As in years past, the folks at the Durham Convention & Visitors Bureau would like a peek inside your head. They gather a little ground-level research from locals to find out what they do and don't dig on the local dining scene. Visitors are increasingly interested in local preferences, too, as they relate to food. The goal of the survey is to provide empirically-informed selections upon which visitors can act when they visit.
Nary a social medium is without some manner of commentary on food, and those media drive the interest in this sort of information. Since Durhamites get so excited about things in the place where great things happen, this survey is a great way to formalize that data. So, those with an opinion (research shows that opinions are strongly-held in Durham) should follow this link to complete the survey.
"It's a short survey and folks can complete it through Monday, October 17th. That's plenty of time for restaurants and food trucks to get their fans to go and vote," said Sam Poley, DCVB's Director of Marketing and Communications who hopes that residents will voice their opinions by the thousands. "This survey is a real opportunity for businesses to rally their customers and social media followers to help them win. I strongly encourage them to do so because those with the most votes get a year of promotion on our website...and the dining page upon which the survey winners are listed is one of the most popular on our site," he added.
The top vote-getting establishments are presented with a framed award and are announced publicly by DCVB. The questions change annually, so it is possible that a place may have consecutive wins in a category that are years apart. Last year's winners are posted here.
