It's been a challenging year for restaurants of all sizes and S.Pellegrino's Restaurant BINGO is a month-long program that encourages fans to show their support for local establishments. The BINGO-style challenge is being promoted with the help of Netflix Queer Eye's Tan France and the James Beard Foundation.
Over the next four weeks, a new Restaurant BINGO board theme will be unveiled on Instagram by France, along with food-related challenges. These themes will include "Around the World," "Food Love" and others like "Cake Just Because" and the self-explanatory "Sushi & Pizza on the Same Day." Instagram users will be able to claim a square on the weekly board by posting a photo of their order and using the #SupportRestaurants tag.
