Thank you for your votes! Another year has
passed and the votes have been counted. After
weeks of sorting, counting and verifying thousands
of ballots in 183 categories, the 16th annual readers
poll is complete.
Readers had
two ways to vote
for their favorite
businesses in 2010.
Ballots were avail-
able at the Caller-
Times Best of
the Best Show-
case in October
at the American
Bank Center and
through ballots
placed in three is-
sues of the Caller-
Times in late Sep-
tember and early
October.
The top vote
recipient in each
c a t e gor y h a s
been selected as
the Caller-Times Best of the Best No. 1 and
the next highest vote-getters have been named
Readers Choice and are listed in alphabetical
order.
We have added some new categories and
eliminated some that did not get enough voter
attention. Remember, the Best of the Best win-
ners are selected by our readers, not by the staf
of the Caller-Times.
We are always looking for new and exciting
categories to add in next years contest.
We continue to take the necessary steps to
disqualify ballot stuf ng by businesses that try
to win a particular category unfairly. It is impor-
tant to remember that this is a reader fun con-
test. It does not have any bearing on the success
of a business, nor does it have any endorsement
by the Caller-Times. These are businesses that
readers have chosen, and the results are nal.
This is a readers poll for entertainment value
and nothing else.
This section contains all the names of win-
ners in each category. We encourage you to sup-
port ALL businesses in the Corpus Christi area,
not just the winners in this section.
We thank you for your votes and your contin-
ued support of this annual poll.
