Local restaurateur to appear on TLC’s ‘Home Made Simple’

Practicing What I Preach

I am a big proponent of low cost no cost restaurant marketing.  I also teach people how to get free press and garner tons of media attention through press releases.  Recently my family was chosen to be on Home Made Simple on TLC.  It didn’t just stop there I took it as an opportunity to gain exposure for one of my restaurants.  I further pushed the opportunity with a press release and got in the News and Observer and several website newswires and blog posts. I even shared it with all my guests through newsletter, emails, website, facebook and twitter.

I think every restaurant owner has the ability to talk about the great stuff and charitable contributions in their restaurants.  Restaurant Success Members get a copy of my special report which outlines all the details of how to get manage your PR and fundraisers and how to use it all to get gobs of FREE Publicity. Members can tune into a special audio posted on exactly How To Get Massive PR and Use Fundraising.

Local restaurateur to appear
on TLC’s ‘Home Made Simple’
Submitted by Sue Stock on 04/08/2010 – News & Observer

Fans of Raleigh’s Jumpin’ Jonny’s restaurant will be able to spot the restaurant and owner Jonathan Munsell on an episode of TLC’s “Home Made Simple” this weekend. Munsell and his wife, Cheryl have a busy life, running their restaurant company and raising their two sons, ages 3 and 6. Last year, Jonathan had back surgery that made him unable to walk for a month. Between health issues, running the restaurant and donating time and food to many area charities, the Munsells simply did not have time to finish some home improvement projects they had started. The “Home Made Simple” crew visited the Munsell’s Cary home in June, but the episode featuring the family has not yet aired. It will debut on TLC this Saturday at noon.

Home Made Simple Details
Here is what Home Made Simple and the Mavens did in our home.

To help the family relive their trip to the Dominican Republic, Cooking Maven Deborah showed Cheryl a recipe for Sautéed Shrimp in Tropical Fruit Sauce. Deborah and Cheryl continued the tropical theme with Dessert Plantains recipe perfect for topping off ice cream.

Home Maven Patrick helped Jonathan build a bench with room for baskets to organize toys. He also added shelves to add a decorative touch to the area between the living room and family room.

Patrick and Décor Maven Wanda helped Jonathan create spaces for the family’s two boys to play with an indoor playground and a race track-themed playroom. To finish off the racetrack theme, Wanda and Jonathan removed the closet doors and added a garage-style storage unit.
