"Welcome to Best of Burque
Restaurants! You may have noticed that we've
got a spiffy new name (changed from the old
Readers' Choice Restaurant Poll) and an
appetizing new look to match. Inside, you'll
discover close to 100 categories you've never
seen before--along with all the tantalizing
results, selected through thousands of votes
cast by Alibi
readers like you. Why do we do it?
Because it combines two subjects that are very
dear to our hearts: food and Albuquerque
businesses. When you vote in a Best of Burque
poll, you're rewarding the best local
restaurants with invaluable recognition. Not
only that, you're helping to amass an
indispensable guide to the best food our city
has to offer. Just keep eating and voting, and
we'll do the rest. Bon
appétit!"

Undiscovered Gem
This is madness. The way this poll is going,
either Euphoria
Smoothies is the most exciting
franchise to ever set up shop in Albuquerque,
or they've got a lot of friends who owe them a
favor. They've won three other categories in
this year's poll, so as far as being
undiscovered, it looks like the cat's already
out of the bag on this one.
1. Euphoria Smoothies
2. Slate Street Café
3. Da Vinci's Gourmet Pizza

New Restaurant
Out of the blue this year, Euphoria
Smoothies floated in on a heavenly
cloud to present us with smoothies, stuffed
pretzels and love, man, lots of frickin’
love. The stuffed cheddar and jalapeño
pretzel complements the "mochacchino
chill," and we compliment you,
Albuquerque, on your good taste.
1. Euphoria Smoothies
2. The Standard Diner
3. Slate Street Café
4. Tie: Bumble Bee's Baja Grill, The Grove

5. O'Niell's Pub

Unique Dessert
There's a reason this place is named Euphoria
Smoothies. I've got four words for
you: stuffed chocolate crumb pretzel. The
thing is filled with creamy chocolate and
covered in chocolate drizzles and crumblies.
The moniker could also have something to do
with the “Raging Bull” smoothie, a power
lifter in which Red Bull is a key
ingredient. Though that's less likely to
induce "euphoria" than it is to
bring on the "hyper-talkative ADD"
portion of your afternoon.

Boba Tea
Bubble tea mania hit the Duke City this
year, and up cropped a number of boba and
bubble tea establishments—the good, the
bad and the ugly. There's no pulling the
tapioca pearls over our eyes, we know good
boba tea when we see it, and Euphoria
Smoothies is the place Burque goes to
suck balls. “Honey Dew Heaven,”
“Creamy Avocado,” “Purple Oreo” and
“Green Tea Bliss”--just toss in some
boba, grab a thick straw and get to sucking.

All of us at Euphoria are so
excited. Thank you Art & Louis,
Euphoria Smoothies' New Mexico Area
Developers for their hard work and personal
efforts.
