Re: “Best Chinese

PF Chang? I thought this was best Chinese - not best white corporate America naming caloric abnormalities with "Oriental" names

Re: “Best Burrito

Nicos and Chipotle? What a disgrace for a city 40 minutes from mexico. Who is voting 80 year olds from the midwest and 6 year old McDonalds fans?

Re: “Best Make-Believe BLT

Maybe this coop would like to know about our easy method for making the best tempeh!
http://www.makethebesttempeh.org
We produced Betsy's Tempeh commercially in Mich. for 9 1/2 years and our customers loved our tempeh patties and grated tempeh for chili, etc.

Re: “Best Place to Hear About What's Good in Our Schools

I am having too much fun.

This is a reader choice and not anything an intelligent person would even consider. if you want propaganda, tune into this where they pat each other on the back and lob softball questions at each other. There are other sources of information regarding the debacle going on in TUSD, including the Jon Justice Show, (voted Best Radio Personality by our esteemed intelligent readers) where he is not afraid to tackle the ridiculous antics of the board, students and teachers. When school members are afraid of tough questions, they ignore Jon and instead head over to this dribble.

Re: “Best Video Store

This is fun... My take

Well, let's keep in mind that this is a reader poll and not anything us smarty people would even ever consider. Look, video rental stores are relics of the early 90's. the fact that they exist to this day speaks to how stubbornly some of our idiot readers still cling to them to rent their "favorite" movies. Movies no doubt no for-profit real tv station, cable satellite or other, would even consider running because only 4 people like them. Well whatever. There are other means of getting your film fix, like Netflix, but if you want pretentious old films and "indie" films that suck but no one will admit it and netflix won't carry, then I guess you need to trudge over here

Re: “Best Radio Talk Show (Host)

Apparently my previous post was deleted. So perhaps I shall try again.

How typically elitist of you to point out the readers selected Jon for this honor, and your words indicate your utter contempt for said readers. Are you calling them stupid? Tell me, is Zinburger, by your superior intellect, truly the best burger in town? Or did the stupid readers get this wrong too. Let's write up a blurb for them, using the same tone shown here.

Zinburger does offer a variety. In a city where most burger joints lull their patrons to sleep with the same old lousy food, Zinburger manages to at least fill their menu. People should realize there are other places, like fuddruckers, that someone can go to for different choices and alternative takes on the same old same burger. So when pretentious overpriced burgers that aren't elsewhere are your thing, then I guess Zinburger is your place.

Re: “Best Film About a Defunct Radio Station

RDub did a fantastic job in putting this film together! He did an enormous amount of leg work tracking people down all over the country to tell the story from all angles. All of us involved with the station back in the day were blown away by the way he put the story together. The station was the launching pad for so many fantastic radio talents that are now entertaining people all across the country. Even if you don't know a thing about the station, you'll find it entertaining and a keen insight into the passion that real radio people have/had for the business.

Re: “Best Radio Personality

How it must chap your collective liberal asses that he wins again. I may not agree with everything he says, but I'll be damned if his brand of humor mixed with insight doesn't shine a proverbial ray of hope into changing this liberal utopia your ilk so desperately wants, to a thriving city.

Re: “Best Wings

WINGSTOP? Are you fucking kidding? Rocco's wings are so many millions of times better. You should send a postcard with a picture of a sobbing disfigured orphan to each and every nincompoop who voted for that soggy corporate disaster.

Re: “Best Backpacking Trail

That's beautiful writing :) I'm in Boston and we don't have as many of the vistas you have in the southwest. Will have to go backpacking there someday!
