2023 BEST OF FREMONT

readers’ choice awards

2023 Best of Fremont Readers’ Choice Awards The 2023 Best of Fremont, which comprises this special 20-page section, represents readers’ favorites for the city’s local businesses. There were 136 categories represented this year.

The 2023 Best of Fremont is a special advertising project for the Fremont Argus newspaper. The survey is not scientific and does not claim to be. But it does reflect opinions of those Fremont residents who feel strongly about a business, place or person, and all votes that were legitimately fielded were objectively analyzed and counted. Online voting runs from February to early.

When the Best of Fremont winner was closely followed by others, the honorable mentions were recognized with an Honor Award. The outright winner is listed BEST ANTIQUE STORE WINNER:

THE BEST BBQ RESTAURANT

‘Smoking Pig BBQ After a career in the Technology industry, Paul Reddick was ready to leave it behind and follow his dream. Taking the leap, he asked his wife, Jessica, if she was interested in perhaps doing a little catering to see how it might go. To his surprise and delight, she said “Sure!

Let’s try it!”

Paul had been learning BBQ, trying out recipes, burning things and starting uncontrolled, but thankfully small, fires. He quickly realized that it was not “set oven to 350 and cook for one hour,” but that he needed to manage a ton of variables in order for the result to be successful. Paul got hooked on the challenge of it all.

Together, Paul and Jessica eventually expanded, and created the Smoking Pig BBQ Company. Paul was Pitmaster, Line Cook, Prep Cook and Server while Jessica ran the Front of House when she could.

Since then, they have been so very fortunate to have built a huge family of wonderful people who enjoy their style of BBQ. They are humbled and eternally grateful to everyone who supports them and those that love BBQ - especially to the BBQ aficionados, the true believers, who recognize the Smoking Pig BBQ Company for their commitment to traditional BBQ slow cooking methods.

BEST BEAUTY SALON IN FREMONT AND HONORABLE MENTION FOR BEST BUSINESS PERSON

Salon Valenti Hair Nails Skin & Gary Valenti Salon Valenti owner, Gary Valenti and his family moved from Boston to Fremont in 1982. Since elementary school, Gary loved to do his mom’s hair and makeup. He remembers going with her to the salon and loved watching the stylist cut and color her hair. At age 15, Gary attended Fremont Beauty College and became a licensed cosmetologist at age 17.

He worked his way up in the local salon industry from receptionist, to assistant and eventually a busy, successful stylist and educator with a large clientele. “Throughout my career I developed a passion for the salon business and grooming people. I opened Salon Valenti in 2011, starting from almost nothing. We have proudly grown into an award winning, full service salon!”

Due to high demand, in 2018 Salon Valenti expanded into a new, larger location in Fremont’s Mission San Jose district. Now called Salon Valenti Hair Nails Skin, they offer nail, facial, and waxing services in addition to hair.

Salon Valenti Hair Nails Skin is Fremont’s one-stop beauty destination for all your hair, nail and skin care needs. They are committed to providing an experience that exceeds the expectation of a typical salon visit. They use top-of-the-line products including Kerastase, Bumble & Bumble Dermalogica and OPI. Salon Valenti has won Best in Fremont Salon for the past seven years!
