Back in
January when I enjoyed this lunch at Burnt
Truffle, I already knew that the team behind Sticky Walnut and ‘Burnt’ were
planning to open in Chorlton and that restaurant would be called Hispi.
I also knew that,
like Burnt, Hispi would be partially crowd funded through KickStarter.
My plan was to not post a blog about my visit until the KickStarter campaign
had kicked off – that way, I could help to get the word out and share more with
the people of Manchester of the type of excellence that Hispi will bring.
Each month,
my blog typically gets 20,000 to 50,000 views – many of these people looking
for somewhere decent to eat out in and around Manchester… if half these people,
pledge the price of a cup of coffee then we’ve
made it!
Mancs, if
you truly appreciate good food, my message is simple, back Hispi, make it a
reality!
Although,
act quickly because it seems I’m pretty much too late… within 24 hours of the video
going live, the pledges had started rolling in. At this point, meeting the target
has to be a question of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’…
For me,
backing the project and backing Burnt has made me feel part of it. Every time I
dine in Burnt, I think to myself, “I helped to make this happen.”
That feeling
alone if worth the money it costs to pledge and support. Be part of making
Manchester’s restaurant scene better here… Hispi KickStarter

January, back Hispi and you could be eating similar food in Manchester later
