Media Connect produced a radio tour for Trap Kitchen: Bangin’ Recipes from Compton. Chefs and co-authors Malachi Jenkins and Roberto Smith discussed their inspiring story, cookbook, Los Angeles restaurant/catering business and their just launched food truck in Portland, OR. Interviews included KCRW-FM’s “Good Food” (Los Angeles, CA’s NPR station), “Food and Wine with Chef Jamie Gwen” (nationally syndicated to 46 local AM/FM stations), KFI-AM’s “Fork Report” (#1 Talk in Los Angeles, CA), KOA-AM (#1 Talk in Denver, CO), WGN-AM (#1 News/Talk in Chicago, IL), KGO-AM (#2 News/Talk in San Francisco, CA), and Shade 45’s “The Lord Sear Special” (Sirius XM).
TESTIMONIALS
MediaConnect was instrumental in helping me build my personal brand alongside raising awareness for the book. In addition getting quality reviews and feature pieces about my book, they also helped place several bylined articles in great publications, including Bloomberg BusinessWeek and Fast Company, that helped establish me as a thought leader.
