A: Bubble Tea and Fried Chicken

Q: What is your role/title at the Association?
A: Digital Marketing Intern

Q: What type of work are you doing in your daily internship tasks?
A: My work focuses on search engine optimization (SEO) and the optimization work in our email marketing system.

Q: What do you think personally will be the short- to the medium-term impact of the pandemic on food and beverage tourism?
A: I believe that the COVID-19 pandemic will, in the short-term, cause the food and beverage tourism industry to take a large hit. However, I know that the industry will bounce back in the long-term, equipped with new innovations that will make companies pandemic-resistant. Consumers will return to explore the unique culinary cultures of the world.

In this episode number 72 of the Taste of Place podcast, we speak with Audrey Kelly. Audrey is the co-owner and head pizza maker at Audrey Jane’s Pizza Garage in Boulder, Colorado in the USA, which she runs with her brother, Peter. After studying pizza-making under Tony Gemignani, she opened her restaurant, and achieved quick success, with the restaurant having been been featured on the Food Network; the Travel Channel; and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Audrey won first place in the Pizza in Teglia competition in Naples, Italy, and has been featured in the New York Times and NPR. As a mother of twin boys, she balances family life with expanding her business, including plans for a second location. Audrey also grew up in a family of bakers, so she knows a thing or two about making dough!
