The 1st Annual Buffalo Eats Awesomesauce Giveaway!

We started Buffalo Eats over 3 years and we are long overdue at giving back to our readers.  This year has already started off better then we could have imagined and we think now is the best time to say Thank You!  Later this month we’ll be hitting our 500,000th view on the site, getting our 4,000th Twitter follower as well as (hopefully) 1400 ‘likes’ on Facebook.  Earlier this month we were nominated in Artvoice’s Best of 2012 awards (for Best Buffalo Blog) and Donnie was featured on a two week series on WGRZ where he talked about the best restaurants in Buffalo.  So in celebration of all we have accomplished, we want to give all of our fans and readers something special.  Luckily, some really awesome people graciously donated some incredible gifts for us to give away.  How do you win these prizes?  Here’s the rules…

Starting tomorrow Tuesday May 22nd (10:00 am) and ending Monday May 27th (11:59pm), we will be posting a daily giveaway tweet with a link to this contest page as well as a daily picture on our Facebook page.  To enter the contest, every time you re-tweet our tweet or “like” our Facebook picture, your name will be entered into a drawing to win one of our 3 amazing prize packages (see below).  To be clear, you can enter our giveaway contest up to two times a day (14 times total over 7 days) if you re-tweet our daily giveaway tweet and “like” our daily Facebook photo.  If you are not following us on Twitter or Facebook, now would be the time!

On May 30th (Donnie’s birthday), we will randomly pick three winners to receive our awesome prize packages. So the more your re-tweet our tweets and like our photos the more chances you will have to be a winner!

When we decided to have this contest, we contacted some of our favorite people and places in the area.  All of the restaurants featured are places we love to eat and highly recommend to all of our readers.  We are extremely grateful to everyone who donated prizes, without them we couldn’t have put this contest together.  The Buffalo food scene has developed into something really awesome and we are thrilled to be a part of it.  Thank You times a zillion to everyone!
