had a bit of that, it was about time we put up a nice ‘show’ while giving it you.
