Roadster diner was featred on the poplar TV show Balance on

n episode to ivin viewers tips on enjoyin a wide rane of itemseven from otside the low-cal men) from Roadster diner, and losinweiht throhot. By followin simple rles, people are able to keep balanced diet, all the while enjoyin their favorite Rd food.
Losing Weight with Rd Blogger Interviewgino is an AuB stdent stdyin Bioloy
and Psycholoy. His blo bean as an extracredit assinment for a creative writincorse, bt qickly ballooned into the o-todestination for comprehensive reviews of all
thins entertainment-related. From clbsand pbs, to phones and restarants, ginohas lanched several series on the blo thathave since picked p sch as the Lebanese
version of Fail, Fashal, Polls of the Week, TheWeekly Leaks and The Blacklist.
Which is your favorite branch?Definitely Jal el Dib, been oin there since I was a child
Which is your favorite item?
Roadster's honey mstard! Bt if yo mean an item on the men,then I'd o with the Liht grilled Chicken
Favorite Rd memory?
They're plenty, bt meetin Eller van Bren and Baa Bownz isdefinitely on the top of that list
How important do you think social media can be for a company?
What impacts can it have?
I don't think it's important, I think it's absoltely essential. I meanlet's face it, when yo goole a company, the search reslt yo're
really lookin for is their Facebook pae or Twitter accont, riht? Acompany that interacts with its cstomers and potential cstomersonline is a mst in today's massively connected world. And to beperfectly honest, an establishment with a respectable presence on
social networks ets a lot of extra points in my book
How did your blog come to be?Well, it started ot as an assinment for extra credit in an EnlishCreative Writin Corse at AuB. I qickly fell in love with it thoh
and between yo and me, ot hih on the hits. A few days later, Iboht my own domain name and now I'm at over 620 posts!
When was it launched?
Janary 1, 2010
How many hits per day?Well, it's averain 30000-35000 hits per month and is almost at a
qarter million all-time views
Who is your audience?Mostly Lebanese, followed closely by Americans and other Arabs.Makes interaction with my readers all the more relevant and enjoyable.
They also tend to be yon adlts, the kind of people interested inclbbin and oin ot very freqently
What are the sections on your blog?The most poplar sections on the blo are The Weekly Leaks I leak information abot soon-to-be venes, events, etc.), Poll
Week, The Blacklist (where individals or companies who mtheir cstomers end p) and Fashal (a Lebanese version photos). Those are in addition to my restarant and clb revcorse.
Are you also active on Twitter and Facebook?
www.twitter.com/ginoRaidy and www.facebook.com/ginosBlo
What is the purpose of the blog?
Nothin. Nothin in the sense that I didn't start it with a cdirection in mind. I write abot anythin I find interestin and of sheddin some liht on. The most rewardin are probably mand restarant reviews in which I try to convey the actal expe
not jst the eneric information yo can et off their website.
What are your future goals?Expand, expand, expand! The hits have been on an pward r
20 months now, and I plan on keepin everyone satisfied withcomprehensive reviews, exclsive leaks, fnny fail photos whistle-blowin policy where people and oranizations at fadefamed on my blo for everyone to see.
What is your opinion on Rd's social media presence?
Love it. It's enine and personal and takes the time to respevery sinle cstomer on both Facebook and Twitter. I also lofact yo're pioneerin the bsiness scene on Forsqare, sett
example for other Lebanese restarants and addin even moredinin at Rd as yo inch closer to clinchin a forsqare mayand ths yor free meal for two! (I'm aimin for the ABC Dmayorship by the way)
