In case you missed it, this year's ballot appeared in City Paper for three weeks, starting the last week of September and running through the middle of October. But we could swear that every single one of you tore out a ballot, chose your favorites, and mailed it back in. Sometimes there are so many strong contestants that we list more than three.
Ballot stuffing is verboten .
People who fill out the entire ballot get a free City Paper or earSHOT magazine T-shirt. We got the point about a year and a half ago, but it's good to know that the flame burns on. And thanks to all of the readers who donated their time, energy and 32-cent stamps. 417 N. Delaware Ave. Best New Restaurant 1.
