Generally the french side is under-represented in these polls, especially the restaurants.

Looking through all the results, they did seem to be a bit more true this year than they have been in the past, other than the lack of representation of the french side. As someone else said, it's the best of the Dutch side. I still don't get Pizza Galley though... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />

SXM??? Wendell Perhaps, but friends from Maho Pharmacy, Top Carrot, Loterie Farm, Sarafina's do not need the publicity. Believe me. Talk about infomercial, I don't watch football but that is one big infomercial & a comedy this year with inflated footballs. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

When Ruby Tuesday wins second place in the Best Gourmet Restaurant category, you know you're in trouble!

And I have to say, not my favorites but many on TTOL rave about many of the restaurants ( Dutch side )that were listed as popular in the Daily Herald. That says something too I would guess. Life today is one big advertisement isn't it? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

As far as the French side is concerned, I didn't get around to voting this year, so I don't know how it was set up this year. Anyone that voted, could you write in a choice, or did you have to choose from a list? It seems to me that I remember in the past you could not write in any choices, but the DH just made a list for you to choose from? It seems the french side is always way under-represented in these polls though.

I've never had a Domino's pizza while on the island, but if it's anything like our local Domino's, I can't see how it finished #2, which means it finished ahead of La Belle Epoque, Le Piment, Orange Fever, Mama Pizza, Villa Pizza and many others. Maybe we'll try a Domino's this year, just for comparison's sake.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.
