You Can EatLafayette All Year Long!

Now that the official 2011 EatLafayette campaign is over, we're sure you're thinking, "Now what?"

We understand and we have have some advice: you should stay tuned to our newsletter, Facebook, Twitter, and Foursquare pages. Our 57 participating restaurants are still open and happy to serve you. They still have specials and events that we'll tell you about. You won't be out of the loop - don't worry!

As for that cruise we gave away - the winner has been notified and he was very happy to win. We pulled for the winner live on 99.9 KTDY with CJ and Debbie Ray and had a super-fantastic time with them at Townsquare Media. Thank you to everyone who entered. Please try again next year - it could be you who gets that happy phone call!

Thanks for an amazing EatLafayette campaign!

The past two months have been a dream come true. The official 2011 EatLafayette campaign began on June 20 and we have been letting the good times roll since. In the celebration of our 57 participating locally-owned restaurants, we had a packed kick-off party, ate some delicious food, made new friends, and followed a 12-foot-tall hot sauce bottle around town for deals.

We are so grateful to all of our sponsors. Without them, our ideas would have never come to fruition. Our sponsors are: The NEW Fly Lafayette Club, Lafayette Conventions and Visitors Commission, Atmos Energy, AT&T, Cox, KADN FOX 15, My KLAF TV, KLFY TV 10, Louisiana Gold Pepper Sauce & Bruce Foods, The Independent Weekly, and Travel Machine.

We at EatLafayette would like to yell from the rooftops how thankful we are for another certain group of people. Who are these wonderful people, you ask? It's YOU! Without you, there would be no readers for our newsletters, no visitors to our website, no fans on Facebook and no followers on Twitter, no mouths to feed and nobody to celebrate with. It's because of you that these restaurants stay open and because of all of us that they become a part of our culture. Thank you so much for celebrating with us!

Don't get all teary-eyed, now. We're sad the official 2011 campaign is over, too, but we still have a couple things up our sleeves!
