About a month ago I was contacted about the “Favorite Chef” contest. The criteria was simple: love of cooking. The contest was open to food bloggers and Chefs and novice Chefs and foodies alike. It first caught my attention because the prize is a two page spread in Bon Appétit Magazine!
“Holy cow!” I thought to myself, “Wouldn’t THAT be the coolest EVER!” So, I entered. I had to answer a lot of questions, submit photos of myself and my work and then wait to see if I was accepted.
Poof. I was accepted but THEN?! I learned that there is MORE to the story. In addition to winning the photo spread, the winner gets $50,000.00! When the contest began that number was $20,000, but they have since increased it! (gulp!)
So the contest began on the 16th. It’s entirely based on people voting online for their favorites. To be honest, when this all started I thought I’d do well the first day but then there are so many talented Chefs competing, I would drop off into oblivion.
YOU ALL! I am currently in the number ONE spot in this contest! I have cried my eyes out so much over your support. I can’t even express properly how MUCH your willingness to vote and share has meant to me. -Even if I end up not winning, I have already won. (Sounds SO corny, but it’s true!)
That being said…please continue to vote daily! Everyone gets one free vote per day. I have figured out that this contest is about longevity. If my sweet people vote daily all the way through, I WILL win….and I will cry and cry and cry HAPPY tears.
Thank you isn’t enough. But here I am. Thank you!
If you haven’t voted today, please click through and do it. (Thank you in advance!) Also while you are there you can click on the word, “Group” to be taken to the list of my competitors. BUT FIRST please READ my story about how I got started and WHY I want to win.
Then after ALL of that if you are so inclined, you can click on the Facebook icon and share it to your social media pages. PLEASE!
