Edible Orlando readers are vocal—thousands of you voted in our first “Best of Edible Orlando” awards. Passionate about great food and where it comes from, you also have a thing or two to say about cool T-shirts, the top garden centers and the best “edible” beauty treatments.
All of this year’s awards were chosen by our readers through an online survey. We’re naming just the top three vote-getters in each category, but the editors weigh in with their favorites, too. You’ll spot some familiar places plus discover others that are new to you. For a full list, visit our Web site, edibleorlando.com. It’s gratifying to see the local food movement take root.
