Congratulations, Thea Dwelle!
You won the combined In Praise of Sardines/Vinography Menu for Hope prize (UW14) this year: dinner for 6 at Contigo with wine pairings by Alder Yarrow! Please contact me so that I can send you your gift certificate.
Alder and I are so very proud and humbled that our prize helped to inspire our readers to purchase so many raffle tickets for Menu for Hope's 2008 fundraiser. I lost count after the number tickets for our prize exceeded 200. As a community, we food bloggers, restaurateurs, and our readers, fans, and friends raised over $60,000 for the UN World Food Programme. What an amazing feat, especially in these challenging economic times. The school children of Lesotho thank and applaud you all!
I'm almost ready to answer the question I'm asked several times a day: when will Contigo open? This week's big news is that we have started hiring! Contigo's fantastic new General Manager starts Monday. Our first order of business is to set an opening date and time table. Stay tuned for details.
A GM! Huge news!
