We Have a Steak Winner!
OK – you guys made this waaaaaay too hard! I couldn’t pick a winner myself because there were so many good entries to pick from. For a week I’ve been circulating your comments around the Canadian Living office for entertainment purposes and everyone here has a favourite. Hope you all had as much fun writing in as we did reading your responses, because unfortunately only one of you can dine out on steak.
Although the brazen Tim’s-totting Meaghan was definitely in the running (comment#7). And Sara’s well thought out broadcast marketing stragtegy (comment #49) as well Jeannine’s offer to go dancing Friday night (comment #20) both made the short list. It was the relentless and hilarious comments of one Foodie-file reader that garnered the most attention.
And so without further ado, the winner of the Ruth’s Chris Steak dinner for two is
Lorne. Congratulations Lorne, hope you and your wife enjoy the dinner and let me know if you have any single fun guy friends!
I’ve emailed Lorne to advise him of his win but haven’t heard back from him. Lorne, if you are reading this now, check your email and contact me and I will set you up with the gift certificate.
Thanks to all who participated with their sage words of dating wisdom. Tomorrow I pick a grilled cheese winner (that one might be harder than this one to choose) and I’m still giving away Green and Black’s chocolate fondue sets to four more Foodie-file subscribers!
Congrats, Lorne! As for you, Christine, from the number of responses you received to this contest, I think maybe you should be writing the “Advise to the Lovelorn” blog. Hey, wait a minute…maybe that is a column that has Lorne’s name written all over it!
Hi Christine and all. Thanks for my selection. I had fun with it too. I didn’t provide my best scene to find a new date though; I will save that for another occasion unless any of you really want to know.
But, I did not receive a seperate e-mail from you. My e-mail address is lornecraig@yahoo.ca.
Yes, Angela, I would love to do something like that, I do have some experience.
Lorne – I’ve sent you a new email, please let me know you have recieved it – I don’t want your wife to be disappointed!
How come your holiding out on me with your best dating idea? I’ve completely exposed my intimate, private life to thousands of strangers and you can’t even let me in on your best dating idea?!
Angela – your right. The comments would make a great article.
