I was hoping Ed would win so he could show me more of my city's best eats. I guess the objective here is to give Richmond's food scene more exposure (and promote tourism?) and the city decided that to extend their reach choosing two non-locals would be ideal. I mean they probably think that locals will probably eat at many of these places regardless since we live here and the local bloggers will... keep blogging anyways.

Btw KingDeeCee, you can't say its premeditated and rigged because it was clear from the start that only the top voted person would be guaranteed a spot in the final round (not the 2nd and 3rd runner up). Ultimately, the city has its bigger objectives and is entitled to best decide how to fulfill it. Tourist $$ = benefits BC economy.
