I&#8217;m not sure how this happened, but we won a <a href="http://www.saveur.com/article/Kitchen/2011-SAVEUR-Best-Food-Blog-Awards-Winners">2011 Saveur Best Food Blog Award</a>! Great writers are often great drinkers, but in our case, we just try to do the first to the best of our abilities. I&#8217;m not too sure about rants on tequila and such, but I do know this is just one more example of how good people are to those of us at <a href="http://www.anvilhouston.com/">Anvil</a> in Houston and throughout the country. Thanks to all of you who continue to stand in our corner at every opportunity. You make the 4:00AM cleaning worth it every night.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t check out the other winners, I would rush over to the <a href="http://www.saveur.com/article/Kitchen/2011-SAVEUR-Best-Food-Blog-Awards-Winners">Saveur</a> site right away &#8211; there&#8217;s a ton of great blogs listed on there, most of which are must-reads for me. I would especially recommend checking out the other cocktail blogs that were nominated. Each of them has played an influential role in how I think about cocktails and approach my job.</p>
