2010 Mar 07 Last Chance to Vote in the 2010 Restaurant Awards!!

It's your last chance to vote in the Beijinger’s 7th Annual Reader Restaurant Awards - the ballot closes at the end of Monday, March 8. Thousands of votes have already been cast, so make sure you have your say. Voting is easy - just click here.
A record 191 Beijing restaurants have been nominated this year in 35 categories. The nominees were selected by a panel of 200 Beijing residents, including food experts, long-term residents, and randomly selected voters from past surveys. Each nominator was given a blank ballot and asked to choose their favorites in over 60 categories. Their picks were then distilled, the 35 most compelling and competitive categories were selected and the top 8 nominees in each category were placed on the ballot.
New categories this year include Best Contemporary Chinese, Best Chef, Best Kung Pao Chicken, Best Mediterranean and Best Tapas.
Results of the ballot will be announced mid-March.
