Hip hop hooray!

Naughty By Nature is going to be at the Hard Rock. Yes, you read that right. The tried and true hip-hop supergroup from New Jersey will take the stage at 8 p.m.

Saturday (Feb. 24) at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City. Opening for the Grammy Award-winning group is the Sioux City hip-hop group D.A.D.

Music has a habit of running in the family.

Ned LeDoux is following in the footsteps of his father and introducing a younger audience to the music of Chris LeDoux.

All the while Ned is carrying on his father’s legacy and showing off what he can do as well. See the country music singer at 8 p.m. Friday (Feb. 23) at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City.

Bandits vs. Stampede

Have you ever wondered who would win in a game between an outdoor football team and an indoor football team?

Well, wonder no longer because it’s actually happening! It’s true! The Sioux City Bandits will be taking on the Sioux City Stampede as part of a preseason game. Did you think football was over just because we had the Super Bowl a few weeks ago? Ha! See the action at 7:05 p.m. Saturday (Feb. 24) at the Tyson Events Center.

Time for a rap battle

Well, it’s not an “8 Mile” style rap battle. It’s more like a battle of the bands featuring three rap artists. Still, that’s pretty kickass. C-Note, TJ F1gh and Bout That Life will duke it out on the Anthem stage at 8 p.m. Thursday (Feb. 22) as part of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City’s BAND6k battle of the bands competition. See you there!

Sophisticated funk

Anyone who was at the Second Stage during the 2015 Saturday in the Park remembers Sophistafunk. Sure, Fishbone was an awesome headliner, but Sophistafunk no doubt stole the show with its fresh and boogie-inducing sound. Seriously, everybody was jumping and dancing at this show. So we can only expect the same thing to happen during the band’s gig at 9 p.m. Saturday (Feb. 24) at The Marquee. Opening the show is Sioux City’s own Vibe Rations.

WINNER! WINNER! 2018 Siouxland’s Choice Awards are finally here

BY CHRISTOPHER BRAUNSCHWEIG‌

The long wait is finally over.

The 2018 Siouxland’s Choice Awards, presented by WinnaVegas Casino Resort, is The Weekender’s mainstay, annual reader’s poll to discover the best of the best in the area.

We asked readers to rate everything in this poll. Local bands, bar food, mixed drinks, laundromats, car dealerships, golf courses, yoga studios, customer service, home furnishings and more.

And this year was a doozy for categories. We practically doubled the amount we had in previous years, in addition to completely revamping the format and process in which the poll is made.

The biggest change was the

introduction of a nomination phase, which began in December.

During this time, readers were asked to vote much like they normally did in previous years.

Those votes were compiled, tallied and listed in fives for the official voting phase.

This change was to help make things more competitive. Did we come across some problems in timing? You betcha. This was definitely a learning experience for us as well.

Our ballots also changed. We grouped nominees into categories.

Again, we ran into some clarity problems that we hope to fix next year. We also really enjoyed the way people could share specific categories online for their friends to vote. That seemed to go over well.

One thing that I personally

enjoyed was the amount of feedback we got. No matter if it was good or bad, I deeply appreciated the folks who spoke up and demanded answers; whether it was an explanation of the disappearance of certain categories or a suggestion to add more categories for next year. These will no doubt help us when organizing next year’s Siouxland’s Choice Awards.

But for now, please enjoy the results. Your friends at The Weekender thank you for making this such an enjoyable experience every year.

Cheers!

champ FOUR-TIME

Roe’s Point After takes a big slice of the pie

BY EARL HORLYK‌ Do they have Buffalo wings and pepperoni pizza in Costa Rica?

Well, if we were part of the consulate of the Central American country, we’d make sure to stock up on wings, ribs and a vast assortment of bar-friendly comfort foods.

Why? Because Bob Roe will be a guest in the picturesque country for the next few weeks.

“I started going to Costa Rica about 15 years ago,” he said during a phone interview. “As much as I love Sioux City, I prefer spending my February someplace

much warmer.”

Indeed, that’s where the veteran restaurateur found out that Bob Roe’s Point After received four first-place finishes in the Siouxland Choice Awards.

The 2320 Transit Ave. eatery placed first in the appetizers, bar food, wings, and

take-out categories, while taking second place in AllAmerican food and third place in pizza.

“We’ve never taken first place for pizza,” Roe said, after hearing the results. “I don’t feel too bad since all of the (top-ranked) pizza places are locally owned.”

This is important to Roe, who celebrated his 40th anniversary in Sioux City’s pizza biz in April 2017. In case, you were keeping track, he opened Westside Pizza (1200 W. Fourth St.) in 1977; Point After in 1982; and the North End Zone

“We’re a locally owned business with three generations of the same family in charge of it,”

FROM 11 (4100 Floyd Blvd.) about six years ago.

“We’re a locally owned business with three generations of the same family in charge of it,” Roe said, proudly pointing out that his daughter Teri Rexius manages Point After while grandsons Jeremy and Jason Houser manage North End Zone.

“Not only that, many of the kitchen staff have been with us 20 or 30 years,” he said. “Plus we’ve had at least three generations of customers come through our doors.”

Rexius confirmed his assessment.

“Our original customers are now parents or grandparents,” she said. “We’re very happy to see them come back year after year.”

TIM HYNDS, THE WEEKENDER

Bob Roe calls the Point After a “family friendly sports bar.”

He says it remains a popular place for young athletes to celebrate after a game.

Roe has a theory why he’s been able to retain a steady customer base in a highly competitive field.

“We’ve always been more of a family restaurant than a bar,” he said. “You can bring your kids here and not have

to worry.”

