Delray and West Palm/Lake Worth Square Off in Our Food Town Throwdown Finals

By Eric Barton Thu., Feb. 16 2012 at 6:09 AM

The champions of our Food Town Throwdown contest to see which local city has the best dining scene has reached the final round. It's Delray Beach versus West Palm Beach/Lake Worth in our final showdown. The winner here earns the rights to talk smack, brag, and generally boast that its city has the fairest food scene in the land.

Before the voting begins, here's a breakdown of last week's results:

West Palm Beach/Lake Worth: 453 votes
Western Broward County: 251 votes
All the great ethnic dining of Western Broward just couldn't compete with the glitz of Clematis, chains of CityPlace, and authenticity of downtown Lake Worth. West Palm and Lake Worth now go against Delray Beach, the city that was our number-one seed at the beginning of this contest and brought in more votes than any other city.

Delray Beach: 1,007 votes
Fort Lauderdale: 154 votes
Fort Lauderdale may be the biggest South Florida city north of Miami, but that didn't stop it from getting trounced by Delray. Atlantic Avenue's hopping dining scene now squares off against its neighbors to the north.

Look at that marting right after you said that west palm went to a perfect 500 votes funny how you saw that and it changed for wpb

Marting

delray has exactly 1500 votes....what a nice, round convenient number.....and it hasn't moved in a few hours lol....its almost as if someone clicked delray 1500 times EXACTLY and decided that would be enough to win!

Enjoying the town

The idea here is to tell your friends and get people involved, So it's good for both towns for people to talk about it... Heck this way both towns get more people coming out during the day and night to do things, or if you want stay inside and play your xbox and offer nothing to the rest of the world by noticing there is other places to go and experience..

looks like someone at the Delray Chamber of Commerce is stacking the votes!! 1000 votes in a few hours!? so bush-league!! The machine that is delray keeps churning...sad

If someone were voting for, say, Green Acres to win, I'd be concerned. But truth be told, the winners so far have all been smart picks.
