NECN's "Baby, You're the Best" Food Competition Is Up and Running

A regional cable news network has set up a food competition with 12 categories included, and the voting will take place for a good part of the spring and summer.

According to their website, NECN's "Baby, You're the Best" competition is currently in full swing, with voting on ice cream having just ended (the next featured vote is for pizza). Among the categories for best food in New England are best fried clams, donuts, hot dogs, chowder, cupcakes, and more. Results of the ice cream vote will be posted on Monday, June 4, with nominations for pizza closing on Sunday, June 3 (the pizza poll goes live on Monday, June 4, and wraps up on Wednesday, June 6). Other categories will follow over the coming days and weeks; as soon as NECN posts an exact schedule for the voting, we will post an update here.