In addition, The Point After has a very consistent menu of All-American favorites. From hot beef sandwiches to specialty burgers to pizzas that are either traditional (the classic combo

comes with pepperoni, Canadian bacon, sausage, hamburger and a bunch of veggies) or weird (though the Reuben pizza is better then you think), Roe know what his customers like.

“People know what to expect when they come here,” Roe said. “They will get excellent service and delicious food.”

But will Roe’s loyal customers soon be seeing an unusually tan and relaxed owner?

“Well, I’ve been spending most of my time on a beach in Costa Rica,” Roe said.

“Hopefully, I’ll come back to Sioux City with a bit of a tan.”

master Jackson Street’s Winslow wins

BY EARL HORLYK‌ Dave Winslow doesn’t mind becoming the Dr. Frankenstein of the world of craft beers.

“I certainly enjoy playing the part of a mad scientist when coming up with new beers,” the Jackson Street Brewing Co.’s owner and chief brewer said inside his 607 Fifth St. tap room.

“That’s still fun for me.”

A former middle school science teacher who began his career as a TV meteorologist, Winslow is uniquely qualified for his current role.

Brewing Co. is taking home a first-place finish as the Siouxland’s Choice Award for top brewery.

“This is nice recognition for a lot of hard work,” Winslow said. “It hasn’t always been smooth sailing for us.”

Indeed, he remembered his first year in business was especially nerve-wracking.

“While the crafty beer was blowing up in other parts of Iowa, Sioux City was still a relatively untapped market.”

That meant he had to

“I’ve been doing this long enough that I can anticipate what flavors pair well with each other,” he explained.

“However, you’ll never know all there is to know about beer.”

Winslow FROM 13 become part-salesman as well as part-science nerd for his new style of suds.

As soon as a customer walks into Jackson Street Brewing Co. he will see an ever-changing menu board of brews that have a short taste description in addition to an Alcohol by Volume (AVB) measure.

For instance, a Jackson Street Brewing Co.’s Honey Wheat Beer (made with Sue Bee Honey) is a light, easydrinking beer with a relatively low 4.6 percent AVB. By contrast, Winslow’s barrel-aged Chocolate Cherry Stout (made with dark chocolate and bitter cherries) has a whopping 11.4 ABV. A nice, middle-of-theroad beer is the Berry Bomb Sour. This is made with sour

“I never wanted Jackson Street Brewing Co. to be your typical bar. I wanted to start a business where customers could experiment and expand their palates.”

DAVE WINSLOW raspberry, sour cherry and aronia. Tipping the ABV scale at 6.8 percent, Winslow said this beer has a pleasantly funky taste.

Something tasting funky, huh. That’s a good thing, right?

“Absolutely,” Winslow said. “Our Berry Bomb Sour is a perfect way to venture into even more sour types of beers.”

Looking at the Jackson Street Brewing Co.’s crowd on an early Thursday evening, Winslow said he’s satisfied with his steady stream of customers.

“I never wanted Jackson Street Brewing Co. to be your typical bar,” he said. “I wanted to start a business

where customers could experiment and expand their palates.”

OK, what sort of beer is just over the horizon for Winslow? New England India Pale Ale (IPA), he said.

“A New England IPA is very hoppy and hazy,” Winslow said. “When you look at it, it will be cloudy. When you taste it, it will be packed with fruity, floral notes.”

Sounds good to us.

“Everybody has a taste preference and there is no hard and fast rules when it comes to drinking beer,” Winslow said. “I like experimenting and, hopefulTIM HYNDS, THE WEEKENDER ly, come up with beers that Looking over sampler glasses of his beer, Jackson Street Brewing’s Dave Winslow said will satisfy a large number customers are looking for lighter brews in the spring and summer. of tastes.”

Danika Nieto

MAKES SURE HER CLIENTS LOOK GOOD AND FEEL GOOD

BY CHRISTOPHER BRAUNSCHWEIG‌

Danika Nieto loves her clients at Leeds Beauty Salon like they were members of her own family.

And that’s not too hard to imagine. Spend enough years going to the same barber or hair stylist and you’re bound to feel that way. Think about how many times you’ve spilled the beans about family drama or bragged about your kids’ accomplishments (or vented about how they never pick up after themselves).

Nieto is as personable as they come. But there’s more to being the best “Barber/ Beautician” than just the inchair chit-chat. It helps to have experience, and Nieto has 18 years under her belt; seven years of which have been spent at Leeds Beauty Salon.

THREE CHEERS (AND WINS) FOR

Midlands

BY CHRISTOPHER BRAUNSCHWEIG‌

Out of the three Siouxland’s Choice Award wins Midlands Clinic PC and Midlands Cosmetic, Dermatology & Plastic Surgery and earned this year, only one was addressed to a specific doctor.

That doctor is Dr. Michelle Daffer, who began practice in 2004.

Daffer secured the win best “Dermatology” in The Weekender’s annual reader poll.

Interestingly enough, when Daffer began working at Midlands almost 14 years ago, the clinic didn’t have dermatology. She had to start it from scratch. With a good number of providers on board and plenty of

patients to serve, Daffer is happy to see the progress Midlands has made in the area.

“It’s been, for me, a great thing that’s happened over the last 14 years,” she said.

Coming in second place for “Dermatology” was Daffer’s fellow MD, Dr. Indy Chabra. Given that and Midland’s wins for “Skin Care” and “Plastic/Cosmetic Surgery,” it’s safe to say the services both facilities are

providing are welcomed by Siouxlanders.

