#lindseatsrichmond - IT'S ON!


I've probably been asked the question "what's your dream job?" a thousand times.  And my answer is always "getting paid to eat and write about it."  Then I slap my knee hard and share a good laugh with whoever asked me, because that's just crazy.  Until now.

It's true, my dream job has arrived; Tourism Richmond is seeking a food blogger up for the challenge of eating at 365 restaurants in 365 days, all in beautiful Richmond, B.C.  The successful applicant receives a generous salary, help with living expenses, their 365 meals, and a pass to the Richmond Oval to work it off!

With applications due by the end of March, I've launched a full-fledged campaign to get hired.  If you're up for it, I would really appreciate your support!  I'm asking people to send in photographs of themselves holding signs that say #lindseatsrichmond, with their location below and names too, if they wish.  Photos can be sent to lindsaylaurenanderson@gmail.com until the end of March.

If you're up for taking things even further, you can upload your photo to Facebook and/or Twitter (follow me at @lindsay_lauren) with the hashtag #lindseatsrichmond.  Soon the world will be asking "Who is this Lindsay girl, and how does she know SO MANY COOL PEOPLE?" and I'll say "I don't know, but I want to bake cookies for them all.  With extra chocolate.  And nuts.  The expensive ones."

Here are the photos - 277 from 6 continents, 29 countries, and 131 cities!  Thank you so much to everyone.  The response has been incredible.  Click here to see thumbnails of all 277 photos, courtesy of Frank Lee.

  2. Linds, what a collection! It's so hard to know which is my favourite, but I think it might be of that cute Colombian in front of the mountains of Bogota.

    1. That guy? He's some Big-Deal design award nominee, or something. Also heard he has a really beautiful chocolate-making fiancee. Yeah, he's ok.

  3. When does the contest end? When do they announce a winner?

    1. Applications are due at the end of March, then there's two rounds of interviews with 10 selected candidates, and then they choose the ONE! Not entirely sure what actual date that is, though.
