Internet, Information About Food and Cooking
JupiterResearch has found the Internet to be an indispensable channel for food advertisers because 50 percent of online users are looking for food and cooking information online. Detailed in a new report, "Targeting Online Food Lovers -- Identifying Segments and Online Advertising Opportunities," JupiterResearch reveals that food advertisers should fully leverage the online channel and explore emerging opportunities around video and mobile content. Advertisers in niche categories including organic foods and gourmet foods must pay particular attention to the online advertising opportunity. Online food lovers that prefer to buy and eat gourmet foods, organic foods and 'good-for-you' foods are significantly more likely to use online food web sites than are online food lovers that say they primarily buy or choose their foods based on price.

Trick or treat?
Not since Andrea Burgener had Deluxe in Parktown North in 2002 and Dario de Angelli had Yum has a Johannesburg chef played with his food as enthusiastically as Wicus Prinsloo. And though the spectre of overkill lurks, it's usually to interesting and yummy effect. Green Truffle, which used to be Yum, is where Prinsloo, a young chef with high-level local and international experience, is strutting his stuff. His partner is "service ambassador" Yash Jithoo. "Green" encapsulates their bid to be Greenside's newest, freshest and trendiest restaurant, and its leap onto the organic bandwagon; "Truffle" signifies its serious gourmet intentions. .