The win for “Plastic/ Cosmetic Surgery” is an extra surprise for Dr. Laura McNaughton, who has only been working at the clinic for six months. Before she joined the Midlands team, McNaughton was in residency doing her training.

“I think I joined a group where I have a certain vision for my practice, and thankfully my partners are very supportive of that,” said McNaughton, who is Midlands’ only plastic surgeon.

Daffer said Midlands provides the full gamut of skin care treatment.

Trust plays a big factor in what keeps clients attached to specific cosmetologists.

“There’s a lot of trust built in our relationships,” said Nieto.

She added that talking with clients helps build that trust.

Nieto said she still has clients from when she first began working at Leeds Beauty Salon.

“I actually have several clients from the very first year of doing hair,” she said. “They are very, very loyal. It feels really good.

There have been some times where they reminded me of when I was just learning. They still stuck by my side.”

On average, Nieto sees about 10 to 20 clients per day; she works four to five days a week at Leeds Beauty Salon.

Compared to the other hair salons in town, Nieto said customers enjoy the shop’s relaxed atmosphere.

“It’s very friendly and homey,” she said. “They feel very secure to be able to talk

about anything. It’s been a salon here for over 30 years.

There are a lot of wonderful hair salons out there, but I think a lot of people like having that small community.

It’s had a good reputation for many years.”

Having a connection seems to be important to customers.

Nieto still has a connection to one of the cosmetologists she used to frequent years and years ago.

“One of the girls that had to do my hair when I was younger I’m still connected to on social media,” she said.

“I still look up to her. You definitely have a connection with your clients. They are my family. They know about mine, I know about theirs.

“It’s not just a job. It’s something I look forward to doing every day. You make people feel good. They look good, they feel good. That’s why I do what i do.”

“Not only do we do cosmetic procedures, but we also treat rashes and acne and we treat skin cancers,” said Daffer.

“One of the really cool things, too, is that we have a really integrated group with specialties all under one roof.”

So if Daffer thinks a patient needs additional treatment, Midlands has the specialists to provide it. For instance, Daffer continued, Midlands’ melanoma patients probably “get treated faster here at this clinic than anywhere in the country because we have surgeons that can do some of the surgeries.”

The Midlands Team supports each other’s work, as well as their visions of care, which is partly why McNaughton feels so at home at the

clinic.

“What I’ve noticed about my partners are that these are people who want to support standard of care medicine, they’re honest and they’re looking to elevate the level of care in this community,” said McNaughton. “I’ve found a good home here with people who have like-minded vision.”

Daffer said, “The people working here at Midlands, a lot of it is the providers, but also some of the mid-levels, too, and our nurses and staff – ultimately, what it comes down to is that we are striving to care for the patient. We’re always thinking about how can we better serve our patients. Sometimes it’s not easier for us, but it’s better for our patients.”

Battery Park is distinct in that its shows are more out in the open and available for all ages.

“It’s a good amenity for Hard Rock,” said Streeter. “It’s outside. We’re downtown in Sioux City. It’s a cool atmosphere. I love watching shows there.”

Given Sioux City’s unique placement between Omaha and Sioux Falls, Streeter said there’s a lot of competition to look out for regionally as well as locally. With the win for best “Entertainment Venue” under its belt, it’s safe to say Hard Rock’s work is certainly getting noticed by Siouxlanders.

Is there one reason as to why Hard Rock is getting noticed? Not necessarily.

However, Streeter credits both venues’ access to multiple genres as a possible reasoning.

LOCAL ROCK/METAL BAND | Would You Kindly?

BY CHRISTOPHER BRAUNSCHWEIG‌

PROVIDED

Typically, the Siouxland’s Choice Awards voters opt to honor the same winners every year. In the years I’ve been involved at The Weekender, The Kelly Quinn Band usually takes home the gold. Now that the group is retired, it was only fitting that a new band wins the best “Local Rock/ Metal Band” award.

And Would You Kindly? is about as new as they come.

This local group is made up of vocalist Hunter Milner, bassist Elijah Carrier, guitarist Andy Copple and drummer Jakob Dirks. The Weekender spoke to Milner, Carrier and Copple about what the group has done to achieve this most recent win: You guys won out over other fairly established bands. What’s that feel like to get that kind of recognition?

Copple: It’s a little unreal, actually, considering we’re one of the youngest bands in the scene, that I could think of at least.

Milner: When something like this happens — like Andy said — it’s unreal. It’s kind of hard to wrap your head around that, but it happened.

It’s a good feeling. It’s kind of like the same feeling we got last fall when we got first

just experimented with a lot of different sounds and genres with our music. We’ll throw everything at a song and see what sticks. That’s how we’ve made some of our better songs in the past year.

Milner: It helps we all have completely different music tastes for the most part, too. I feel like a lot of times it makes it really difficult for us to sit down and agree on one certain thing. But when we actually do agree on that one certain thing — since it’s something we all agreed on — it’s something we all love and ends up turning out better.

LOCAL COUNTRY/ACOUSTIC BAND | In Due Time “To do the battle of the bands and showcase our originals was so fun. It was exciting to play what we’ve written together and get a really cool response. ”

BY CHRISTOPHER BRAUNSCHWEIG‌

For having only been a band for about a year, In Due Time’s Risty Bryce says he’s humbled to see his group win this year’s Siouxland’s Choice Award for best “Local Country/Acoustic Band.”

The three-piece consists of singer and guitarist Amber Anderson-Britton, bassist Jeremy Cameron and Bryce on drums. The Weekender spoke to Bryce on the band’s recent win: In Due Time marked your return to the music scene. What’s it feel like to be back?

