Once again we are searching for what our readers consider the best in local food fashion, and fun. This year, we have a little twist in that our readers will have the opportunity nominate ANY locally-owned restaurant or business until May 2, 2014.

Then in our June issue, we will announce the top three in each category who will be up for the Townie Award and you will have until July 3 to vote. Final winners will be announced in our August issue. And of course, there will be prizes along the way, so stay tuned.

This year, we have posted the Townie Ballot online. To vote, simply click

.

Remember to think local (please no chain or national restaurants and/or businesses). Please fill out at least 25 entries.

Happy voting!
