Ballots from duplicate e-mail or IP addresses were disqualified. Editorial discretion was used when votes were cast for restaurants that, in our judgment, belonged in another category.<br \/>We usually add our critics\u2019 picks based on visits made in the spring and summer, but we had to forgo such travel amid the ongoing pandemic and we have eschewed critics\u2019 picks this year.<br \/>All qualified ballots sent in by readers were eligible to win our random drawing.
