❗️ATTENTION PLEASE⚠️

Dear Finalists,

Since we launched our nominations four months ago, we have been overwhelmed by the immense response from individuals like you and your customers who took the time to recommend various restaurants for recognition.

However, the unfolding economic challenges have brought to light the harsh realities faced by many restaurants. We couldn't help but express our genuine surprise at the number of businesses that have unfortunately shut down during this period.

While we initially anticipated a vibrant pool of nominees to consider, the impact of the ongoing economic fluctuations has been far-reaching. This has presented us with unique challenges in validating and verifying the nominations we've received. We understand the importance of conducting thorough due diligence to ensure that we give recognition to the most deserving businesses, given the current circumstances.

Our team is working diligently to assess each nomination carefully. We understand the significance of our responsibility in fostering an environment that celebrates the perseverance and dedication of businesses that have stood the test of time.

Rest assured, our commitment to this process remains unwavering. We want to guarantee that every business under consideration receives a fair evaluation, reflecting their true merits and achievements.

We sincerely thank you for your understanding and patience during this period of verification and due diligence.
