excited to get started planning next year’s campaign. I realize the instant people learn of the winners, I’ll get email from people mad because they didn’t win an award. They’ll say it’s not fair or that they wished they would have known about the Best of the Weekly. The only response I can say to that is that I wish they read or paid attention to our publications.

FOOD&DINING Best Bakery: Odalys Bakery Some of the most beautiful and delicious pastries come from Odalys Bakery. A few of the favorites include tres leches cake, flan cake, empanada and butterfly cookies. They can custom-make cakes, but mostly it’s a self-service haven for the sweet-toothed fans of authentic Spanish bakeries. They only accept cash, though. 4404 E. Independence Blvd.
Right: Sonny’s BBQ offered a St. Louis rib dinner for $8.89 in honor of its founder’s 89th birthday last year. South Charlotte Weekly readers love the chain’s barbecue and catering. Photo courtesy of Sonny’s BBQ
Best Barbecue: Sonny's BBQ This menu is stacked with fall-off-the bone ribs, to barbecue chicken, pulled pork sandwiches and famous sides like krinkle-cut fries, fried okra, mac and cheese and redneck egg rolls. Sonny’s mouth-watering wings come in dry rub, smoked or slathered with your favorite sauce. Try their limited edition Smoke and Fire menu items before they’re gone. Multiple locations Best Breakfast: Metro Diner Chicken and waffles, huevos rancheros or the 12inch pancake plate are just some of the breakfast dishes that dazzle at Metro Diner. They also serve scrumptious waffles, omelets and the decadent cinnamon roll pancake. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner all day and are open every day of the year except for Christmas. Multiple locations Best Caterer: Sonny's BBQ When you need someone to cater your next outing, and whether it’s for 10 or 100 people, Sonny’s has the perfect solution. From plates of pulled pork to sampler plates that feature their decadent chicken and finger-licking ribs, you can’t go wrong. Sonny’s offers pick-up, delivery or they will come to your event set up and serve. Multiple locations Best Asian Food: Co Co’s menu is bright, vibrant and full of bold flavors from Southeast Asia that has something for everyone’s taste. Explore new dishes from pho to banh mi or taste familiar ones like noodles and sushi. Perhaps give the Thai Basil Chicken or Drunken Thai Noodles a chance on your next visit. Also, their hand-crafted cocktails pair great with the food. Waverly (7416 Waverly Walk Ave.) & Park Road (4201 Park Road, Suite D) Best Date Night: Good Food on Montford Right when you step foot inside, the warm brick colors seem to invite you to sit down and stay a while. The menu has great selection, and the small plates make it easy to share whether on your first date or out for a kid-free evening with your spouse. There are plenty of local beers to choose from and the wine list is extensive. 1701 Montford Drive Best Burger Joint: Five Guys You know you’re walking into a burger and fry joint right away when you see the bags of potatoes and the fresh-cut steaming hot french fries made to perfection with their double-dip frying method. But the hand-crafted burgers are what make you come back. Dripping with juice, cheese and toppings. The bacon cheeseburger, with two patties, bacon and American cheese is always a hit. South (2201 South Blvd.), SouthPark (4400 Sharon Road) & Ballantyne (9820 Rea Road) Best Wings: The Lodge All of the cuisine at The Lodge is exceptional, but when it comes to wings, this is the place to be. Cooked to golden perfection, the wings come in orders of six, nine or a dozen. They are served with house-made bleu cheese or ranch, celery and come in unique flavors like hot honey, Asian, yellow barbecue or just get them hot. 7725 Colony Road Best Ice Cream: Ben & Jerry's The smell of freshly made waffle cones is what first hits you, but then there’s the selection of that smooth world-famous Ben & Jerry's ice cream. There are the standards like Chunky Monkey and Cherry Garcia, but always some sinfully chocolatey choices such as the New York Super Fudge Chunk. Get a scoop or cone or carry-out pints. 7800 Fairview & 507 Providence roads
Best Italian: Oggi Ristorante Italiano Made with love and hand-selected premium ingredients, Oggi Ristorante Italiano is a celebration of Italian food made with love. The gorgeous avocado and chickpea dip is the perfect starter, and the entrees sizzle with selections such as homemade salmon risotto, N.C. mountain trout or veal picatta. Oggi Ristorante Italiano is open seven days a week. 16646 Hawfield Way Drive, Suite 101 Best Lunch Spot: Firebirds Wood Fired Grill Firebirds Wood Fired Grill is an American-themed steakhouse and restaurant known for its scratch kitchen and bold flavors. Signature menu items including handcut, aged steaks and fresh seafood such as the Seared Tuna Superfood Salad, fish and shrimp tacos and the popular Sesame Encrusted Salmon entrée.

Best Pizzeria: Brooklyn Pizza Parlor A true New York-style pizzeria, the Brooklyn Pizza Parlor serves up over 75 years of cooking experience into every bite. The mouth-watering, thin-crust pizza comes in specialty pies, such as the Buffalo Wing Pizza or keep it simple with The New York Original. They also have stuffed pizzas, calzones, delicious wings, heroes and a long list of apps. 7725 Colony Road Best Steakhouse: Firebirds Wood Fired Grill Already the winner of the best lunch category, Firebirds Wood Fired Grill is famous for its 21-day aged steaks that are cut inhouse and hardwood grilled to perfection. Some popular choices include the Blue Cheese Filet, Aged Ribeye or the mouth-watering Chile Rubbed Delmonico. Your server will match the perfect wine, beer or cocktail with your selection. SouthPark (3920 Sharon Road) & Stonecrest (7716 Rea Road)
Left: Firebirds Wood Fired Grill’s The Impossible Durango Burger is one of several new menu items through July 30. Photo courtesy of Firebirds
Best Sandwich Shop: McAlister's Deli The handcrafted, 13-layer McAlister’s Club is just the tip of the iceberg for what sandwiches stand out on a menu loaded with soups, salads, spuds, shareables and sides. There are an assortment of clubs, wraps and other sandwiches on a variety of fresh-baked breads, but you can’t go wrong with the Horseradish Roast Beef and Cheddar or the
BLT & fresh Avocado. Multiple locations Best Seafood: Bonefish Grill Right off the bat, Bonefish Grill gets you in the mood for seafood with starters like Bang Bang Shrimp and Maryland-style Crab see DINING, Page 2B

Best General Contractor: Paragon Specialty Contracting Quality work, done right. It seems like a simple mantra, but many contractors in Charlotte fall short. Recent projects include a few sets of custom built-ins, a reclaimed wood project that turned into seating and chairs for a breakfast nook. Whatever the job, the results are always fantastic. Charlotte (704-582-1478)
Best Heating and Cooling: DB Mechanical Heating and Cooling People don’t think about their HVAC system much before it’s too late and it breaks down, usually at the worst time. Don’t let that happen.
