"Marissa's writing is fresh and compelling. This is especially important in an interactive medium where it's often difficult to capture and hold a reader's attention. Marissa is one of those rare individuals who clearly has passion for her work and the topics she writes about; her outstanding contributions have always been anticipated by our site subscribers."

--David Smania, Founder & Editor, Foodservice.com

"We were on a very tight deadline and asked Marissa to write a "Question and Answer" type of article for our press kit. In a matter of 3 days, Marissa found out the nature of the information we were looking for, scheduled and conducted the interview and presented her work. We included it not only in all press kits we sent out, but put it on the front of our website."

-- Brad Birnberg, COO and President of Joey's Only USA, COO of Embers America Restaurants

"Marissa Kristal is an editor's dream--thoughtful, hard-working, and never misses a deadline. Her pieces are lively, well-researched, and a pleasure to read, and her queries are always spot-on. Kudos!"

--Jennifer Riley, senior editor, Beauty Addict
