In honor of our 10th anniversary, PA Eats will be celebrating in the town where we began by giving out $1,000 in gift cards during The Chester County Restaurant Festival! The festival will be held in downtown West Chester on Sunday, September 18, from noon–5:30 p.m.
PA Eats started when food and travel fanatic Mary Bigham began blogging as a hobby during her international explorations and quickly realized her main focus naturally evolved around culinary topics. Upon her return to U.S. soil, she began to cover the West Chester PA food scene with a local blog, and soon after teamed up with Jason Tremblay—a local coffee addict—to turn the blog into a food-focused company—Dish LLC.
That small locally focused blog has turned into a wide-reaching culinary publication, PA Eats, which currently covers 16 communities—Chestnut Hill, Downingtown, Exton, Gettysburg, Harrisburg, Kennett Square, Lancaster, Lehigh Valley, Manayunk, Media, Philadelphia, Philadelphia Main Line, Phoenixville, West Chester, Wilmington and York.
Additionally, PA Eats reports on hot trends such as travel, style and health.
PA Eats has evolved into so much more than a local blog covering food and drink topics in our 10 years as a company. Dish LLC also has a online publication devoted to all things cider, Cider Culture—your ultimate online resource for hard cider information, news and events.
Dish LLC’s culinary content agency, Dish Works, offers services including blogging, photography, video, web development, professional recipe creation, graphic art and design, presentations and much more to restaurants, breweries, wineries, cideries, print publications, tourism agencies and other businesses that are in need of expert content.
Dish LLC and PA Eats wouldn’t be the company that we are today without our fans. We want to say thank you for 10 years of readership and for growing with us along the way! The very first event that PA Eats covered was The Chester County Restaurant Festival, so there is no better way to thank our readers than to reward you with some prizes!
So, what’s up for grabs?
