It’s no secret that the biggest draws of this month’s Chefs & Champagne® New York will be tastings from more than 35 chefs, the constant popping of bottles of bubbly, and the picturesque setting of Wölffer Estate, our gracious hosts. Best of all, the good times will benefit the James Beard Foundation and our educational initiatives.
Even if you won’t be joining us in Sagaponack this year, there’s still a way to offer your support. As you may have already heard, our Chefs & Champagne honoree is the inimitable Andrew Zimmern, who’s fresh off of a 2013 Beard Award win for Outstanding Personality/Host. The Bizarre Foods star has partnered with eyebobs, a reading glasses company specializing in eyewear "for the irreverent and slightly jaded." Eyebobs and Andrew have created the quirky “Zimm” frames, which you can order here. (A portion of every purchase goes to JBF.) What’s more, the company is also generously giving away a $100 gift certificate to one of our fans. Here’s how you can enter:
1. Make sure you’re following @beardfoundation on Twitter if you’re not already.
2. Tweet the bolded text from your Twitter account: I'm tweeting for a chance to win an @eyebobs gift certificate from @beardfoundation! http://www.jamesbeard.org/blog/giveaway-eyebobs-gift-certificate #JBFChefsandChampagne (Make sure to include the hashtag!)
-or-
Simply retweet the above message after someone else on Twitter tweets it.
We'll randomly select a winner of the gift certificate. The entry period ends at 5:00 EST on Friday, July 12. Good luck!
