I like to team-up with the local food vendors, makers, promoters, etc in Asheville to do fun contests in which the readers have a chance to win free food. Because I know how much everyone loves free food. Right? Seriously. Free food is the best thing ever! So, here’s the latest contest…

3 Food Fans Won a Free AIR Passport!

Katie Alexander
“All regions of Asia for all of the noodles, saucy spicy yummy bowls, all of the dumplings, all of the street food.”
Beverly Brignolo
“Hong Kong for Dim Sum on Sunday morning with my Chinese family.”
Lora Lanier
“I hope this can involve time travel, because I would go to my grandmother’s house in East Texas and she would make her famous chocolate roll. It was her own invention, a pastry dough rolled in Cocoa, sugar and butter and baked in milk, and we haven’t adequately reproduced it yet!”

Congrats to our three winners, who were selected via random number generator!
