The winners of the were determined based upon the votes of local Tallahassee food bloggers. Those voting in this year’s awards were Cook the Blog; Ermahgerd, Mershed Perderders!; gingermantra; Somewhat Gourmet; Sweet Tea & Bourbon; Tasty Tallahassee; and Two in Tally.
While I may not agree with each choice personally, I do appreciate the procedure you guys used to determine the winners. It is much better than the typical way these things are done in town ($$$$ or whoring). Looking forward to seeing the rest of the winners. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! All of the bloggers who voted took it very seriously. I think we came up with a good list free of undue influences.
I think next year will be even better. We’ll have another year of trying more places. I know I have a long list of places to go thanks to the voting process and conversations with other members.
I agree 100%. I think this was a really good first effort. I’d like to pare down the categories, as some are hard for all of us to check out (catering for one).
