Happiest of Birthday Wishes to you!
I met Don through Sunday Supper and Food Wine Conference. Idaho Potato and Spuddy Buddy soon became a big part of my foodie side of life.
Don and Idaho Potato are huge supporters of food bloggers.
As a sponsor of Food Wine Conference, Don partnered with us in yearly cooking contests.
He brought us Big Red from the Idaho Tour.
Who can forget the fun green screen videos for Dancing Potato Heads! I still laugh when I play mine!
