Media for Sugar and Champagne

As the Sugar and Champagne Affair fast approaches (1.28.09 at the Ritz Carlton), we have had some great opportunities to showcase what we do at Karing by Kristina and Barkley Square.

On Sunday January 18^th I was a guest on “Dishing It Out” a weekly radio show hosted by Nycci and David Nellis. I was interviewed along with Ellen Gray Of Equinox Restaurant (a new fave of the Obama’s) and Padua Player the Suga Chef. Click here to listen.

This morning both Kristina Robertson and I were on Fox 5 with Holly Morris. We filmed at Equinox Restaurant and were joined by several of the featured Chef’s that will be at Sugar and Champagne as well as some dogs from the Washington Humane Society. Click here to see Kristina's segment on Doggie Fashion, and here to see my segment on Doggie Treat Baking

Below are several photos from the filming
