This year has been like no other for our nation’s restaurants, making it more important than ever to recognize independent eateries and the role they play in our communities.
The 6th Annual Neighborhood to Nation Recipe Contest celebrates local restaurants, their one-of-a-kind dishes, and the pride they bring to their communities. This year’s contest will award $100,000 to restaurants and food trucks nationwide.
What’s New This Year?
In response to the current challenging times for restaurants, General Mills has made some important changes to this year’s contest, making it easier for restaurants to enter and doubling the number of winners.
- In total, 20 restaurants and/or food trucks will be awarded $5,000 plus a PR/marketing package.
- A “People’s Choice” component allows restaurants to rally the support of their patrons to help them earn $5,000 for their local food pantry and additional marketing support for their business.
- An added bonus: the first 100 eligible entrants will receive fun Pillsbury Doughboy items and marketing materials to help them promote their recipe with patrons.
