Utica foods

I've never seen so many lead changes in a week-long contest before but I shouldn't be surprised as if there's one thing Uticans dig, it's food! After the dust settled this morning, Carmella's barely edged out our best greens winner

Regina sent a half-tray of the Bella Regina (formerly Cafe Bella Mia) riggies for us to try on the air lemme tell ya: the response here at the station was outstanding.

Mike Ezzo wears many hats, restaurant owner, decorated pilot, food connoisseur and just a plain nice guy. We were privileged to have him stop by  the station with a batch of his Carmella's Cafe riggies

The nominations are in and now it's time to vote for the Best of Utica RIGGIES!

Welcome to the second food of the Best of Utica where we're trying to find out who makes your favorite staple foods better than anyone else!

I've never seen so many lead changes in a week-long contest before but I shouldn't be surprised as if there's one thing Uticans dig, it's food! After the dust settled this morning, Raspberries emerged victorious with just over 40% of the 11,300+ votes cast!

I was expecting Papa Joe to walk in, but turns out there is no Papa Joe, or rather he is in fact several people, two of which I met today: the owner, Bob Markeson and his head chef, Brian Strilka.

The nominations are in and now it's time to vote for the Best of Utica GREENS!

Welcome to the first week of the Best of Utica where we're trying to find out who makes our favorite staple foods better than anyone else!
