Get Your Alibi Ready and Go Eat
April 10th, 2010
It’s big, it’s annual – it’s the Best of Burque list at the Weekly Alibi.
Sure, readers voted. The restaurant list ain’t part of it anymore (boo!), but there are food-ish votes. We know they’re going to pick ABC Cake Shop, Keller’s Meats, and Talin . . . again. Nothing wrong with that, but I do loves me some 99B Asian Market.
So is there anything of interest to note? The staff picks are usually interesting, though much less so now that Maren has flown the coop for the Eastern Seaboard. Regardless, they are a hard working bunch with good local experience so a few gems are bound to crop up – like Devin’s love of the Chocolate Cartel. Hear, hear!
Read it all here, and if you don’t like the results, then freakin’ VOTE next year, eh? Or join their staff.
Food “best of” is in October

Howdy!
Thanks for the ups. Just wanted to pass along that we have a separate issue just for restaurants. Best of Burque Restaurants (BOBR, as it’s affectionately known around the office), will come out in October. Voting will commence in late August or early September.

Hey, thanks for the plug! Just to steer your readers in the right direction, Best of Burque Restaurants (http://alibi.com/index.php?scn=feature&di=2009-10-08) is way too huge to include in the regular old Best of Burque issue (http://alibi.com/index.php?scn=feature&di=2010-04-08) — that’s why, for that past 10 years or so, Best of Burque Restaurants has been its own poll with its own ginormous issue. It comes out every October. (Best of Burque = Spring. Best of Burque Restaurants = Fall.)
That’s also why we try to tied over the food lovers with Best of Burque categories that fall outside of normal restaurant’s territory — local breweries, growers’ markets, bakeries, butchers and so on.
BoB Restaurants voting to starts in September — so when you see balloons in the sky, it’s time to stop by alibi.com and vote for your favorite restaurants in Albuquerque. Cheers!

Ack, “tide” them over, “restaurant” territory. That’s what I get for not reading before I post!
