Each year Emerald Coast Magazine holds their annual Reader's Choice Poll for the best restaurants, shopping, services, entertainment, and businesses along the Emerald Coast. Winners from each category will be announced on Saturday, October 13, 2012, from 6-9pm at Grand Boulevard in Sandestin.

The public is invited for an evening of food, fun, fashion, and entertainment - including food, beer, wine, and drinks from the winning restaurants. The event benefits the Junior League of the Emerald Coast (JLEC).
