Thanks for the assignment! Before I dive in, I need your specific topic so I can research the latest info and cite official sources. A few quick questions to get us aligned:
- Topic and angle
- What’s the exact topic? (e.g., a new restaurant opening, a seasonal menu update, a chef profile, a brewery release, a coffee shop feature, or an event preview)
- If it’s a specific business, what’s the name and location?
- What angle do you prefer? (opening/closure news, menu highlights, review-style impressions, owner/chef profile, or community impact)
- Timeframe
- How current should this be? (e.g., openings/updates from the last 2–8 weeks)
- Audience and tone
- Who is the main audience? (families, college crowd, date-night diners, budget-friendly, dietary-specific)
- Tone preference? (upbeat and breezy, thorough and practical, feature-style storytelling)
- Must-have details
- Any specific info to include? (prices, top menu items, kids’ options, gluten-free/vegan notes, accessibility, parking)
- Any quotes or contacts I should prioritize?
- Helpful links for verification
- Please share any official sources I should check: websites, Facebook pages, Instagram posts, press releases, or event pages. I’ll cross-reference details for accuracy and cite them in the article.