Bryce: Really, really cool. When I left the scene, I don’t even know if there was a Siouxland’s Choice or anything like that. We just went and played. To be recognized by your peers after coming back into the music scene with everyone — I know it’s kind of a special circumstance with the way I

came back into it — it’s just so fun to come back and play. I never thought I’d play in an acoustic/country band ever.

But I absolutely love it. We’re starting to write and put some things together. Hopefully within the next year we’ll be at Two Bird Dog Recording Studios to record. We plan on staying around for awhile.

The last time I saw you guys perform was at the Woods Unsigned Battle of the Bands. What was that experience like to show off your original songs and musical chops?

Bryce: Before, we were basically [playing] all originals.

This one was the first band that was more covers. To

do the battle of the bands and showcase our originals was so fun. It was exciting to play what we’ve written together and get a really cool

response. To see that people like your music is a validating experience. It makes you feel good about what you’ve done.

I think this is going to give

us a little more fire to get out there and maybe play a little bit more and try to do more fun stuff. We gotta live up to it now I suppose.

What’s to come for In Due Time?

Bryce: We are going to record. We’re thinking about adding maybe one more person into our lineup. But as far as that goes I think we’re just going to keep pushing and writing. Amber is about to have a baby in June, so then that’s going to slow up our timeline a little bit.

Maybe. Maybe it wont. We’ll just take it from there. We’re not by any means ready to call it quits. We’re excited to get out there and write more music.

2018 SIOUXLAND’S CHOICE AWARDS WINNERS

Automotive

BY CHRISTOPHER BRAUNSCHWEIG‌

You get an award! You get an award! You get an award!

No free cars, though. Sorry. We’re just not as gracious or as rich as Oprah Winfrey to give away free vehicles as first place prizes. Then again, we imagine the winners of the Automotive categories of the 2018 Siouxland’s Choice Awards would enjoy something that isn’t a car for once.

In the race to see who’d wind up on top, there were a few winners that are walking away this year with more than one award.

Knoepfler Chevrolet (100 Jackson St.) will be happy to know it won both the “Auto Body/Repair Shop” and “New Car Dealership” awards. That’s probably to be expected of a dealership that’s been around for decades and decades.

Likewise, Rocket Auto Wash & Detail Center (2519 Correctionville Road) is the recipient of dual honors, winning “Auto Detailing” and “Car Wash” categories. Don’t be too surprised by the wins, though. Rocket has been a part of Sioux City for more than 50 years, serving customers’ specific auto needs.

“But, Weekender, what about those other car awards? Who won those?” Glad you asked, dear readers! When it comes to the best “Used Car Dealership,” Siouxlanders chose LaFleur Auto Sales (205 S. Derby Lane, North Sioux City, South Dakota). We think the establishment’s “no excuses” and no-nonsense approach to customer service helped win over voters this year.

Oh, and the best “Tire Store?” Look no

further than Ben Fish Tire (1400 Center St.), according to Siouxland pollsters.

Betcha didn’t know Ben Fish Tire has been continuously serving Siouxlanders’ needs since 1915. If our math is right, that’s more than 100 years!

We didn’t forget about those other vehicles. For “Boat Sales & Service,” Siouxland recommends Parks Marina - Okoboji Boat Works (1401 Lake Shore Drive, Okoboji, Iowa).

When it comes to which place is the best “Motorcycle/ ATV Dealer,” voters say Rooster’s Harley-Davidson (1930 Lewis Blvd.) is the place to visit. And for all you lawn aficionados, Siouxlanders say Bernie’s Lawn & Garden Center (616 W. Seventh St.) has the best “Tractor/Lawn Sales & Service.”

Who says Sioux City isn’t beautiful?

We’ve got the awards to prove it is!

Although Weekender writers appear a tad scurvy (especially before major deadlines) with our unkempt hair and pasty skin, we like to know the best places to go for a trim, manicures and the occasional impulsive tattoo. Luckily for us, all you lovely Siouxland’s Choice Awards voters had no problem filling out the Beauty categories.

The battle for best “Barber/Beautician” was a tough one. But in the end, cosmetologist Danika Nieto of Leeds Beauty Salon (3601 Floyd Blvd.) won out.

Nieto has held her position for the past seven years and still has devoted customers from when she started.

For haircuts and the like, Siouxlanders voted Belle Touche Salon & Spa (5001 Sergeant Road #290 & 1101Fourth St., 2nd floor) as the best “Hair Salon” in the area. With a name that translates to “beautifully touched,” you can bet the staff members strive to make their customers feels as beautiful as possible.

Of course, there’s more to looking good than a stylish haircut. For those looking for a “Manicure/Pedicure,” voters listed Lynn Nails (2511 Hamilton Blvd.) as the supreme Siouxland nail salon.

Naturally tanning in the winter? Forget about it. Considering how drawn out Sioux City winters feel, we need a place that delivers quality “Tanning” year round.

Look no further than Sun Tan City (2500 Glenn Ave. #73, Sioux City, Iowa; 1782 Hamilton Blvd., Sioux City, Iowa; 1901 Cornhusker Drive, South Sioux City, Nebraska).

To look good, it helps to actually feel good. If you’re like us and need a good “Massage/Spa” to help alleviate some of that discomfort – because typing all day is a real pain – then the place to go, according to Siouxland, is Studio 83 Holistic Wellness (4501 Stone Ave.). This is the establishment’s second consecutive win in this category.

Last, but not least, is good ink.

Siouxland is full of talented artists, and many of them are tucked inside tattoo parlors. But for the best “Tattoo,” locals say Living Art Tattoo Studio (2016 S. St. Aubin St.) is the place to be. Heck, they said it last year, too! So you know they’re good.

