Open Call for the Best Cheap Eats Around the World

This is the second in our new series of open group writes. It's a chance to showcase great bloggers in the Wise Bread community and provide valuable resources for our readers.

The group write is simple:  You write a helpful blog post about the best cheap eats in your city.  Wise Bread will link to all your blog posts, and together we'll create the best list (and map!) of good cheap restaurants around the world.

To participate, it's an easy 1-2-3 process....

1. Blog about the best cheap eats in your city

Write a post on your blog on the good cheap restaurants in your city.  (No blog? Post your tips in this forum thread, and we'll link to your forum post.)

No chain restaurants. We don't want to hear about the closest Cheesecake Factory!

Tell us about the places that can't be found ANYWHERE else!

Include price ranges, your favorite dishes, special "secret" menus, and any other insider tips.

2. Update the Best Cheap Eats Map

Add your restaurant recommendations to the Best Cheap Eats Map.

It's easy once you've done it once.  Here are instructions with screenshots on how to edit a Google map.

Please make sure to include the following in the location bubbles:

• Name of restaurant
• Address/phone number/website
• Include a link to your post (label it "Reviewed by your site name")

Anyone can make changes to the map

That means we're counting on everyone to contribute valuable info, and help police spam and junk.

To ensure that this map is as useful as possible, please follow these guidelines:

• Don't change the name or description of the map.  That'll confuse people.
• Don't spam, add junk listings, or otherwise make the map less useful.
• Do keep the info bubbles as neat and useful as possible.  Parking tips are good.
• Do link to your review of the restaurant on your blog.  If a listing already exists, add your link to it.
• Do fix mistakes or vandalism/spam.  Help make the map more useful!  

3. Tell us about your post

The rules

• We accept articles written in the past, as long as it's still relevant.
• If you have multiple posts, please write one post that lists them instead of sending us ten different links to separate reviews.
• The article must be region specific. An article on "The top 10 restaurants in the US" will not be included.
• Submitting your link does not guarantee its inclusion on the final post. We will only include relevant and useful articles.
• Links need to be submitted by November 30 to be included in the first round.

Put this in your email

• City / state (or country) the article pertains to.
• Permalink to your article.
• "Group Write: Local Eats" as the subject of the email.

Email your link to editor@wisebread.com.
