Sure we all chipped in to help Spies and Stackhouse in the chase for best burger, now help my restaurant win best veggie fare in Richmond VA. The best part is that we won best burger in richmond last year and now we are up for best veggie. Thats a big reason why 821 cafe is so special, we have something for everyone! Hook us up fellow DMF'rs!

I think I voted - I didn't find a clear voting link.
I had to look around a bit on the page as it's not obvious -- the voting is in a right-hand sidebar. You know, where they usually put ads for you to ignore!
Voted - 821 is in the top third with 22 votes, but first place is at 60. Get to it!
Yep - right side bar.
Though I've not had veggie fare there the breakfast foods are yummy!
Up to 39. I posted on a couple of other forums for you too. [evil]
821 is in the top 3.
Voted proudly as a DMF'er and a Vegetarian. Good Luck! [thumbsup]

Done.
I passed the link to the survey to a friend of mine that rides a Kawi sportbike down there...she is a cool veg-head whom is part of one of the local beer clubs....she and I crewed the Avon 2 Day Breast Cancer Walk together and she is a cool chica who has only been to the cafe a couple times, and thought reasonably well of the place and was surprised by the beer selection...
Tell her about bike night on Tuesday's . We watch the previous week moto racing at 7, have beer specials and some people go on a ride!
Voted.
821's in the lead big time ;D
Voted. I'm down in Richmond all the time to visit in-laws and all of them are vegetarians, so we'll have to come by and check the place out sometime.

ya know....I call em out on this bullshit....this is just fugged up on multiple levels...
I'm not clear which part you're more upset about: that you were robbed of the win or you were described as a hipster hotspot. The first is bad. The second is cruel.
Complete BS. I checked it after the poll had closed and you were in front. RECOUNT.
Maybe the Kabob Grille had more friends on an online special-interest forum who were willing to vote (even if they never actually ate there) them as best vegetarian fare? Just sayin. At least you got some publicity as runner-up!
Hey we stuffed the hell out of that ballot box and won fair and square!!!
My Comment:
I could have sworn that 821 was winning by over 100 votes shortly before the polls closed. Maybe advertising dollars had something to do with it or a relationship between Kabab Grill's ownership and this publication? Either way, we all know who truly won. New title: "Best Richmond Vegetarian Farce: Your Votes Won't Really Count".
