"This year's contest was extremely close," said Lisa Lee, executive director of Advocates to End Domestic Violence, the organization responsible Saturday's Taste of Downtown.
"Some categories were decided by just a handful of votes ... the Best Overall by a single vote."
Lee said the street party was a rousing success with few incidents, thanks to all its volunteers.
The competition:
Best Atmosphere: Comma Coffee
Best Taste: Molly's Catering
Best Discovery: Stew's Lucky Spur
Best Overall: B'Sghetti's
