| Best lunch in a bowl series. |
Montgomery--The editors of LITG announced today that voting for the 2010 Best Lunch in the Gump poll is now underway. Posters and fans of the World's No. 1 Blog on lunching within the confines of downtown Montgomery, Alabama, a/k/a "The Gump," are invited to submit their rankings of the top-ten places they have lunched in the Gump during 2010. The votes will be tallied and published December 1, 2010, with much fanfare, pomp and circumstance.
Rules: (1) The nominee must serve lunch; (2) It must still be open; (3) It must be physically located within the Gump (see Glossary for definition); (4) The voter must have personally eaten there in 2010 and (5) the nominee must either have been reviewed at some point on the LITG blog and/or must not be a national chain restaurant (we do not like them).
How to vote: Please list as many as ten of your favorite places to have lunch in the Gump in order of preference. (For those of you from P-Vegas, this means your favorite should be listed as number 1 and you do not have to list 10 but you can't list more than 10). Unlike in Perry County, you can vote only once. Also unlike Perry County, your votes will remain anonymous.
E-mail your list to Shadowpup@lunchinthegump.com on or before November 30, 2010.
Note: Do NOT send a list for best schnitzel or best Indian restaurant or best lunch under the Tojo line. This is "Best Lunch in the Gump" regardless of cuisine, price or presence or absence of table cloths or metal cutlery. In other words, for you Stateys in the audience, the place you would go if you were on an unlimited expense account and had two hours for lunch.
The highest ranked eatery will receive the much coveted "Best Lunch of the Year" award from LITG and perhaps a visit by the entire LITG entourage if you are lucky (or you buy off the Carp---just kidding. Do you read me FBI? SERIOUSLY, just kidding!).
Per the LITG Glossary. "The Gump" comprises the area within the various by-passes that surround this great city. That means, for example, La Jolla does not qualify for this pretigious award i.e. they are not BCS Bowl eligible.
ReplyDeleteI guess this means Ruddles and Wishbone Cafe are out, so I ain't voting!
ReplyDeleteWe can't let the WSLC (West Shorter Lunch Conference)into the GLC!! It would upset the prestige of the BCS. That having been said, we will give "honorable mention" status to members of the WSLC.
ReplyDeleteBo Diddly - Not to take anything away from Ruddles and Wishbone -- they are fine joints. But their competition out there just can't cut it. Sisters of the Poor is what I'm talking about.

ReplyDeleteIn the words of Little Anthony and The Imperials: "I'm on the outside looking in", waiting for these results.
Yesterday, December 1, lunch was a 12" tuna on wheat in a Subway in an Exxon station near Mitylene because I didn't know where to go.
Help me, help me! I need direction! WHO or WHAT is the Best Lunch in The Gump, 2010?
