Not that we're pouting... certainly the good folks at Muni Diaries deserve some recognition, and we did take the Weekly's readers poll this year, so we're not sweating it either. But the SFBG Readers Poll actually has a number of respectable winners in the food category (no Pasta P for Best Overall here...) who we'd happily sit beside, like Delfina for Best Italian and Chez Panisse for Best Overall.

The SF Weekly Best of 2009 Readers Poll, while clearly accurate in such categories as Best Blog, was perhaps skewed by a campaign to vault Pasta Pomodoro to the lofty position as the people's choice for Best Restaurant. While Pasta P. may make a competent marinara on a good day, and their focaccia can be quite tasty, both we at SFist and our pal at EaterSF have a hard time accepting this result given the multitude of world-class restaurants in our fair city. So, in the spirit of democracy, please vote in EaterSF's poll so that we can get a better idea what our readers think. Sure, it's multiple choice and does not include a host of smaller neighborhood faves, but you're welcome to add your write-in candidate in the comments, either there or here. (We already know that Brock votes for Spruce.) And yes, polls are always dumb and biased, but humor us for a second.

Hot off the presses is SF Weekly's annual Best of San Francisco issue. Here are some highlights. Everyone's favorite, Mission Mission, came away with Best Neighborhood Blog. SFist Richard, aka Sparkletack nabbed Best SF History Podcast. Vicki Marlane at Aunt Charlie's was ordained Best Drag Queen. The feisty Ed Leong won Best Octogenarian Badminton Player. And we can attest that Humphry Slocombe is the Best New Ice Cream Store. Their "Secret Breakfast" is delish.
