Destined

I entered to win a New York City Food Walking Tour with Zach Brooks of Midtown Lunch. With over 4,200 followers on Twitter, thousands of lunchers who read Midtown Lunch daily, 116 posts saying why you’re worthy of the prize, only 5 winners drawn, a 4.3% chance of winning, guess who got an email?

Congratulations, your comment was drawn at random from last week's Midtown Lunch contest. The Midtown Street Meat Walking Tour is this Saturday (October 24th) at Noon. We'll meet on 53rd Street and 6th Avenue, and from there we'll hit up 5 different carts. Food and drinks are all included, and you are allowed to bring a guest (although you will be sharing plates of food with your guest, so choose wisely!) It should be over by 2pm, and we'll finish up on 7th Ave. and 39th street (so wear comfortable shoes.)

This was my post: I want to win because I would love to try the “BEST” chicken and rice according to Zach the rockstar of Midtown. I’ve been honored to try Carnegie John’s to Freddy’s to Mustafa’s, and I believe that I have had the best chicken and rice. This tour could change my appetite and my mind about this wonderful street food.

Thank You food gods for picking me, I will appreciate this moment more than you know.
