Cast Your Vote in Connecticut Magazine Readers' Choice Restaurant Awards

Connecticut Magazine is once again reaching out to food lovers statewide and asking them to name their best restaurants for a Readers' Choice feature. Last year, in voting that took place in the fall for a story published online and then in the January 2014 magazine, the list of winners was dominated by Fairfield County hotspots—which Connecticut Magazine thinks was thanks in large part to all of you, our CTbites audience, which saw news of the readers' choice survey here and hungrily clicked and voted.

Can we do it again? Voting on the Connecticut magazine website has been live for a couple of weeks, and our sources there are so far seeing the opposite of last year's trends, with restaurants across Connecticut getting lots of votes. VOTE HERE!

In the past few days, Bear's Smokehouse, which is establishing its primary location in Hartford, and Goodfellas in New Haven, have prompted their fans to almost hijack the voting. We can't stand for that in Fairfield County, can we? Here's where you can vote and sway the tide, and for inspiration, see the January 2014 results.
