On Wednesday, the celebration of the 2016 Best of SRQ Local Competition officially kicked-off with a party at SRQ Studios. Congratulating the winners and finalists of our annual readers' choice competition, friends and clients of SRQ Media gathered to view advance copies of the April edition of SRQ, which hits newsstands on April 1st. Guests enjoyed samples from some of our recognized local brands, like S'macks Burgers and Shakes, who won the Best Local Fries category for the second year running, and an assortment of beautiful sushi from JPan Restaurant, which won Best Local Sushi. Making their debut in the competition was The Clever Cup Coffee Shop, brining in a finalist showing for Best Local Coffee. Guests enjoyed samples of their Ethiopian Blend brew. We can't wait for our readers to get the full scoop on this year's winners and finalists in every category. Stay tuned for a post on Inside The Brand about the rest of the event and a photo gallery.
