Welcome to your penultimate chance to vote in the Observer Food Monthly Awards 2006, in association with Waitrose. Rewards your favourite foodie finds by voting for the restaurant which gave you the most amazing meal, or who made your kids feel welcome without feeding them chicken nuggets, or the bar which makes the perfect margarita. Does your local butcher do the best sausages? Perhaps you know the pub which does the most incredible Sunday lunches and whose staff won't mind if you spend all afternoon lingering over a roast and the papers. Did you visit somewhere that has great food and is set in a beautiful location? If you've read a book or watched a television programme that has made you think about the food you eat, or inspired you to be a more adventurous cook, then we want to know about it. Everyone who votes will automatically be entered into a draw to win one of 20 luxury cases of wine from Waitrose.
Last year you brought some fantastic eatieries to our attention, like the Gourmet Burger Kitchen, winners of best cheap eats and a small chain of restaurants selling a huge range of burgers and other fresh goodies, run by a bunch of seriously energetic New Zealanders. You were also the first to tell us about Anthony's in Leeds, run by innovative young chef Anthony Flinn, which has continued winning plaudits all year.
The winners will be announced in March - including our judges' (Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall, Nigel Slater, Gordon Ramsay and Giorgio Locatelli are joining us) choices for best newcomer, best producer and most outstanding contributor to the food industry. We can't wait to hear who you recommend. Simply fill in the form online at Observer.co.uk/foodawards.
