Hey there GrubGrade readers, it’s time for a giveaway.  A Hardee’s Happy Star Slanket and a bunch of Grilled Cheese Bacon Thickburgers are in your future if you are the lucky winner.  Of course I’m going to make this as simple as possible for you folks.  Just leave a comment on this post and I’ll randomly pick a winner by tomorrow night, (let’s say comment by 9pm est, 3/11/10).  Good luck!

Why the Happy Star Slanket? Well, Hardee’s just introduced the Grilled Cheese Bacon Thickburger. It’s comfort food for grown-ups: melted American and Swiss cheeses on grilled sourdough bread, and (since it is Hardee’s) the addition of a charbroiled 100% Black Angus beef patty and crispy bacon… all for the starting price of $2.79. It’s just like mom used to make… but better. Because it’s a burger. With bacon.

Thanks everyone for commenting.  Over 70!  Here are the randomly picked winners for a Free Mac Snack Wrap:

Here’s a little inside info for my readers.  I’ve had maybe 2 Big Mac’s in my entire life.  I am definitely no Don Gorske.  As most of you probably already know, McDonald’s recently released a wrap version of the Big Mac called the Mac Snack Wrap.  I have yet to try it but we do have a review of the Mac Snack Wrap that you can check out.  Since I’ve never been a Big Mac guy, I’m not really the best person to ask about how the wrap compares to the sandwich.  All I know is that it’s only $1.49 and I’ve got 8 to give away.  Try one and let me know what your opinion is.  Just leave a comment on this post and we’ll draw 8 winners on Tuesday.

Thanks for the comments everyone.  Email me at GrubGrade at Gmail dot com with your contact info.

Here are the winners:

It’s a slow news day.  I am extra tired.  I am taking the easy way out on this one.  Any Hardee’s fans out there? I know you want a FREE Blueberry Biscuit. I have 6 freebies to give away so come and get it.  Please write an 2000-word essay on why blueberries are so amazing.  You’ll get your chance for one of these tasty breakfast treats.  They sell for 99¢ for 1 so this is a major prize.  Make your essay as carefully structured and thoughtful as possible.  Or you can just leave a random comment and you’ll have an equal shot at nabbing one.  I’ll pick at random and choose 6 winners from the comments.  I’ll shut it down and post the winning names by tomorrow night.  Thanks and good luck!

Actually let’s go with two winners.  I have randomly selected two GrubGrade readers to have lunch on me.  So let me know how you want to do this.  I can send you a gift card or hook you up through PayPal.  Let me know.  Here are the two randomly selected winners:

• #7 – Katie Ann
• #47 – Marco

Katie Ann and Marco please email me GrubGrade at Gmail dot com.  $25 in lunch/dinner/whatever coming your way.

To everyone who contributed with comments and stories…Thanks so much.  It was cool reading all your stories on your travels to satisfy your grub cravings.  Really, I wish I could take you all out to lunch.  Maybe at some point right?  I’ll run a little contest or giveaway from time to time so check in with us.  I sincerely appreciate everyone’s support and visiting my humble, little blog.  We are closing in on the 1 year anniversary of GrubGrade next month.  It’s been a fun year and I’m looking forward to more.

Sometimes I have a craving for something specific that would require a bit more effort than walking to the kitchen.  Whether it be that delicious pizza place across town or a journey a bit farther to get that sandwich that is only found in a neighboring state.  I think most of us are guilty of going out of our way, at one time or another, to satisfy a craving.  My favorite thing about GrubGrade is reading all the comments you guys leave so go ahead and leave one now…make me happy .  Don’t be shy, only a few will bite.  I’m sure there are plenty of you out there with a unique, funny or interesting story (if not, that’s OK too).  Just join in the conversation my friends.

Mmmmm....I might get on a plane for you.

It’s a new year and GrubGrade would like to hear from you.  To make it worth your while, how about I buy you lunch (or…lunches). I’ll go $25.00 deep. Along with your response to “What’s The Farthest You Have Traveled for Grub?”, please let me know where you’d like to spend your $25.00.  I’d personally take you out to lunch as a small token of my “thanks for reading GrubGrade” but for now, let’s just start with $25.00.  I’ll keep the contest up for the next few days and then pick a winner so get your comments in!

And the winner is…
