225 Magazine just released their nomination form for their annual Best of 225 Awards which highlights people's favorites restaurants, shops, and personalities in Baton Rouge. Please take a moment of your time to fill out the nomination form, which I have linked below. You may fill in the form with the people and places of your choosing, and please feel free to contact me if you need some ideas about restaurants, but I'm asking for special consideration in a couple categories:
1) Best Blogger/Columnist - Jay Ducote of biteandbooze.com. How great would it be if I was nominated for this? I would really appreciate your support!
2) Best Steak - Fleming's. My buddy Eusebio (most of you know him) is the Sous Chef at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar, and does AMAZING work. If you've never been, you should!
3) Best Sandwich and/or Best New Restaurant - Jimmy John's. My friend Kyle recently opened up the only Jimmy John's in Louisiana on Perkins Road. You should definitely stop by for a sandwich and tell him that Bite and Booze sent you! One day last week he gave everybody that said that a 10% discount!
4) Best Visual Artist - Hannah Lane. Hannah is an amazing painter and operates out of her studio right here in Baton Rouge. Her work can be seen all over the city... and she is an amazing person!

I nominate Sweet Wishes Gourmet Cupcake Shoppe on Perkins Road in Baton Rouge for best dessert! Why? Sweet Wishes offers and delivers the Very Best confections I have ever had! When you think cupcakes, you probably think kids and birthday parties, etc. Sweet Wishes does ALL of that. However they have a very sophisticated and delectable menu of adult flavors that satisfy like few other delicacies that have crossed my palate! A recent article about Sweet Wishes described their cupcakes as confection perfection. Indeed!
ReplyDeleteHowever, I also look at what Sweet Wishes Does in the community. Every time I turn around they are donating product or services to local churches and charities. They have a very active following in the community due to holistic goodness! I’m told they have a very active social media engagement with contests almost daily and they have a very strong reputation in the community at large. And isn’t what this is all about? Not only offering a superior product that satisfies on so many different levels, but leadership and community in these trying times. Not bad for two former social workers who decided to express themselves with things that make you smile!