2018 SIOUXLAND’S CHOICE AWARDS WINNERS

Drink

Entertainment

BY EARL HORLYK‌

BY CHRISTOPHER BRAUNSCHWEIG‌

Sioux City’s bar scene has never been as exciting as it has been in the past year, and the 2018 Siouxland’s Choice Awards reflect this enthusiasm.

With new businesses moving up the ranks and established businesses updating their images, adult beverage aficionados are rewarding the places willing to step up in a very competitive field.

Cody Habhab, the Siouxland’s Choice top vote-getter for bartender, must be the hardest working man in town. When he’s not bartending at Bodega 401, he can be found bartending at Iron Hill Bar & Grill.

Perhaps, Cody’s the man because Bodega 401 happened to capture the top spot for Best Happy Hour. The hip, urban 401 Pearl St. bar certainly has a knack for giving their drinks some interesting names. For out-ofshape Weekender employees, Bodega’s “Strip and Go” beer cocktail (consisting of beer, vodka and lemonade) can be considered both refreshing and threatening.

C.J. Perera and his crew at The Diving Elk picked up a win for best Historic 4th Street Bar. With a humongous craft beer menu and top-notch food, it’s easy to see why the 1101 Fourth St. bar does so well with Weekender readers.

With its working man vibe, Work & Church Booze Parlor captured plenty of partisans who selected the 215 Fourth St. drinking den as their favorite non-historic Fourth Street bar.

In the mood for a mean martini? Pearl’s Wine and Booze has won the hearts (and livers) of Weekender readers, gaining the most votes for favorite martini bar. Do you like your martini shaken or stirred? We’re sure the mixologists at the 417 Pearl St. will satisfy everyone’s inner James Bond.

“There’s nothing to do in Sioux City,” said no one ever.

To prove Siouxland is a top-notch destination, all one has to do is see the winners of the Entertainment categories in this year’s Siouxland’s Choice Awards.

Let’s start with the music scene.

This year, the Siouxlanders voted D.A.D. as the best “Local Hip-Hop Artist/DJ.” Likewise, In Due time nabbed the top spot in the best “Local Country/Acoustic Band” category, while the newer group Would You Kindly? won for best “Local Rock/Metal Band.”

Speaking of music, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City (111 Third St.) won for best “Entertainment Venue,” as well as “Casino.” The establishment also gets to take home the best “Live Music Event” certificate for its Battery Park Concert Series.

Not to be outdone, Sioux City’s own Saturday in the Park managed to win for the best “Outdoor Festival/Event.” Even after 27plus years, our hometown outdoor music fest still scores highly among Siouxland’s Choice Award voters.

But what about all-ages recreation?

According to Siouxland voters, the best place for “Family Entertainment” is the LaunchPAD Children’s Museum (623 Pearl St.).

That’s a solid pick, but aren’t we forgetting another museum? Well after years of never including a best “Museum/Art Gallery” in the Siouxland’s Choice Awards – despite multiple write-in wins every year – the Sioux City Public Museum (607 Fourth St.) officially wins the honor.

Let’s not forget outdoor entertainment, either. Want to go for a dip and catch a tan?

Sioux Cityans say the best “Swimming Pool/ Water Park” is the Wild Water West (6767 466th Ave., Sioux Falls, South Dakota).

Wait a sec... does Sioux Falls really count as Siouxland? All right, Sioux Falls. You win this time.

Now what about golf? There are quite a few courses scattered around the area. The best, according to voters, is Green Valley Golf Course (4300 Donner Ave.).

We can’t forget local athletes. Sioux City is lucky enough to have all sorts of sports teams.

But which ones do fans love the most? That’s what the Siouxland’s Choice Awards is for.

The “Best Bandit” award goes to running back Frederick Bruno, whose team finished first in the regular season this past year. The “Best Explorer” isn’t Meriwether Lewis, William Clark or Sacajawea this year – looks

From left, a glass of prairie grass gimlet and a glass of Pelletier margarita.

Only in business since May 2017, The Marquee is already making a name for itself as a fun music venue. Discriminating Siouxland’s Choice Award voters also determined that the 1225 Fourth St. nightclub is a primo place for getting a mixed drink.

But what happens when you want to drink in the privacy of your home?

Charlie’s Wine & Spirits calls itself “the perfect spot” for fine wine, ice cold domestic beers, unique imports and sensational craft beers. Weekender readers apparently were in complete agreement, choosing the 507 W. 19th St., retailer as the Siouxland’s Choice for best liquor store.

Drinkers with more sophisticated palettes may have preferred WineStyles. The 5002 Sergeant Road destination picked up a firstplace finish for your favorite Sioux City wine store.

However, this isn’t to say that the Weekender readers only drink the hard stuff.

Brad Lepper and his baristas at Stone Bru, jolted into first place for best coffee shop.

Hey, a cup of joe actually sounds good right about now.

Pitcher Cody Forsythe nabbed the win instead.

Siouxland’s Choice Award voters named defenseman Brady Ferner as the “Best Musketeer.” Likewise, locals honored quarterback Scott Manley as the “Best Stampede.” That’s one more thing to add to the trophy case, right fellas?

Now that you’ve seen all these accomplishments, we bet you want to dance, right? Do the celebrating over at Bergie’s Bar (215 Fourth St.). Why? Because you all voted it as the “Best Place to Dance.” That’s why!

