Issue: September 23, 2010
It’s Best of Chico week!
Readers submitted their votes for their favorite Chico establishments, we tallied them, wrote bios about each of the winners and put together an uber-fun package of Best Of bits. Lots of repeat winners, but some major upsets this year—for instance, who won Best Bar?? In another annual tradition, the editorial staff chose its own list of winners, compiled in the Editors’ Picks. Want to know who has the Best Hair at City Hall or which restaurant is the Best Place to Eat Bulgoki? You’ll have to read to find out.
Thanks for reading—and voting!
