For the past six weeks, we’ve been running a promotion with our friends at T-Fal to celebrate realfoodtraveler.com’s our 5th birthday and our recent complete re-design. To mark the occasion, we launched the RFT Facebook page and invited you to like us and, hopefully, comment on what you think of our re-do. The prize was a fabulous T-Fal Opti- Grill (value $250). We really love this multipurpose indoor counter-top grill (see our review) and we know you will too.

Many of you responded to this promotion (thank you). So many, in fact, that we simply put everyone’s name in a basket. RFT Editor Anne Weaver drew the winner this morning.

And the winner is….drum roll please: Pat Dudley of West Linn, Oregon. T-Fal will be sending Pat one of their Opti-Grills. We hope you enjoy it.

Congratulations, Pat, and thanks to all of you for joining us on Facebook.

In the future, we’ll be running more promotions for free cookbooks and other food- and travel-related items. Stay tuned and please invites your friends and family to join us here at realfoodtraveler.com, on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. Cheers!  – Bobbie Hasselbring, RFT Editor
