Jenn and Don Chow from foodiePrints make their first appearance on Lunch Out Loud Ottawa. They will be making regular appearances on the show talking about all things Ottawa food. Like us, they have a passion for what they do. They run a food blog and do not look for sponsorship or free meals. As you know, I love people with a passion, they exemplify this. This week they talk about the NoodleFest going on at the Ottawa Convention the upcoming weekend.
