Vote for your favorites

It's been a lovely year so far, and our annual Best Of issue is here to continue that trend! We’re asking you, community members, to take your time to pick out some cool cats and hot dogs. Specifically, we need you to help us find the eateries, drinkeries, businesses, and people that make San Luis Obispo County so sweet—that make this a place a special sort of space.

Now isn’t the time to hold back. It's time to tag your partners in crime. So put on those goggles and that scarf, and hop into the hot seat. Fill out this ballot. Then talk to your family, friends, and neighbors—and even their pets—so you’re not the only one driving. We all hit the road at our own pace, so they need to fill out ballots of their own! Just remember, you need to complete at least 25 categories to make it into the sidecar.

Fill out this ballot by 5 p.m. on March 18. Then stay tuned to read all about the coolest, hottest winners around on May 2.

Tell everyone!

As a reminder, you don't have to finish your selections all at once. You can save your progress and return later. Just make sure to use the same credentials. Also, please try to be specific when indicating names. We want to make sure your vote counts.
