Beginning on Friday, November 11 and continuing through Saturday, November 19, a formidable list of more than forty of Boulder's best restaurants -- spots like Pizzeria Basta, Pizzeria Locale, The Kitchen, The Empire Lounge and Restaurant in Louisville and Terroir in Longmont -- are offering diners a chance to nab a table and a three-course meal for just $26.

It's all part of First Bite Boulder, the town's annual feeding frenzy showcasing high caliber restaurants. And while $26 for a multi-course meal is a bargain, we have an even better one: an opportunity to score a free dinner for two at one of the participating restaurants.

Want to win? Here's how: This year is the sixth anniversary of First Bite Boulder. So in the comments section, give us six words that explain why we should pick up your dinner tab during the event. Be sure to include a valid e-mail address (we promise not to share it) so we can get in touch with details about how to claim the prize.

We'll announce the winner on Thursday. In the meantime, check out the restaurants participating in the event and start making your reservations now -- because places are filling up.
