Please help me understand the logic behind their picks. As the attached schedule indicates, my restaurant's food and combined Zagat scores were higher than all but 2 of the winners. What gives? Is my home state of Delaware not worthy? And if a dinner only costs $37 at Domaine Hudson vs. much more at other places, doesn't that matter?
