Tourism Richmond names 12 Richmond Foodie Blogger finalists
Tourism Richmond has named the 12 finalists for its 365 Days of Dining campaign.
In February, Tourism Richmond put out the call for a food blogger who would be willing to eat at one Richmond restaurant a day for an entire year. The job pays $50,000.
“The response we’ve had from the 12 finalists so far has been incredibly positive and enthusiastic. Some of them were even left speechless when we called to inform them that they were on the shortlist…something they said doesn’t happen very often!” Tracy Lakeman, chief executive officer of Tourism Richmond, said in a press release.
“This campaign and the Richmond Foodie Blogger job have resonated across a wide and varied audience, garnering international attention for our destination. We are eager to select our blogger and have them reveal to the world the amazing culture and cuisine that Richmond has to offer.”
The finalists are:
