Big Burrito Email List – If you like food, restaurants, cooking or learning more about a Pittsburgh business – we suggest that you sign up for the Big Burrito Mailing List – they do a really nice job with the updates each month and it is nice to read more about how their restaurants come together, where the food comes from and what non profits they are working to support each month.
If you are a business owner this is a great example of how you can use email to tell your story to your customers and potential customers too.

And each email comes with a story and some seasonal recipes from the Big Burrito corporate chef.
