Paul's Restaurant & The Elbow Room
Paul’s Restaurant and The Elbow Room in Vancouver, Washington, are a connected restaurant and bar reimagined by longtime On the Rox Media clients, chef/owners Monique King and Paul Rosenbluh, together with James Beard Award-winning bartender Toby Maloney. Paul’s serves elevated Pacific Northwest comfort food, while The Elbow Room pairs its old-school neighborhood-bar soul with Maloney’s inventive approach to craft cocktails. In 2026, The Elbow Room was named as a 2026 James Beard Award semifinalist for Best New Bar.
K Bloody Mary Mix
Handcrafted in Brooklyn by founder and creator Khia Nelson, K Bloody Mary Mix is a Black woman-owned BIPOC brand producing a small-batch, organic, vegan and gluten-free mix known for its rich, savory flavor and distinctive texture. In 2026, K expanded its line with Deep Heat, a warmer version of the original featuring an extra spice blend that delivers warming heat without overpowering its signature flavor. K Bloody Mary Mix is a two-time Good Food Award winner in the Elixir category, taking home the honor in 2026 and 2020, and has also been named a Good Food Award finalist twice.
I’ve worked with K since 2019, providing PR, brand communications, copywriting and marketing initiatives designed to build awareness and support the brand’s continued growth. I also produce K’s monthly Into the Mix e-newsletter, developing content around brand news, events, and its founder. Highlights of my PR initiatives include securing coverage in Chilled Magazine and Edible Manhattan, as well as orchestrating a guest appearance for founder Khia Nelson on Brunching It with Heather B, and SiriusXM's Sway in the Morning.
Cindy's, Little Beast, Fox's
LOS ANGELES
I’ve worked with chef/owners (and husband and wife) Paul Rosenbluh and Monique King since 2002, beginning with their former South Pasadena restaurant, Firefly Bistro, which I represented for five years. Years later, they reached out to me again for PR, marketing and social media support for their restaurants, including Cindy’s, and Little Beast in Eagle Rock and Fox’s Restaurant* in Altadena.
Over the years, I’ve helped build awareness for their restaurants and their brand through extensive, targeted media outreach, storytelling, social media and other marketing initiatives. I continue to work with Paul and Mo on select projects as needed.
*Sadly, Fox's burned to the ground in the Eaton Canyon Fire in 2025 with rebuilding plans TBD.
