The “Feinschmecker” Fb group in Windsor with native eating places is gaining followers

A local entrepreneur’s Facebook group for gourmets has started.

Windsor Food Spotters is the name – founder is Windsorite Shawn Rizk.

The social media platform gives local restaurants and eateries a higher profile online amid competition from the city’s larger franchises.

Risk makes a short video of a look behind the scenes at a local restaurant – with the owner and the preparation of his typical dishes. Risk uploads the videos to the Facebook group and YouTube.

Since the initiative started in February, the group has 4,000 members.

“All of these restaurants that I’m presenting – you can get in your car and go and eat there that same evening,” Rizk said. “It’s just the idea of ​​getting people into the restaurant and really showing them what they’re missing.” because they don’t want to take the time to stop and look. “

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the hospitality industry hard. We hope this video will help put the local food and restaurant industry in the spotlight and stimulate economic recovery for the sector.

Rizk is passionate about supporting business colleagues.

“I’ll bring them with me [the public] through the door without leaving the house – it’s that simple, ”said Rizk.

Interested citizens are encouraged to join the Facebook group and watch YouTube videos online.
