Puck's nomination, while not "news" in the context of his previous nominations, is still worthy of mention in a Walker-hosted blog.

Why not support nominees like <b>Alex Roberts of Alma, Isaac Becker at 112 Eatery</b> or <b>Tim McKee at La Belle Vie</b> (just across the road from the Walker)? Or tune in to MPR and hear locally produced "best radio show" nominee Lynn Rosetto Kasper of "The Splendid Table"?
