It's time to buy some stamps and postcards because Erin French's restaurant is now accepting reservation requests by snail mail!

On Friday, it was announced on Instagram that French's intimate Maine restaurant, the Lost Kitchen, is accepting reservation submissions through postcards. Guests must make a donation through the restaurant's website to receive information on where to mail reservation requests for the exclusive restaurant.

In order to get the information, fans must donate to the PFAS Emergency Relief Fund through the Lost Kitchen website. This organization provides relief for farmers affected by the soil contamination of PFAS and is a "cause that is very close to" the restaurant, according to their site.

After making a donation, potential guests will receive the correct mailing address and a special code to include on their postcard. But just mailing a postcard does not guarantee a spot at the restaurant. French uses a luck-of-the-draw system to decide who gets a spot.

In addition to a regular reservation, your postcard is also entered for a chance to win dinner for two and a two-night stay in one of the Lost Kitchen's cabins this season.

If you're chosen for any reservation, someone at the Lost Kitchen will call you to arrange a date and time that works for your group (so lookout for a call from Freedom, Maine!). But don't lose hope if you don't get a call right away because French selects new postcards later if a party cancels.
