The second and third place winners respectively were Elena’s Cuban Cafe, 2246 East Edgewood Drive, and Konga’s Latin Café, 6595 South Florida Ave. Awards were presented last month on December 10. For 2012, the competition is looking forward to receiving greater representation from throughout the county. For three months before the final selection, Polk citizens are asked to try a variety of restaurants who have applied to be “Sabor” contestants. Votes will be tallied and then there will be an ultimate cook-off between those receiving the most votes. The PR/HCCPC has an excellent Web site with clips to view of the 2011 competition. It is always exciting to see an event become so successful that it merits a second annual status. My mouth is beginning to water just thinking about it!
