Earlier tonight, encore announced their launch and had their “Best of 2020” Awards, which ultimately were postponed due to the pandemic and followed suit by closing down. However, they’re back as a nonprofit media organzation with a focus on local support across the arts, including music, food and entertainment among other things.
During their presentation, Bone and Bean was announced as the would-have-won winner for Best Ribs in 2020. This is a “thank you” to everyone who supported us over the years in between 2020 and 2026, and especially to James, without whom we’d not have been blessed with his amazing ideas.
So, with that said: thank you. encore, congratulations on your rebirth and we look forward to what you will bring to the community.
