Chase Sapphire’s 8 Great Plates Competition Challenges Foodies to Think Global, Eat Local

2012-05-10 11:00 ET - News Release

Diners to Vote for Favorite International Dishes, Raise Funds for Charity in Restaurant Competition presented by Chase Sapphire

Chase Sapphire to Donate $1 For Every Vote to Feeding America, Up to $100,000

Public Voting Open May 10 to July 31 at Chase Sapphire Facebook Page


WILMINGTON, Del. -- (Business Wire)

Diners can now vote with their palates and raise funds for charity in the new 8 Great PlatesSMrestaurant competition to determine the most-loved international cuisine in ten U.S. cities. Chase Card Services, a division of JPMorgan Chase & Co. [NYSE: JPM], announced today the start of public voting for consumers’ favorite international dishes among eight local restaurant contenders in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Miami, Dallas, Boston, Houston and Atlanta through the “8 Great Plates” Dining App on the Chase Sapphire Facebook page. For every vote cast online through July 31, Chase Sapphire will donate $1 to Feeding America, up to $100,000 nationwide. Feeding America will distribute up to $10,000 to local food banks in each of the 10 cities.

The 8 Great Plates challenge is inspired by the new Bravo culinary competition series, “Around the World in 80 Plates,” which premiered May 9. Hosted by food experts Curtis Stone and Cat Cora and co-produced by Chase Sapphire Preferred, the show follows 12 chefs in a race across 10 countries over 40 days. In each episode, contestants travel to a different international city to learn local customs, cultures and cuisines as they battle it out in two different cooking challenges that test their skills and determination.

Chase Sapphire partnered with Tasting Table to select eight restaurants in each city – along with featured plates – that showcase international cuisines seen on “Around the World in 80 Plates,” including English, French, Spanish, Moroccan, Italian, Thai, Cantonese and Argentinian. Consumers can vote for their favorite plate among the participating restaurants through the “8 Great Plates” Dining App on the Chase Sapphire Facebook page.

“We chose to present the 8 Great Plates competition to create a unique way for Chase Sapphire cardmembers, ‘Around the World in 80 Plates’ fans and food lovers to discover and experience stand-out international cuisine in their own cities,” said Sean O’Reilly, general manager, Chase Sapphire. “The competition allows diners across the country to show their passion for diverse culinary experiences while raising needed funds to fight hunger. By simply casting an online vote for their favorite international dish at participating restaurants, consumers can help raise $100,000 for Feeding America.”

“The ‘8 Great Plates’ partnership is another example of Chase’s ongoing support of Feeding America,” said Vicki Escarra, President and CEO of Feeding America. “We are proud to work with Chase Sapphire on this program that will help deliver as many as 800,000 meals to those in need. Feeding America is grateful to Chase for helping our food banks feed nearly 37 million people each year.”
