Each year the various Edible Communities publications host the Local Hero awards in their various communities to award the best in locally produced food and beverage. This year's winners:

Farm/Farmer: Carol Ann Sayles and Larry Butler of Boggy Creek Farm
Restaurant/Chef: Mark Paul and Eric Polzer (Wink)
Food Artisan: Jesse Griffiths (Dai Due Supper Club & Butcher Shop)
Beverage Artisan: Joe Eifler and David Alan (TipsyTexan.com)

Congrats to all of the winners! We humbly thank all of you who voted for us, since this year we forgot to beg/bribe all of our friends and family to vote, and I even forgot to vote for myself.
