Description:

Whenever I travel to a different city/area, I absolutely love to try some of the local eateries. This swap is going to be my play on shows like Man v. Food, $40 a day and Diners Drive Ins and Dives. No, I'm not going to ask you to gorge yourself, or only have a budget of $40, but I'm hoping you get the idea behind my thinking!

What you'll need: A camera (if using a disposable one--24 to 27 exposures is fine), A 3 prong folder (or something of similar size).

Here's the plan: Go to five (5) different local (to you) eateries. This means no fast food and no national chains. Whatever you decide to have to eat (breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert), photograph it and write it up (you can either write or type it). Also get a picture of the restaurant--outside is a must, inside too if they have some cool inerior decor. Also, if they have a take out menu, include that.

After you've gone to all five places, print up your pictures on photo quality paper (if you used a disposable camera--have a place like Walmart or CVS print them up). With your photos, write ups and menus, make a nice little 'notebook' with them in the folder.

Misc. Notes: Because this is going to be somewhat time intensive, I'm going to be more stringent about who can or cannot join. This is going to be USA only. No newbies. All must have a 4.98+ rating

EDITED: The send by date has changed to March 30.

Went to my first restaurant for this swap tonight. Got lots of pics, and had some delicious food. This swap is awesome!

Please note the edit on the send by date. I had some unexpected stuff happen so I had changed the date. :)

That's okay with me! :) It gives me more time to get to my last place and then put everything together.

Oh my goodness, I'm so happy you extended the date. I was having a panic attack because I had a problem getting my photos printed, and came on here to see how long I had to get them done. Talk about relieved when I saw it had been extended. And then I realized I had not taken the right photos anyway, because I was doing the inside/food, etc. and not the outside. So this gives me a little while to go back and take pictures of the outside of the restaurants as well. Thanks!
