From fine dining to hidden food spots, I share reviews, culinary experiences, and the flavors that make each meal unforgettable.

FoodHey there, I’m Keith Parnell, and I’m here to help restaurant owners like you grow with digital marketing that actually makes sense. Based in Virginia, I’ve spent over 30 years working with small businesses, focusing on how to make digital strategies easy and effective. Whether it’s boosting your online presence or using data to bring more customers through your doors, I’m all about making sure your restaurant stands out in a crowded market.
But I don’t stop at marketing – visuals are key in this industry. That’s why I create high-end food and travel photography to make sure your menu looks just as delicious online as it does in person. From mouthwatering shots of your dishes to capturing the perfect ambiance of your restaurant, I know how to make your food pop on social media, your website, or anywhere else you’re showing it off.
When you work with me, you’re not just getting a marketing consultant – you’re getting someone who understands the hospitality industry inside and out. I’ll help you create unforgettable customer experiences, streamline your operations with tech, and give you the tools you need to succeed. Let’s make your restaurant the place everyone’s talking about!
