The categories are:

The contest kicks off March 1 (noon, The Granola Bar). Online voting begins then, and runs all month.
All voters are entered into a lottery to win a salad from the winning location for that category.
Winning restaurants receive a plaque. No one restaurant can win in more than 2 categories.
March 1 is around the corner. Lettuce begin!
*Just kidding. I think.
The prize for the voter lottery is a free sandwich??? Should be a free salad!!!
That’s what the website says!
I just heard from Matthew Mandell, Chamber director. That was a mistake. The winner does get a salad. He’s fixed his website, and I’ve fixed the story.
Soooo in Westport during Salad month- There is such a thing as a free lunch!!
But you get a Free SALAD!!
I’m surprised there isn’t a separate category for Potato Salad. No two people in the world make it the same way so this could be a real contest.
None of the above. We need a real salad bar…SWEETGREENS or TOSSED
