When one walks into the sunlit, cheerful Beet’s Cafe - boasting of “amazingly good” raw and vegan food - they are often greeted by a cheerful woman with curly brown hair. Many don’t realize that the woman serving them is the cafe’s owner, Sylvia Heisey. Sylvia is so well-suited to the restaurant industry that is hard to believe she was a businesswoman in the corporate sector only a few years ago. After traveling all to much for work, Heisey decided she was done. The traveling was so exhausting that she was forced to quit her job to take care of herself. It was during this healing process that Heisey discovered the raw food diet. “The aches and pains in my knees went away, my allergies went away, I lost weight- those 10 pound I could never lose- I was able to sleep at night, my skin cleared.. there’s just so many different benefits!” she said.Upon realizing the miracles that this diet could work, she knew she just had to share it with the Austin community. Flash forward a couple of years and we can see the result: Beet’s Living Foods Cafe.

Hehe: I really like your lead; I like how it describes Sylvia's past and the beginning of the restaurant, all the while expanding on what kind of person she is and why she might have started the business. Good incorporation of a quote too. :D
ReplyDeleteGood lead i'd want to read more but if she actually owns it you might be giving off a little to much information in the beginning... -Hardstyleforlife21
ReplyDeleteThere is no clear nut graph, you should change the first "woman" to "women", your story does not flow very well, try combining some sentences and smooth it out with better transitions, and I also feel like that is all the story you have, I read this and say cool..... so, and move on already knowing everything you have to say
ReplyDeleteThis is a great lead, my only sugestion would be to not use cheerful to describe both the cafe and the owner, otherwise, good job :)

You have pretty much told me the entire story like a summary and now i know everything so there is know need to read more of your story. You should only tell a little about her so i want to read more. Also its not clear what type of lead you have.
