Since I missed my 2nd blogiversary back in July, I decided I would save my contest for my 400th post. Except that I just realized that was used for my Martha Stewart lantern post. Oops. So hooray for the 401st post!
So here's the deal. Here's a little test to see how well you know us. Most of these answers will NOT be found on the blog and are fairly obscure (aren't we nice to level the playing field?) Here's the rules:
1. Answer all 12 questions in the comments section (the number and letter will suffice)
2. In your comment, also leave the name of your favorite CHAIN restaurant
3. Have your answers submitted by midnight on Wednesday
In honor of our love for eating out, the person with the most correct answers will win a $25 gift card to the restaurant of their choice (the one you left in the comments section). If there are several people with the same number of correct answers, they'll all go into a drawing for the card.
