FINALIST IN BEST BREAKSFASTfor 2013

FAMILYHOUSE~ PANCAKE ~ I am very excited to present the winners and finalists of this first time

readers’ choice awards in partnership with the Bremerton Chamber of Commerce. The Best of Bremerton is a reflection of businesses and people in the community that have made a positive impact on residents in the area who have taken the time to vote on various categories and to showcase the Best of Bremerton.

From the best burgers and mexican food to massage therapists and local artists, there are more than 50 categories showcasing the area’s best as voted on by readers of the Bremerton Patriot in this year’s contest.

Special thanks go out to Fred Meyer, Les Schwab Tires, Outback Steak-house and El Balcon Mexican Restaurant, for partnering with the Patriot and the Bremerton Chamber of Commerce to present the Best of Bremer-ton reader’s choice awards.

Congratulations to this year’s winners and finalists. Now it’s time to get your pens and pencils out and start making a list of places to try that you may not have already.

Personally, I’m looking forward to expanding my list of favorite foods in Bremerton. And remember, always shop locally first. Your dollar goes a lot farther than you might think when it stays in the local economy.

Enjoy!
