We came, we saw, we stuffed our faces — and unstuffed the ballot boxes. After months of eating, shopping, drinking and dialing, our top-secret Best of Denver 2008 team produced the paper now in your hands, our 25th annual celebration of the city, filled with hundreds of reasons why Denver is the best possible place to live. Thousands of readers helped with the work, too, spilling their secrets and voting for their favorites in our Readers' Poll — and for the first time in 25 years, a local restaurant edged out McDonald's for Best French Fries! Read all about it in the pages that follow.
