Lunch Week Contest: Who’s the Man on the Street?

Congratulations to Christina, new Miami resident, who won Miami Dish’s first ever contest! The prizes will be a nice “welcome to the neighborhood” package! I promised more than one contest, so here goes the next one:

Man on the Street is a Miami Dish column about finding a lunch that scrimps on cash but not on taste. However, I haven’t been able to keep up Man in the Street since I started it, so I need your help! Since this is Lunch Week and these are spendthrift times, this week’s contest is about finding a Man on the Street to tell us about the lunch place that makes your day. Don’t be misled by the title; this contest is open to all the women and men who work hard for their money.

Please submit your brief description of why your lunch place should be known to all. Where is it? What are your favorite dishes and about how much do they cost? How much does a full meal cost? Pictures are not required, but they are definitely encouraged. Send your submissions to trina@miamidish.net. If you’re shy about using your full name, it’s okay to just use your first name or a pseudonym.

The winner will get prizes and glory! The prize part is a generous free Wok Star class courtesy of Eleanor Hoh. If you aren’t familiar with her classes, check out my post or her website.  Here is a description:

Wok Star Cooking Class Gift Certificate ($65)
A perfect combination of socializing, entertaining and learning
Join Wok Star, Eleanor Hoh for an unforgettable class and learn 4 dishes with her no-recipe technique.  Her focus is simple, quick, healthy, “easy style”, weekday, 30-minute one-dish meals with little clean-up.

You’ll get tons of tips and information on ingredients and where to pick them up in Asian markets.   She’ll bust some myths about wok cooking like “just throw it all in the wok.” You’ll soon be able to make dinners with the whole family and enjoy eating together, using only a few fresh ingredients that will entice even the pickiest eaters to an exotic and scrumptious dinner.  Plus, you’ll save money and gas when you enjoy your home-cooked creations. You can now create those favorite Asian meals in your own home and it’s easier than you think.

Shrimp with Asparagus, Carrots, and Cashews

The glory will be getting your post up on the blog.

The contest ends Monday, September 8. (Ed. note: The contest is extended until the end of the month.) The winner will be announced the next day and their post will be up soon after. Unlike the last contest, this one is completely subjective! May the best woman or man win!
