Cheap Eats Toronto restaurant guide blog

Photojunkie spotlight on CheapEats' editor Alexa Clark

Have you ever wondered where this whole CheapEats concept came from? How it got started? Why was Ottawa our second city? Why there aren't more Scarborough restaurants in the book?  Where else are we going?

Well, Rannie over at Photojunkie.ca asked these questions and more when he interviewed me for the Spotlight section of Photojunkie.ca.

Alexa Clark serves up some Cheap Eats

If you leave a comment on Photojunkie.ca spilling your favourite CheapEat you might even win a copy.

You Might Still Be A Winner

Hi guys,

We are giving away 15 more copies of the book to randomly selected comments and recommendations received between October 4-January 31st.

"Why?" you might ask.

Well, due to getting completely side-railed and distracted by making sure all the details were fact-checked and the book got finished, I screwed up and didn't get the announcement of the weekly draw contest off the cheapeats toronto site in a timely fashion.  So I figured, if I told you you could win, you should be able to win! Decision made.

Keep an eye on your inbox - you will be notified via email TODAY if you won.

Past Winners - you should receive and email from me today too. If you didn't, please drop a comment below with your updated email address (you can hide it from the public view by entering an URL too, say your blog - or some other interesting site you like.)

Just One More Week

Hi guys,

just a quick reminder that the contest to win a copy of cheapeats toronto 2006 is coming to a close.  The last draw will be held on Tuesday October 4th. 

Since we have 3 winners from past weeks who have not gotten back in touch with us, we will also be drawing 3 new winners on Tuesday as well.  This draw will be done from all entries for the entire duration of the contest.

If you've already told us about all your favourite spots - why not take a second and check out our Toronto says... polls

Good luck and have fun.
