Papi’s Place Latin American Eatery to Open February 2011 in Houston

If you crave that Cuban sandwich you had on your weekend getaway to Miami, or that seafood paella and caldo Gallego from your college trip to Spain, come to Papi’s Place.

An Argentine savory empanada or that mofongo that Guy Fieri was raving about? The Cuban frita? The Colombian bandeja paisa? The guava rum raisin bread pudding? All in one place! Only at Papi’s Place.

Do you feel like playing a game of dominoes while enjoying crispy tostones, hot sauce, and a cold beer? A game of chess while sipping a mellow Argentine or Chilean wine? What about a Mallorca pastry and cafe con leche while playing checkers?

It’s all happening at Papi’s Place, a Latin American Eatery, scheduled to open mid February 2011 at the PlazAmericas Mall in Houston. With over 100 stores PlazAmericas is a family-friendly Houston shopping mall, answering the needs of the community and welcoming everyone for fun, entertainment, and shopping. PlazAmericas provides free weekend entertainment on the second level of the mall in the Food Court. PlazAmericas has a new Mayan themed play area which is conveniently located so parents can dine at the many new eateries, relax, and listen to the pleasing sounds of music while children enjoy the giant play area. PlazAmericas also hosts seasonal and cultural special events regularly as a major attraction within the community. Visit the PlazAmericas website at www.PlazAmericas.com for more information.

Hollywood Stars Enjoy Swag Bag Heaven at 2010 Golden Globe Awards

Award trophies are nice, but what do big name movie stars like Kate Winslet, Matt Damon, Penélope Cruz and Hollywood party-goers really crave besides a little extra attention?

How about those swanky loot bags loaded up with ultra-premium goodies handed out at different venues held before the 67th Golden Globe ceremonies happening this Sunday in Beverly Hills, California.

This year a number of Canadians representing a variety of premium lifestyle products will be on hand to showcase their wares during ceremonies leading to the Awards night, including a reception sponsored by the Canadian Consulate.

One of the trophy products included in the swag bag extravaganza is riceworks®, the Gourmet Brown Rice Crisp from Vancouver-based Snack Alliance Inc. The riceworks® snack is one of the carefully chosen premium Canadian products tucked away in the posh swag bags that award winners, nominees and select party-goers receive when they drop by the Oh Canada gift lounge at the Beverly Hills Peninsula Hotel prior to the Sunday show.

“Everybody loves the swag bag hoopla, and it’s a fabulous way to showcase our gourmet products,” says Tricia Ryan, Director of Marketing for riceworks®, and leading promoter for the brand. “We’re joining other premium products like Heather Stewart’s famous Lilyfield Cakes and Jamie Macfarlane’s Northern Ice Vidal Icewine as prime examples of what Canada brings to the world’s table. We’re in good company.”

A Perfect “Oh Canada” Launch Party
A number of nominated Canadian actors and film directors including Christopher Plummer and Jason Reitman have been invited to attend the Canadian Consulate sponsored event where riceworks® will be touted and tasted.

For Ms. Ryan, the chance to meet and schmooze some big names affords her the opportunity to also promote “Show Us Your Goodness,” a riceworks®-sponsored social campaign that invites consumers to nominate and vote online for the charitable program they believe has gone the extra mile to “serve the greater good.” “Not only will we have a chance to show off our products, we’ll have a chance to spread the good word for our charity program,” says Ms. Ryan.
