Online ordering service Delivery.com has acquired Eats Media LLC, a restaurant information portal and social networking site for food enthusiasts. The acquisition strengthens Delivery.com's positioning and growth potential as an online destination providing local, same-day delivery of food and other items to individual consumers and companies.

"Delivery.com has a unique partnership model that pays customers substantial referral commissions for bringing new merchants and users on board," said Howard Lutnick, chairman and CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, the financial services firm that owns Delivery.com, in a press statement. "The addition of Eats brings even more compelling content that our partners can leverage when promoting our properties."

Eats was created in 2002 in New York and has expanded to several other U.S. markets since. Joe Ariel, CEO and cofounder of Eats, will be the CEO of post-acquisition Delivery.com. Joining him are Jon Gershman, vice president of sales for post-acquisition Eats; Jonathan Mark, vice president of marketing; and Colin Sims, vice president of operations.

The winning recipe was Tilapia Tostadas, by Emily Hobbs of Ozark, Mo., which included 1 pound of pan-fried Regal Springs Tilapia served with pineapple salsa. Hobbs was awarded a $5,000 prize for her entry; she plans to put the money toward attending the French Culinary Institute.

In addition to Hobbs' first-place finish, there were five finalists who each earned $150 and a three-month supply of tilapia. There were also five honorable mentions.
