THE RESULTS ARE IN!
After nearly half-a-million votes, we’ve got the final tally of who came out on top.
We’re happy to finally unveil all the best this city has to offer! This year, you, the readers and voters, highlighted all the popular spots we’ve all grown to love, familiar faces who have consistently achieved excellence, and of course, a few new places that have changed the way we go about our lives in Central Ohio. We’ve had our hands full tallying the totals, crossing our T’s, and dotting our I’s.
But, without further ado, this is your definitive list of the champions of Columbus.
This is ColumBEST.
