It's time for another Local Dish standings update! Chicago is still in the lead, but Santa Barbara has continued to make impressive gains. It's still anyone's game, folks.
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.
