Yes, we're really giving prizes this time.
For the quality and--more importantly--quantity of comments that made their way into the non-winners list this year, the following readers have earned some top-notch (the phrase is relative) prizes. We have a collection of cookbooks published this year, as well as a few other bits. We'll list them after the jump.
Third prize winner gets to choose one item, second prize picks two and the winner can select three.
So, the winners (if that, indeed, is the right word):
Third: bruce
Second: DallasDude
First: TLS
To find out how to pick up the prizes (and see the choices), you'll have to continue reading after the jump--a feature demanded by our web editor, who fall asleep at night counting pageviews...although he generally stops somewhere around 37--40 on a good week.
Winners: you'll have to email me ([email protected]) to confirm identity and set a time to come by our office (on the lovely, tree-lined corner of Oak Lawn and Maple). That's all. We'll have the prizes at the front desk.
