Introducing the Eater Awards 2010

May we have your attention please? Hear ye, hear ye. As of this second, Eater proudly announces the existence of the Eater Awards, a new annual celebration of all that made America's restaurant world run—and run wild—in the past twelve months, presented by our friends at GREY GOOSE Vodka.

Over the next two weeks, in each Eater city, Eater editors and readers alike will be voting and deciding on categories including but not limited to Restaurant of the Year, Chef of the Year, Empire Builder of the Year, and Shitshow of the Year, all leading up to Judgement Day, Monday, November 8, when winners will be feted on Eater and at a gala special event in New York City. This is your heads-up. If there are any nominations you must not wait one second longer to make, hit the comments. Otherwise, 9AM tomorrow: let it begin.

The Eater Awards 2010 would not be possible not only without presenting sponsor GREY GOOSE Vodka but also the event's other sponsors: Starbucks Flavored VIA, Whole Foods Market, USA Pears, Sixpoint Craft Ales, Astor Wines & Spirits, and Forever Cheese. We salute them all.
