Ramada's Chief Eats Officer Contest: ToP Thoughts

Ramada's Chief Eats Officer contest is another creative opportunity presented by the team at Wyndham. There are definitely some intriguing locations on that list too. I wonder if the travel stipend is just cash, much like my Choice Hotels football game booking, and we could use miles and points to offset the plane costs etc. That would put more money into our pocket, or allow us more of a budget for when in country on this trip.

If you are interested then I say go for it. Even if the odds are long, you just never know. I won the Arby's Hawaii trip a few years back and a few ToP Facebook Members won the unlimited hotel pass from Wyndham over the summer.
