The biggest news for Platter Pushers this week is the closing of Crespella Cafe. Apparently there is a sign on their door saying they will not be reopening... ever. Lisa sent an email to Jess to let her know that they would not be in business and are no longer going to be a part of our show. The next move we're looking to pursue is creating our own breakfast competition at State Street Diner.

The Kickstarter account has a graphic and a video, but setting up a business account with Amazon to receive any donations has proved to take longer than expected. Chrissy is working to set up the bank account and then we're ready to launch!

Over the weekend the group went out to take advantage of the weather to get exterior shots of our restaurants as well as footage from around Ithaca to use as b-roll. This upcoming weekend, we will have our first shoot. We will be shooting at Rogan's from 8am-11am on Sunday. They are creating a special food challenge item for us and I'm excited to see what their pizza size Bomber calzone will look like. Also, we're waiting on confirmation from Purity to shoot that competition on Saturday morning before noon. Our eaters and host are ready for both days. We have some of our crew working on getting our scripts together for this weekend with our host, Sean, meeting with them as well to add his own quirky sense of humor and one liners.

Our equipment is reserved and we're ready to roll!
