Giveaway: Win a ticket to the New York Wine & Food Festival Burger Bash Courtesy of Fresh Direct!!!

[This giveaway is now CLOSED. Congratulations to the winner, Irina G. Stay tuned for other fun opportunities!]

If you've been paying even a modicum of attention around here, you would know that I'm a pretty major Fresh Direct fan. For those of you outside the NYC area, Fresh Direct is an incredible online grocery store that delivers right to your home. This means that I usually do my groceries from the comfort of my bed in my pajamas.

It's awesome.

I love the quality of their ingredients, the ridiculously amazing customer service, their par-baked croissants (oh holy heck yes!), the "What's Good" button that pretty much dictates how I shop, and the fact that they include incredibly accurate and honest ratings on their products so you know what to expect. I could probably go on about my Fresh Direct fangirl-ness for days, but I'll stop because right now I have a super cool giveaway to share with you!

A chance for you to win a ticket to the 2012 New York City Wine & Food Festival Blue Moon Burger Bash presented by Pat La Frieda Meats and hosted by Rachael Ray.

The October 12 event features top chefs from all over the city, Food Network Stars, and amazing celebrity chefs competing to win the title for the Best Burger. And yes, guests get to try as many burgers as they physically (or morally) can.

It is one of the most popular events at NYCWFF and is already completely SOLD OUT. (Value $225)

Yup... pretty awesome!

I'm not promising that Rachael Ray will try to shove a burger in your mouth if you win, but I figure it's totally possible.

And if you're feeling extra lucky, you should also try your hand at winning one of TEN $100 gift cards that Fresh Direct is giving away to celebrate their 10th birthday. To enter, simply LIKE Fresh Direct on Facebook and fill out the entry form.

Details: Prize includes one ticket to the 2012 NYCWFF Burger Bash (value of $225). Transportation, lodging, and other expenses are NOT included. You must be able to get yourself to NYC.
