Santa Cruz County is such a fun place to live,
work and play. We have everything at our fingertips
especially when it comes to homegrown businesses.
Santa Cruzans are proud of their small independent
nature and this years Readers Choice winners prove
that.
We've had many discussions around the office
(usually around 11:30) as to what is everyone's
favorite sushi, burrito or hamburger. When it was
time to launch our readers choice voting portal
in December, we were all eager to hear how our
choices stacked up against yours....and as a result,
we found some new places to try. One thing that
makes some of our categories fun and unique as
opposed to other markets are the beach related
categories like favorite dining spot to watch the
surfers or best chowder in town. These are badges
of honor for some of the winners and they look
forward to the results each year. I also loved some of
the personal ones like favorite bartender or server.
If you have a suggestion or thought for next years
readers choice, we would love to hear from you. Just
know that in order for it to be considered, it needs
somewhat of a wide appeal that the nominee isn't
the only one in town that does that service. (please
don't ask me to add best Emu rancher in Santa Cruz)
Hope you enjoy as much as we did, and thanks for
reading... and voting!

Best
of
2015!
