These are just a few of the comments Bonnie Boots has received from publishers, editors and interview subjects that have been happy to work with her.

Susan Edwards, Editor, Weekly Planet newspapers:
Bonnie Boots is a talented writer who takes her work very seriously. Quality is very important to Bonnie, and she's willing to work hard to achieve it. She has a strong work ethic and sense of professionalism. She is one of very few writers I have ever worked with regularly who has never missed a deadline, even in times of illness and family crises.

She is an independent thinker and worker who does not require a great deal of direction and handholding to get the job done. Despite her obvious talent as a writer, she is not temperamental. She is creative in her writing and work style, which translates to being flexible when the situation calls for it. She has always exhibited a strong sense of personal integrity. Bonnie would be a great asset to anyone fortunate enough to work with her. I'm pleased to recommend her.
 

Ronda Parag, Publisher, Tampa Bay Metro magazine:
Bonnie, another great article and way ahead of deadline. You're a publisher's dream!
 

Liza and Stelvio Paccini, owners, Caffe Firenze:
Many thanks for your wonderful article about our business. You looked right into our hearts and said just what we would have said if we could write. Your words made us so proud. Grazi! Grazi!

Joe Chouinard, chef/owner, Pacific Wave:
"I have been reviewed by some of the biggest newspapers in the country, including the New York Times, but I've never had as thoughtful a critique as the one you gave me. You praised our strengths, and put your finger exactly on our weak spots. Because of your review, we are rewriting our entire menu to focus on what we do best. It would have cost me thousands of dollars to hire a business consultant to tell me exactly what you told me in one review. I can never thank you enough."

Javier and Tina Marie Avila, owners of Casa Tina:
"We can't thank you enough for the wonderful review you gave our restaurant. We'd previously been written up in Tampa Bay magazine and saw very little new business. After your review came out, we were swamped, both with new business, and old customers who hadn't been in for a while. Readers really respect your opinion. We heard the same comment over and over-"When Bonnie Boots says she likes a place, we try it, because we know she really likes it!" They know you're not like those other publications that just hand out good reviews to everybody. We will strive to live up to your gracious words. Thanks again, from the bottom of our hearts."

Brian Wellman, owner, and John Shields, chef, Grand Finale:
"This note is a long overdue thank you for the support you have shown us. Since we opened, you have mentioned us in your column three times, and each time we have experienced a real upsurge in our business. People know you set high standards, so any mention from you has an immediate impact. Thank you for recognizing, and supporting, what we are working to bring to our corner of St. Petersburg. We will strive to always be worthy of your good opinion."

Pete Veytia, owner, Red Mesa:
"The last time you mentioned Red Mesa, you challenged us to "push the envelope." Well, it took us a little while to get there, but now we are doing it, featuring a monthly menu from different regions of Mexico, and it's working really well. You were certainly on the right track! Thanks!



Ralph Sitero, executive chef, The Ashley Street Grille:
"Last year this dinner was a wash out.. but, (thanks to you!) this year we packed
them in. Sold out each seating. I sat back exhausted at the end of the
night and lifted a glass of Veuve Clicquot "La Grand Dame" to you! (the
occasion was fitting) Tampa Bay is blessed to have someone like you, with both taste and talent, setting high standards and helping to educate the public about the value of dining well, instead of just eating in chains.
