THE 2008 BEST IN FRANKLIN-AREA DINING SURVEY

By Kevin Fischer
Sunday, May 18 2008, 09:00 PM

Today I’m announcing the 2nd Best Dining in the Franklin-area Survey, with the winners to be chosen by you, the readers of “This Just In.”

Inspired by similar surveys conducted by Milwaukee Magazine and OnMilwaukee.com, I’m out to engage readers in a public service to showcase the best in our community.

This project comes at a time when there’s a buzz about future retail developments in Franklin and the anticipation of bigger and better things to come. My goal is to recognize and acknowledge the quality establishments we have in and around Franklin.

The success of this endeavor depends solely upon your input and participation. Feel free to pass this along to others you know. The more votes cast, the more representative the survey will be. There are over 20 categories with some news ones to cast your votes in. Here are the rules and guidelines, followed by a ballot you can copy and paste and send to me to have your vote counted.

RULES/INSTRUCTIONS FOR “BEST DINING IN THE FRANKLIN-AREA” SURVEY

1) The survey is open to anyone, no matter where they live.
2) One vote per person per category. There is no limit of voters per household. (If 4 people live in a household, 4 separate votes will be allowed.)
3) Deadline for entries will be Saturday June 14, 2007.
4) Copy and paste ballot (see below) and e-mail to me. The link to e-mail me is next to my photo on my blog.
5) You do not have to vote in each category. You may vote in all categories or the categories of your choice.
6) You can vote for the same place in more than one category.
7) Please feel free to add any comments about your selections that may be included in the final story.
8) Selections must be limited to restaurants in the Franklin-area. For purposes of this survey, that includes Franklin, Greendale, Greenfield, Oak Creek, and Hales Corners.
9) I will post a winner and a runner-up for each category.


Thank you for participating.

Kevin,

This is a very tough decision.  I will put forth a huge effort to participate in this survey; however, at first glance and based on my experience the best eating and drinking is outside Franklin's borders.  To come up with my suggestions inside our borders will be very difficult.

That is one of the conclusions that can be drawn, and was from last year's survey. 

It does take some thought, but can be done.
