It’s still a buzz seeing something I wrote in print, even 20-odd years on as a journalist. But I’m a perfectionist, so reading my own work can be as frustrating as it is satisfying. In today’s case, it was the realization that I didn’t list all the winners and finalists in my Kansas City Star piece about the Greater Kansas City Bartending Competition in August.
Sure, I blogged about it all the day after, but some of those reading the paper might not have been among those who read that entry. So here goes:
1st Valdez Campos, Manifesto/The Rieger, Kansas City
2nd Justin Richardson, The American, Kansas City
3rd Chad George, Demun Oyster Bar, St. Louis
Fan Favorite Tony Beyer, Benton’s Prime Chop House, Kansas City
