And the Winners Are . . .
When it comes to Kansas City, our readers know best. Again.
In what has become a veritable tradition, Ingram's has asked you who are the fairest of the land, and once again, you were the mirrors who gave back the answers--some the same as in previous years, some entirely new faces.
Sixteen years of listening to our readers and recording their responses have invited some changes, that's for sure. Six years ago, we expanded our questions and ranking categories far beyond the "Silver Ladle" awards for the best wining and dining venues to include additional "best of" lifestyle and business category rankings. Some of the categories have changed over the years and several categories have been tossed out altogether.
There are, however, four major categories with 70 tried-and-true subcategories that will yield more than 200 Gold, Silver and Bronze honors and plaques. Remember, our winners have been selected by a jury of the most discriminating consumers . . . so read up and enjoy what this year's "Best of Business Kansas City" competition reports.
Wining and Dining--Ingram's 16th Annual Silver Ladle Awards
What's hot, what's new, what's great? It's all here in our most heavily voted for category--because if there's anything Kansas Citians like to do, it's eat and enjoy one of the KC area's finest restaurants. If you've missed any of these fine establishments, drive, don't walk (it's the KC way) there now!
Entertainment and Culture
Cowtown has plenty to offer, for both the urbane and the less so. From the museums and galleries to the golf courses and festivals, there is much here to cultivate, and to amuse, even the most jaded.
Business Services
We showcase businesses that provide the best in a variety of services, whether they be in advertising, law, real estate or engineering. This is a large category because Kansas City companies care about how and what they deliver. Get to know which businesses provide the best business services and why.
Business Products
Which is not to say we don't care about the actual products as well! Flowers, jewelry, cars, books, whatever--our region is abundant with great products for the discerning consumer. Learn which organizations Ingram's readers judge the very best.
And what's best about all these categories is that Ingram's discerning and discriminating readers have continued to respond, and thus the competition has heated up to match the summer.
It's clear that people pay attention to your votes, want your votes, and are deliriously happy to get your votes. As they should be.
Now, sit back and enjoy your journey through the looking glass of the very best lifestyle and business treasures the Kansas City region has to offer.
