wow i must have missed that when i read it .i found the whole thing to be a joke for the most part ...

What? Over tsing tsao?

That's Des Moines for ya. I'm sure McDonald's won best hamburger and Olive Garden won best Italian food as well. :)

Oh man, I totally miss Hy-Vee Chinese!

tsing tsao was runner up on chinese.

best italian actually went to latin king... and best burger was b-bops. haha. *facepalm*

that is both awesome and sad as hell at the same time. Sorry dude!

are you serious? Wow... that's completely messed. Who's judging this?

I don't know about atmosphere but the actual food is fantastic. Don't hate on hy-vee chinese.

Reallyyyyy?! RT @broox: hy-vee won best chinese restaurant in des moines... wtf, dudes.

who polled this?!

@ ellen ... basically anyone that takes the time to vote .... they did not publicize it very well ... my friends bar won best new bar last year & didnt even know the polling had begun for it
