Chippewa Valley gourmands got to celebrate this year, which is probably why there was a tie in this category. Unsurprisingly, Burger Night at Together Farms (W93 Norden Road, Mondovi) came in first by a landslide. With rolling hills, mouth-watering food, and a few cute pups to pet, it just doesn’t get any better. Farm to Fork (S193 County Road BB, Mondovi) came in second place, with rustic wood-fired pizza to match beautiful surroundings. Students created cuisine from around the globe at the Chippewa Valley Technical College Culinary Pop-Ups, tying with Covizza, a delicious pop-up pizza experience using space at The Informalist in downtown Eau Claire. –Cullen Ryan