2018 SIOUXLAND’S CHOICE AWARDS WINNERS

Food

BY EARL HORLYK‌

Who would’ve thought a restaurant that’s named after a swanky New York neighborhood could be the go-to place for excellent Cuban sandwiches, Italian meatball marinara and Mediterranean chicken?

If America’s a melting pot of international cuisine, leave it to Julie Schoenherr and her staff at SoHo Kitchen & Bar for giving such food a funky flair. The 1024 Historic Fourth St. bistro has topped our list for All-American Food by Weekender readers.

Do you get a freakon for pho? Well, we just happen to have an antidote for that. With its expansive menu of Chinese and Vietnamese dishes, Da Kao Restaurant is a great place for pho, mi xao don, bo luc lac and many more things we can’t pronounce. The friendly and patient staff at the 800 West Seventh St. restaurant is probably one of the major reasons Da Kao picked up a first-place finish in Asian food.

Siouxland’s Choice Award voters have a sweet tooth, too. They chose Sugar Shack as

their favorite bakery. We mean, who doesn’t love the stuff coming out of the 700 Jennings St. shop?

Still, we all want to get saucy! Perhaps, Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que is the messiest place in town. The 201 Pierce St. restaurant is taking home the top prize for best BBQ in Siouxland.

Once upon a time, breakfast was only served in the morning. At Johnnie Mars Family Restaurant, you can order omelets, flapjacks and a slab of bacon any time of the day.

The 2401 East Fifth St. eatery has again topped your list for having the best breakfast/brunch in town.

Americans love fusion cuisine. We take elements from one culture while adding it to another dish.

Mr. Stirfry, the Siouxland’s Choice winner for Best Buffet, has been doing that for years.

Legend has it that Louis Lassen, the proprietor of New Haven, Conn.’s Louis Lunch, invented the hamburger in 1900.

However, Lassen’s burger lacked such essential ingredients like jalapeno, cream

cheese and grape jelly. Wait, you can only get the Popper Topper Burger at Soho Kitchen & Bar (1024 Historic Fourth St.)? Well, that may explain why they picked up the Siouxland’s Choice Award for Best Burger joint.

This winter, we’ve been socked in with blizzards, ice storms and wicked winds. What are Weekender readers in the mood for?

That’s right, we’re in the mood for ice cream.

Cold Stone Creamery was selected as the best place in town to get a dessert. The 1921 Hamilton Blvd. shop may be the coolest place in town ... literally.

We may not be fancy very often but we do appreciate fine dining on occasion. So do Weekender readers. They chose Minervas Food & Cocktail, 2945 Hamilton Blvd., as their favorite fine dining establishment.

The Siouxland’s Choice winner for Greek food, Greek to Me, 5714 Sunnybrook Drive, is like the United Nations of fast-casual dining. Where else can you get a Gyro Pizza, an Olympic burger and a Philly Cheese Steak that is teeming with Feta cheese?

Of course, Weekender staff members never had to experience this but La Juanita has been chosen to be the best place to go if you need a hangover cure. What, you saw us

order a gallon of menudo at the 1316 Pierce St. location last weekend? Nah, it must’ve been somebody else who looked like us.

If you see a blue bunny in real life, we recommend you see an optometrist immediately. However, if you’re in Le Mars, Iowa, feel free to stop into the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor & Museum, 115 Central Ave. N.W. since they’re your top pick for frozen treats.

It’s coming soon, they promise. Yup, Trattoria Fresco has once again picked up a nod from Siouxland’s Choice Awards voters for having the best Italian food. Their Facebook page said the eatery’s new 707

Fourth St. location will be open in a matter of days.

Who makes your favorite tavern sandwich? Siouxland’s Choice Awards voter chose the Charlie Boy at Miles Inn (2622 Leech Ave.) to be their No. 1 choice.

We’re lucky that authentic Mexican food is in abundance in Sioux City. La Juanita (1316 Pierce St.) is the place where many Weekender readers get their fill of Jalisco favorites. That’s why La Wah is our top votegetter again this year.

Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom (5030 Sergeant Road) placed first in your outdoor dining experience.

Let it be known that Jerry’s Pizza is no pie-in-the-sky type of business. In fact, the 1417 Morningside Ave. business has been voted your favorite place for pizza, according to Weekender readers.

Are they freaky fast? Yeah, but Jimmy John’s is also a Siouxland’s Choice Award

winner for best sandwich. Check ’em out at 2408 Hamilton Blvd. and 5001 Sergeant Road.

Lent is upon us and many Catholics must eat fish on Fridays. Or they can eat seafood, seven days a week, if they so desire.

We’re guessing the folks at Red Lobster (4290 Sergeant Road) can set you up. They got the nod for being your favorite seafood destination.

Frequently named one of the finest steakhouses in the entire country, Archie’s Waeside (224 Fourth Ave. N.E., Le Mars) was also named best steakhouse by Weekender readers.

Fuji Bay (513 Sixth St.) took home the top prize for area’s best sushi.

But man can’t live on food alone. He also need plenty of vino. Which is why the knowledgeable staff at M’s On Fourth (1021 Fourth St.) is being toasted by Weekender readers for having the best wine list in town.

In fact, we say cheers to all of the winners!

is Anderson Professional Services (2015 Indian Hills Drive). And if you mess up stuff with your taxes, you best call an “Attorney.”

Maybe someone at the Crary Huff Law Firm (329 Pierce St. #200) can help.

Got a shaggy dog at home? Then you might need a place that specializes in “Pet Grooming,” preferably our Siouxland’s Choice Award No. 1 pick Bark Avenue (1007 Morningside Ave.). And for those “Veterinary” services? You’ll want Siouxland Animal Hospital (2030 Indian Hills Drive).

