We've got another Local Dish standings update! While Chicago still leads, Santa Barbara has made the biggest gain with about 50 percent more entries than last week. The contest ends in a little more than three weeks—it's still anyone's game.
A Local Dish refresher: order a "Taste America Local Dish" at one of the contest's participating restaurants, snap it on your phone and upload it to Instagram, tagging your image with #JBFTasteAmerica and the suggested hashtag for your city. After the promotion ends on October 31, the city with the most uploads will receive $10,000 or 10 percent of funds raised nationally, whichever amount is higher, in the form of a donation to a local food charity.
We'll continue posting updated standings every week until the fundraiser ends.
