Best of 2011 Contest

The Westerly Sun is running its annual Best of 2011 contest to judge the best local eating places.

You can vote once a day, every day, between now and July 20th. To vote, you need to register with the Sun (free). The side benefit to registering is that you can also comment on various Sun articles.

Our own Charlestown socially-responsible pizza joint, K&S Pizza, sent us an e-mail asking Charlestown supporters to pump up the vote. Given their menu of locavore specialties and their new local catch seafood menu, that sounds like a fair request.


The Sun's "Best of " poll asks you to choice your favorite in six categories:

• Burgers
• Chowdah
• Coffee
• Ice Cream
• Pizza and
• Seafood

I'm disappointed at the omission of Clam Cakes as a category, as I would love to pump the vote for the Hitching Post's take on my favorite Rhode Island treat.

Since the contest is in the Sun, our Charlestown favorites - the Cove, Hungry Haven, Breachway Grill, Kit Kat BBQ, Gentleman Farmer, and Small Axe Cafe.

So vote early and vote often.
