From her social media platform to her business acumen, Bethenny Frankel is always willing to take a stand. Her fearlessness to embrace her opinion and to share it with others is a trait that many people want to emulate. With summer entertaining in full effect, the successful business woman serves some flavorful advice in partnership with Heluva Good! Dips. Party hosts will want to uncover this tasty secret.
Bethenny Frankel has a long list of attributes after her name. Self-made entrepreneur, podcast host, bestselling author, and influencer are just a few of the many titles that she holds. Anyone who has seen her rise appreciates that she knows how to infuse herself into a “moment.”
While she is a fabulous party host, Frankel revealed a curious fact during our recent interview through her partnership with Heluva Good! Dips. She mentioned that she prefers to step back and observe during those festive gatherings.
When asked about how she approaches being a party host, Frankel said, “I’m terrible because I’m not a very social creature, which is surprising to people. As a host, I try to focus on an activity because I do not always love small talk.”
That opportunity to give a party host a moment to step away from the party chaos fits in perfectly with the “Hosts’ Hidden Heluva Good!” promotion. Frankel explained, “I’m most comfortable in the corner.” This special planter that gives the party host a reprieve from the conversation and allows them to nosh on their favorite dip.
One of the reasons why people turn to Heluva Good! Dips is the flavor versatility. Frankel appreciates that concept. From utilizing seasonal, fresh ingredients alongside a dip to allowing guests to mix and match their flavor pairings, the process does not have to be overwhelming for the party host.
Giving people the opportunity to taste their own personal creations is a concept celebrated on social media. As Frankel explained, “people take such pride in creating their own food shows. It is inspiring. During the beginning of the pandemic, people thought that I was crazy putting cottage cheese on a bagel.” But, people watched, tried that concept, and made it their own.
Now people are excited to share their favorite foods, combinations, and other finds with everyone. Whether it is Frankel’s Supermodel snacks series on her socials to hidden gems waiting to be discovered, more people are willing to put their creativity on display.
Heluva Good! Dips embraces that idea. Whether a party host offering a simple crudité bar with multiple dips, a sandwich bar, or maybe even a baked potato station, no one wants to be forced into a flavor corner. As Frankel commented, “creative people are loving one upping each other with creativity.”
One interesting idea that came out of our interview was creating a high/low version of a similar snack. After asking what food is a staple at all her parties, she mentioned her Mingle Mocktails and caviar. For people who have a larger party budget, this high/low concept would be the talk of the event.
Frankel suggested using Heluva Good! French Onion on a simple chip with a little caviar. The flavor would mimic some classic caviar accoutrements, like a touch of onion, capers, and crème fraiche. It is similar to the Pringles and caviar concept that many people adapted.
For a less costly option, Frankel suggested swapping the caviar for an olive tapenade. The slightly salty olive references the briny caviar in both flavor and color. It is a great way to get people talking at a party.
What was my biggest takeaway from Bethenny Frankel’s approach to being a party host? Create an ambiance, be creative, and allow yourself to take a moment of respite as the party host. The Hosts’ Hidden Heluva Good! is just what anyone needs to survive the summer.
