Voting Is Open for The Gulf Oyster Industry Council's Taste America Guest Blogger Contest!

was recently invited to take part in an exciting contest, so I wanted to share the details with y’all today...and ask for your help. The Gulf Oyster Industry Council (GOIC) is sponsoring ONE lucky food blogger to serve as its James Beard Foundation’s Taste America Guest Blogger. The winning blogger will receive an expenses-paid trip to serve as guest blogger for a fun-filled Taste America culinary-focused weekend in one of eight great cities across the country:
  • New York
  • Boston
  • Philadelphia
  • Washington, DC
  • Miami
  • Chicago
  • Las Vegas 
  • Phoenix
The winner will attend the James Beard Foundation's Taste America events in the city of their choice. The weekend includes a gala food celebration and live cooking demonstrations by renowned chefs. This opportunity is perfect for Michael and I, because culinary travel is something specializes in. We REALLY want to win this contest…and YOU can help us make it happen! The contest is based on votes, so I’m going to do something I’ve never done before: ask (ahem…beg) for your support. I feel like I’m running for Alvin High School Class of ‘83 President…and the entire voting scenario makes me feel a bit like a nerd trying to hang with the cool kids.

However, I truly believe that we’re an ideal fit for this contest, and we'd do a great job for the GOIC. So...I'm asking for your help. If you enjoy our culinary travelogues andwould like to see us visit one of the cities above to share their culinary highlights with you, then show us some love. Voting is very easy via Facebook. There are a few simple steps, which take all of 30 seconds…but it would mean a lifetime of culinary memories for . Here’s how to vote for us:
  1. Click on this Facebook link.
  2. Like Gulf Oyster Industry Council when prompted.
  3. Vote for by entering your e-mail address [NOTE: This does NOT sign you up for promotional e-mails. It's to ensure that each person only votes once].
  4. Feel good knowing that you've helped move one step closer to winning!
Voting lasts until Labor Day (September 2nd) and is open to any Facebook user. After you vote, please feel free to share the voting link via your social media avenues as well. If everyone reading this article takes 30 seconds to vote for us? We’ll win this contest in a landslide! 

To sweeten the pot, I have a fun incentive to share with my readers. Anyone who votes for and leaves me a comment below letting me know will be entered in a giveaway featuring signature food items from the city we visit. It's just our way of saying thanks for your support! The giveaway could be H&H Bagels and Levain Bakery chocolate chip cookies from New York…or perhaps Garrett’s Popcorn from Chicago...or perhaps some other culinary surprise. But...we have to win the contest first. Thank you in advance for your support! 

Speaking of seafood, come back here tomorrow…I’ll be sharing a fabulous recipe for Pecan-Crusted Lemon Pepper Tilapia with Pico de Gallo Cream Sauce. It’s easy to make and bursting with the big flavors that I love.
