Red Bank Gelato Company wins Readers’ Choice - Local Hero Award
Red Bank, NJ - 04/07/2008
Blackwell’s Organic Gelato based in Red Bank, NJ has been voted a Local Hero/Food Artisan by the readers of Edible Jersey Magazine.
“What makes the honor especially nice is that it comes from the readers and ultimately our customers.” said Marcia Blackwell, owner. “We are proud to be featured with such a great group of winners, Dreyer Farms, Small World Coffee, A Toute Heure Restaurant and the North Jersey Chapter of Slow Food.”
Readers could nominate their favorites in 5 categories: Farm, Food Artisan, Restaurant, Beverage Artisan and Non-Profit Organization. Each winner received a full page article and photo in the Spring Issue of Edible Jersey.
“When Edible Jersey invited readers to participate in our first annual Readers’ Choice Local Hero awards, we had no idea of the wave of response that was headed our way. Hundreds of votes were cast for over 150 New Jersey farms, restaurants, food artisans, beverage artisans and nonprofit organizations.” said Nancy Painter, Editor and Founder of Edible Jersey Magazine.
Marcia & Tom Blackwell and the other winners will be presented with their awards at a reception at the Frog & the Peach Restaurant in New Brunswick on Monday April 7, 2008.
