Comcast awards the XFINITY Red Apron prize at Taste of Atlanta Festival

Oct. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- The XFINITY Red Apron will offer one lucky attendee of the upcoming Taste of Atlanta a prize package valued at nearly $900!  

Corporate partner and media sponsor Comcast is awarding the XFINITY Red Apron at several Atlanta area food festivals, including Taste of Atlanta Festival.  Four area restaurants are donating items, ranging from food tastings to gift certificates.  The list of the participating Atlanta area restaurants include: Tin Lizzy’s Cantina, Willy’s, Williamson Brothers BBQ and Botekim Brazilian Bistro.

“Comcast is a proud supporter of community events including the Taste of Atlanta Festival and we are very excited to introduce the Red Apron Award promotion this year” said Taylor Nipper, director of marketing for Comcast’s Atlanta region. “The Red Apron Award will offer some very exciting exclusive prizes on top of one of the best food events around” added Nipper.

For 10 years, Taste of Atlanta has showcased hundreds of Atlanta's favorite restaurants, celebrated Atlanta's best chefs and shown the world why ATLANTA is the crown jewel of the South. No one does it better than Taste of Atlanta's local chefs, our Georgia farmers and the city's talented bartenders.  The continued success of Taste of Atlanta indicates that yes, Atlantans like to eat, but they also like to sample before breaking out their wallets.  “Clearly, there was a need and a want for a festival like this,” DeSena said. “We’ve been trying to grow it in an organized way to help our local chef-driven restaurants, but also to turn tasters into diners.”.

Anyone can register to win the XFINITY Red Apron by registering in person at the XFINITY display at Taste of Atlanta , or by visiting the Comcast on Demand Atlanta Get Local facebook page.
