Menu For Hope: We Have a Winner!

The winners for Menu For Hope are in at Chez Pim and (for the East Coast prizes) at Serious Eats! 

Here at A Finger In Every Pie, we're happy to announce that Leila Violano is the winner of dinner for four at NYC's justifiably famous Union Square Cafe.

Congratulations, Leila!  Please email me and I will ship off your gift card to you posthaste. 

And for everyone else, thanks so very much for participating in this totally enjoyable fundraising effort.  Menu For Hope raised $91,188 for the UN World Food Programme, earmarked for school lunches in Lesotho, to be provided by local farmers.  So don't feel bad if you didn't get a prize.  I didn't, either, although I took chances on about 10 different swell things that were offered.  But this effort enabled us all to make substantial contributions to a great cause.  The people of Lesotho are the true winners, thanks to you.
