Hey everyone, Justin here, webmaster and developer of EdgarsRestaurant.com.  I’m writing today because we are down to the wire, (couple hours left) and today is your last chance to vote for Glenn Gillespie for the People’s Platelist Contest held by ABC Nightline.  You can cast your vote by visiting the link at the top right of our website, just mouse-over and visit that page and vote for Glenn!  VOTE HERE NOW!

As one of Edgar’s Restaurant’s most adoring fans, I’ve had the opportunity to eat nearly everything on the menu and many of the weekly features which have become something myself and our entire golf league look forward to each week.  While most of the food Glenn Gillespie cooks is not only extraordinarily creative, it’s also very delicious,  There is one dish that stands out as one of my favorite all time meals I’ve had at Edgar’s.  This was a Herb Crusted Salmon, (cooked to perfection) placed neatly on top of a Portabello mushroom with yellow summer squash and topped off with BBQ crawdads.  Wow!

For those of you who haven’t tried Edgar’s and you enjoy an upscale, casual atmosphere and great food, call or email and make a reservation.  Meanwhile, the rest of you that have eaten at Edgar’s and have had the opportunity to enjoy one of Glenn’s unique and creative dinners, let’s vote now and help him to win the People’s Platelist award so we can see our favorite Akron Chef on ABC Nightline, he definitely deserves it.

GO Glenn!

“Wow. This is so exciting! I can’t get over it!” exclaimed the normally cool and unflappable Chef Glenn. Known for his fabulous, slow-smoked meats, seafood and Cajun-influenced menu as well as his signature hats, Gillespie got a call from the ABC Nightline contest administrator informing him of his new status as one of the top 20 chefs in America on July 27.

“Next step is creating our online video for the online voting site. It’s going to be tough fitting all about my menu and food into a short video. I guess it’s just like one of our menu items though.” he laughs. “Getting all those flavors and background onto one plate!” Chef Glenn’s attitude is that “food is love. It’s family. It’s stories.”

Online voting begins August 26 and the winner will be announced live on the Nightline during the week of September 27, 2010. Viewers will be invited to log onto the Nightline page at ABCNews.com (http://abcnews.go.com/nightline) to vote for their favorite finalist between August 26 and September 26. Voting is limited to one vote per individual IP address. The finalist receiving the most votes online will be declared the winner of the contest.
