BaltimoreEats.com and WashingtonEats.com Announce New Website Features and Giveaways

BaltimoreEats.com and WashingtonEats.com, the most up-to-date and comprehensive online guides to Baltimore and Washington’s independent local restaurants, just got even easier to use. New enhancements will make it simpler to add personal reviews and event information, and a new contest will reward one lucky person each month with a gift card to an exciting local restaurant.

In addition to featuring local restaurant listings in an easy to search format, deals and specials, popular food blogs and foodie news, the sites now offer buttons right on the home page enabling users to “Add A Review,” “Add Local Events” and view the “Video Archive.”  Users are encouraged to add their community events, especially fairs, festivals and food and wine events, and to leave a review for restaurants they visit. To reward reviewers, one person who submits a review during each month will be randomly chosen from each site at the end of that month and will win a dining gift card from one of the many participating local independent restaurants.

“We have been pleased with the interest in BaltimoreEats.com and WashingtonEats.com since launching the new sites back in February,” said Paul Saval, co-founder of BaltimoreEats.com and WashingtonEats.com and President and CEO of Saval Foodservice. “We are constantly tweaking the sites to make them more user friendly and focused on our local dining community. We know that our readers are passionate about food and we hope these newest enhancements will allow them to share that passion more easily, and to get rewarded for doing so.” 

Currently featuring a combined database of more than 4,000 independent restaurants with constant updates and additions, BaltimoreEats.com and WashingtonEats.com allow users to search for places to dine by a range of criteria including neighborhood, type of cuisine, price or special features such as the kid-friendly choices, outdoor dining or carryout. Users can also find even more information on local dining and food trends by following both sites on Facebook and Twitter.

BaltimoreEats.com and WashingtonEats.com are owned and operated by Saval Foodservice, the area’s leading independent foodservice distributor. Saval first purchased the BaltimoreEats print publication in 2009 and converted it to an online-only resource in 2010.