Need a move? Our readers recommend you to speak to the best “Real Estate Agent” in town: Dave Pepin. Likewise, they also say the best “Real Estate Company” is Century 21 Prolink (1114 Fourth St.). But if you’re about that “Apartment” life, our poll says the top pick is Virginia Square (100 Virginia St.).

Uh-oh! Is your house falling apart?

Siouxland voters have got you covered. For “Basement/Foundation Repair,” try out Thrasher. Need “Carpet Cleaning?” Visit Chem-Dry of Siouxland (5817 Stone Ave).

2018 SIOUXLAND’S CHOICE AWARDS WINNERS

Shopping

BY CHRISTOPHER BRAUNSCHWEIG‌

JUSTIN WAN, THE WEEKENDER

Crystal Mayhew, owner of Bark Avenue Dog Grooming & Retail, talks about dog brushes at her shop, which also won the Siouxland’s Choice Award for “Pet Grooming.”

Services FROM 31

Sergeant Bluff, Iowa) a try.

Alright it’s time for the lightning round.

Best “Photography Studio?” Lisamarie Photography. Best “Hotel?” Stoney Creek Hotel & Conference Center (300 Third St.). Best “Higher Education?”

Morningside College (1501 Morningside Ave.). Best “Charitable/Nonprofit?”

Council on Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence (CSADV). Best “Funeral Home?”

Meyer Brothers Colonial Chapel (3220 Stone Park Blvd.). “Best Place to Work?”

Great West Casualty (1100 W. 29th St., South Sioux City, Nebraska).

JUSTIN WAN, THE WEEKENDER

Shotgun manager Todd Pick talks about various hunting boots at SCHEELS, which won multiple honors in this year’s Siouxland’s Choice Awards.

After we’ve released the Siouxland’s Choice Awards winners, we’re going on a shopping spree!

It’s the only proper reaction to seeing the Shopping category winners. Then again, us Weekender writers barely make enough to get by. Maybe after we win the lottery we’ll go on our shopping spree. Until then, we’ll leave it to you folks to shop for us. Get us something good while you’re at it!

Looking at the winners list, it seems SCHEELS (Southern Hills Mall, 4400 Sergeant Rd. #54) is the big winner, taking home first place honors in multiple categories like “Men’s Clothing,” “Sporting Goods” and “Guns & Ammo.”

As far as “Women’s Clothing,” Siouxland’s Choice Awards voters said Boutique 20 (5700 Sunnybrook Drive) has the best selection. That place also won best “Boutique.”

However, if it’s a “Bridal Shop” you’re after, then check out Sequin’s Bridal Boutique (219 W Willow St., Cherokee, Iowa).

“Shoes?” What are those?! It’s those things you put on your feet. C’mon, guys, focus.

Southern Hills Drive Suite 19) has the best shoes. Oh, now you want to know the best “Jeweler?” Our voters said Thorpe & Company Jewelers (501 Fourth St.) has a mighty fine collection.

The best “Electronics?” This one is east to remember: Best Buy (4730 Sergeant Road). However, Siouxlanders believe the best “Appliances” can be found at Kollman Appliance, Inc. (409 W. Seventh St.). But don’t get appliances mixed up with “Hardware” though. For that, voters say Wilmes Do it Best Hardware (815 W. 29th St., South Sioux City, Nebraska) has a great selection in-store.

To spice up that house of yours, you’ll want some “Home Decor.”

Siouxland’s Choice Award participants voted Holland House Interiors (109 N. Central Ave., Orange City, Iowa) as the area’s best. Not to be confused with “Furniture,” however. Because that title belongs to HOM Furniture (415 Fourth St. Suite H). For your “Flooring” needs, visit Fashion Floors Carpet One Floor & Home (305 W. Seventh St.).

And if some darn kid threw some rocks

at your “Windows,” you can bet Pella Windows and Doors (3225 US-75 BUS) can hook you up.

Winter is nearly over, which means we can finally browse “Pools & Spa” collections. The best place to start would be Combined Pool and Spa (4444 S. York St.). But if swimming is a no-go, then we can always bike around Siouxland. Which means we’re due for a trip to a “Bicycle Shop.” The best around is Albrecht Cycle Shop (200 Fifth St.).

Sometimes you need to get yourself something fun. Maybe you browse some “Antiques” at Rosewood & Brass (2520 Transit Ave.) or visit a “Pawn Shop” like A. Gordon’s Jewelry & Loan (910 Nebraska St.). Perhaps some plants at “Garden/Greenhouse” will tie the room together? Better visit Earl May Nursery & Garden Center (4101 War Eagle Drive & 4141 Gordon Drive) just to be sure.

Ah, heck. We might as well just go “Grocery” shopping and be responsible.

Our reader’s say the best to visit is HyVee.

ADVICE

ANSWERS FOR ALL YOUR WOES SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS AMY ALKON

Mixed Emojis

Q: I’m dating again now and annoyed by how texting’s become the way you get to know somebody you might want to go out with. I type all day at work.

I’ll talk on the phone, but the last thing I want to do when I’m off is type text messages. – Contrary Millennial Woman A: Back in, say, 539 B.C. in Sumer, if you wanted to tell somebody you were “laughing out loud,” you’d have to dispatch your eunuch across town with the message on a cuneiform tablet. Okay, so the “tablets” are way more tricked out these days, but oh, how far we haven’t come.

Texting can be a great way to get to know somebody – somebody who can’t talk on the phone because they’re hiding in a closet from kidnappers in a Liam Neeson movie.

