Well, here it is: the last (but not least!) of our Foodie Challenge photo contest winners.
We've seen some great pictures from all over the world--Georgia, Vienna, France, China--but this final photo was taken closer to home. Bill Harner snapped this image of an iconic U.S. meal after a day at the Virginia Safari Park in Natural Bridge, Virginia.

About the photo:
"We were getting ready to hop on the interstate and drive home when we looked up the road and saw the Pink Cadillac Diner. It looked like a fun place so in we went. I was immediately struck by the fun and funky decor. Almost all of the diner's decor was dedicated to Elvis.
"I'm game for trying anything food-wise (smoked eel is a personal favorite, it's the bacon of the sea) but there wasn't anything unusual on the menu, so I decided to go with the signature burger of the joint, the "Elvis Burger".
"What I like about the photo is how perfect the burger looks. It's not squished and nasty looking. It looks like a little sculpture of tastiness, just for me. I also like that the colors in the frame don't detract from the photo. They actually add a little bit of the ambiance and a sense of place to the photo."
Thanks to everyone for submitting photos and helping us choose the winners for our Foodie Challenge!
