The nomination period to choose the best catering company in Stanislaus County had by far the lowest turnout.

That tells me that more people in the area need recommendations than have recommendations, which is why I thought this would be a good category to include in the poll series.

Since there were only 16 nominations for nine companies, I will name the five that will go in the final vote but also the other nominees, so you have a list the next time you need a caterer.

The catering companies that received the most nominations were: KO.BBQ with seven , Copper Spur Bar-B-Que with two, Obvious Choice Catering (1), Nami-No Restaurant & Catering (1) and Dave’s Meat Service (1).

Also nominated were Food Fix Butcher & Baker, Smokin’ Roses BBQ, Ricky’s Tacos and Skewers Kabob House.

It’s now time to vote for your favorite of the top five in the poll below. Voting ends Sunday, Dec. 21, at 5 p.m. The winner will be featured Monday.
