We (well, some of us) always laugh at the best of awards, but have any of you ever voted? Not sure I ever had.

I'm sure the Press awards aren't as big a deal as they were in the late 90's or early 2000's when it was still a print publication and Yelp didn't exist. I wonder how much effort it would take to pump up some random ass restaurant.

There is a write in section for each category. We need to coordinate.

I'm open to any suggestions, still haven't finished my all-important ballot.

Had to write in T-Bone's for best sports bar.
Queen Donut for best Donuts.
Red River Icehouse for best bar.
Pete's Fine Meats & Deli for best deli.
Hideaway on Dunvale for best steak night.

Happy Lamp for Best Chinese, of course.

I think 'the Aquarium' winning for all categories would piss them off more.
