Restaurant.com Giveaway!

It’s time for the fourth… but perhaps not final… giveaway in our month of giveaways here at the Feisty Foodie! (I have some other tricks up my sleeve, you’ll see… perhaps we shall continue!)
I’ve mentioned Restaurant.com on this site several times in the past, but I can’t figure out a way to easily link to the times I’ve done so. Basically: I’ve used their site (notably for Hill Country) in the past and have enjoyed the discounts afforded me by them. It makes some restaurants – especially Hill Country! – that are slightly on the higher end of my preferred price range more bearable to visit.
In any case, to help raise awareness of not just their site, but their New York restaurant guide, Restaurant.com has graciously offered me not one… not two… but four $25 gift certificates to their site, to give away to FOUR lucky readers!!!
So please go check out the New York restaurant guide, and come back here to enter for your chance to win.
Back so soon? Okay, here’s how to enter:
You checked out the Restaurant.com restaurant guide, right? Now leave a comment below telling me which restaurant you’d like to visit using your $25 gift certificate, if you win… in haiku form.
(Not familiar with haiku? A form of poetry, three lines, 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables. Simple, easy-peasy, honest.)
Three winners will be chosen by Random.org lottery, with one gift certificate set aside for the best haiku.
Good luck!!!
Restrictions and the usual fine print: this contest is open to anyone living in an area Restaurant.com serves, not just New York. Please do use the New York guide to pick a restaurant for the haiku, though. Contest is not open to employees of The Feisty Foodie. Contest is sponsored by Restaurant.com, any positive editorial by me is my opinion alone, and was not solicited by Restaurant.com. I did not receive any monetary compensation for this – in fact, I am not receiving anything from Restaurant.com for running this contest.
Moonstruck in my fave

PS: I know I’m ineligible but I can’t help that I’m a haiku-writing-machine! I’m just hoping to inspire others!
Finger Licking Food
Barbeque makes bellies smile
Hill Country feed me
Cheeseburgers and fries
So good they make me cry, “Damn!”
Whitmans is thumbs up
D’agastino’s is it
Pizza and Pasta and sauce
Italian Fare yum
Hi Maureen – I’m afraid your haiku has the wrong number of syllables, and D’agastino’s isn’t part of the Restaurant.com list! Please try again.
Dervish sounds tasty.
Too bad I’ll never eat there.
I would feast on lamb.

Haiku #1:
Travel through my life
Making time for play, joy
Brings hope and smile
Haiku #2
Dancing breeze teases
Lifts spirit; musses hair
Coolness is worth it
Just in case I messed up, in my defense, some things have more syllables when said in a Southern accent;).
Tracie
Hill Country should burn
I pee on their barbeque
We want Ed Mitchell!
Congratulations Goats! You win for best haiku! I couldn’t stop laughing when I read it. Check your email for a GC that you don’t have to use at Hill Country
Muchas Gracias Yvo! I’m VERY excited!

The first two were just warm-ups, here’s my real entry:
La Zarza tempts me,
Flamenco Guitar is soul,
Sangria flows so sweetly.
Tracie
Hi Tracie! I’m sorry, you have the wrong number of syllables. Would you like to submit another entry?
D’oh!!! I used to write poetry as a kid. Guess there was a reason it was free-form.
La Zarza tempts me,
Flamenco guitar is heart,
Sangria flows sweet.
Twenty years married
Special love for jazz in az
Ric’s Cafe for two
My husband and I are celebrating our twentieth anniversary in July. This would be a lovely evening listening to live jazz and enjoying a lovely meal.
By the way – “Jazz in az” is actually pronounced as written and is not “Jazz in Arizona”. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping jazz alive in Arizona.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Alicia
Hi Alicia, thanks for entering! I saw that and read it a few times and decided you must want me to say ‘azz’ instead, then I saw the rest of your comment. Ha! Just a note, the haiku should be written about places in NYC (though you are obviously free to use the GC, should you win, in your own town) – I linked to the list above for you to browse any that might strike your fancy. Please feel free to submit another entry!