However, assuming neither of you is in immediate danger of being sold into sex slavery by the standard swarthy Hollywood terrorists, you should hold off on any text-athons until after you put in some solid face-to-face time.

Sure, in texting, it seems like all sorts of information is getting “bloop!”ed back and forth. However, you end up missing some vital elements – tone of voice, emotion, body language – that you’d have in person or even FaceTiming on your phone.

People shrug that off: “No biggie...I’ll just see all that stuff when we meet.” Well, there’s a problem with that. “Nature,” it’s said, “abhors a vacuum,” and it seems the human brain isn’t so hot on it, either. Research by neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga suggests that when people lack information, their brain helps them by making up a narrative that seems to make sense. So there’s a good chance your brain is going to be your helpful little servant and fill in the missing bits – with ideas about a person that may not correspond all that closely with reality.

In other words, you’re accidentally onto something with your dislike of text-athons. That said, the telephone isn’t the best way to get to know somebody, either – not even via FaceTime, which only gives you a partial picture. That’s why I think you and anyone you’re considering dating should communicate minimally online or by phone and get together in person ASAP. Ideally, your first date should be

three things: cheap, short, and local – making it low-cost in time, money, and, on some occasions, “lemme outta here, you sick pumpkin latte-slurping degenerate!” (Apologies to any degenerates who don’t befoul their latte with autumn Febreze.)

Tell guys your preference, and don’t be swayed by texting aficionados who insist that you simply MUST engage in marathon text sessions before meeting somebody...because... because safety! Sure, meet your dates in public places (rather than have them pop by your place so they can ziptie you and stuff you in their trunk). The reality is, texting somebody till your fingers bleed is not the equivalent of an FBI report on their trustworthiness – though it will leave you well-prepared to testify at The Hague on their war crimes against the apostrophe.

Kinking Outside The Box Q: My wife and I have our differences in bed. Let’s say that I like A and she likes B. So we alternate – A one time and B the next – meaning we’re each only satisfied half the time. Is this a smart compromise? – Curious A: Relationships do take compromise – especially when one of you’s in the mood for foreplay with whipped cream and strawberries and then a glance at the calendar reveals: “Oh, crap. It’s Medieval Torture Device Monday.”

As for whether your sex compromise is “smart,” it depends. Research by social psychologist Shelly Gable finds that in a relationship, you can do the exact same activity on your partner’s behalf – say, picking up their thumbscrews from the welder – and have it be good or bad for the relationship, depending on your motivation.

Couples in Gable’s studies were happiest when partners’ efforts for each other were driven by “approach” rather than “avoidance” goals. “Approach” involves moving in a positive direction, making an effort for positive reasons – such as barking like a gibbon in bed because you love your partner and want them to be happy. “Avoidance” involves doing it to prevent rejection or conflict (like being exiled to the couch for three days).

An “approach” approach to sex, especially, appears to pay off. Social psychologist Amy Muise found that partners who took pleasure in giving their partner sexual pleasure “felt more satisfied and committed both at the ... time and three weeks later.” The message in all of this? A smart sex compromise runs on enthusiasm for rocking each other’s world in bed – even if the thing your partner’s into plays for you like “How ‘bout we sneak out to my car for a quick endoscopy?”

Where is the Write-In category??

WRITE-OFFS

BY CHRISTOPHER BRAUNSCHWEIG

I’ve checked underneath the couch cushions. I’ve turned my pockets inside out. I’ve retraced my steps. But no matter what I do, I just can’t find the Write-In category for this year’s Siouxland’s Choice Awards.

Lame jokes aside, we know that a lot of you were disappointed about the removal of the Write-Ins. Reading everyone’s write-in awards, serious or otherwise, was great fun – admittedly, it was probably my favorite part about the Siouxland’s Choice Awards issue.

Alas, it is gone. For now.

I can’t make any promises as to whether we’ll include it next year. I’m sorry, but I just don’t have that kind of power. However, I can tell you that your concerns and complaints have not gone unnoticed.

I’m fairly certain the WriteIns removal was one of our most common complaints this year. And I can understand why. The Write-In category served many purposes.

It was a way for people to create their own categories that were otherwise left out of the regular list.

It was a way for people to subtly give their feedback on what categories should be added to the list. And it was a way to embarrass your friends with odd categories like “Best Perm” or “Most Hated Band.”

46 . Weekender . 02.22.2018 . www.siouxland.net

We wanted to try something new with the Siouxland’s Choice Awards.

Complaints about the format, the poll itself and seeing the same ol’ winners every year drove us to find something

made reasonable claims for “Comedian” and “Local Live Theater” categories – problems that could have been solved if we had included write-ins.

I know I’m not really telling you what you want to hear or giving you any kind of certainty that the Write-In categories will return, but I thought you should know that we’ve heard what you’ve said. Receiving feedback is always a good thing.

Take solace in knowing that since we changed things up big time this year, there’s more room to make cuts and improve upon what we have. Thank you for your patience and continued support over the years. The Siouxland’s Choice Awards is a fun time for all of us here at The Weekender.

I mean, it’s also stressful. But I have to admit I get giddy whenever I see the freshly printed copies, so I can’t wait to see the cookie cover of this year’s Siouxland’s Choice Awards! (Thank you, Sugar Shack Bakery!)

With or without the Write-In category, I still think many of you will enjoy this year’s list. Sometimes you don’t always get what you want. For else. The result was this year’s instance, I didn’t get to have a bite Siouxland’s Choice Awards of that delicious cookie featured in We added lots of new categories. But this week’s issue. Sure, I’m sad about we also removed old favorites, which it, but that’s just the way the cookie may make a return. Some folks also crumbles.
