Breakfast Lovers and B&B Fans Invited to Vote for Favorite Breakfasts in Fifth Annual Best B&B Breakfast Tournament
Today kicks off BedandBreakfast.com’s fifth annual Best B&B Breakfast Tournament. Breakfast lovers and B&B fans will vote for their favorite B&B breakfast in North America, choosing from a pool of 16 finalists. Voting will be tough, as sweet competes with savory, quiches face off against soufflés, and pancakes take on French toast.
“Breakfast is often the favorite ‘B’ in B&Bs for many travelers,” says Lisa Westlake Chen, general manager of BedandBreakfast.com, the world's most comprehensive site for finding and booking bed and breakfast properties. “This annual contest is fun because our B&B fans along with breakfast fanatics vote for their favorites, which they can enjoy at home since we provide recipes for all 16 finalists.”
BedandBreakfast.com’s Best B&B Breakfast Tournament is a bracket much like the NCAA Basketball’s March Madness, with BedandBreakfast.com’s Facebook fans voting on their favorites. The recipes in each bracket winning the most votes move on to the next round of eight, four, and the final two, which will battle it out in a showdown on April 4. The winner will be announced April 7.
The Sweet 16 were chosen based on recipe creativity, uniqueness and appeal by guest judges including Anne Banas, deputy travel editor for BBC.com; Genevieve Shaw Brown, travel editor for ABC News; Adrien Glover, vice president of content and marketing at ItaliaRail; and Sarah Martens, associate digital food editor, BHG.com.
