the Best of the Best The Best of Northern Nevada Winners’ Guide The RN&R’s annual Best of Northern Nevada contest is our pride and joy. Every year, tens of thousands of readers vote for their favorite local people, places and things.

We already announced this year’s winners in our massive Best of Northern Nevada issue back in August. But this week’s Winner’s Guide issue is something a little different: It’s a chance for the winners to address our readers directly—to say “thanks” or “we appreciate our supporters” or

2 | Best of NortherN Nevada W i nne r s’ Gui de | 10.04.18

“screw off, haters” or whatever else. It’s also a chance to give some recognition to the second and third place winners, who are listed online but not in the initial BONN issue.

And perhaps most importantly, it gives readers a chance to have all the winners in a handy little guide that they can use all-year-round.

We changed some of the voting rules this year and introduced a primary round. Those tweaks resulted in more upsets than usual—a lot of firsttime winners. Welcome to one of the most prestigious clubs in Northern Nevada, friends! But equal congrats are also due to the long-tenured winners who have kept their streaks alive.

Folks, keep an eye out for those winning plaques.

They’re a sign of quality. And local businesses: Beware of shady con artists trying to get you to buy framed plaques. Those people don’t work for us.

We give away the winners’ plaques for free. And, everybody, beware of shady imitation contests.

And thanks again to painter Jaxon Northon for the brilliant artwork. He took a very personal approach to each category and chose portrait subjects from his personal experience of Nevada history growing up here in the ’80s and ’90s.

Huge thanks to everybody who took the time to vote this year.

And congratulations to all the winners! Ω

410 E. 6th. St., REno R no 775-324-0911 GreG Doyle, owner

When & hoW hoW did you get started in this business?

As a student at Reno High School I had access to the best industrial education. I spent four years in auto shop and then on to trade school. I have experience in dealerships, gas stations, franchises and independent repair.

That’s why I decided to open a local garage.

What inspires you to go to Work every day?

Greg’s Garage is a place of trust and value.

Diagnosing and repairing problems, whether technical or mechanical, is gratifying. Auto repair always changes so there is a lot to learn. I’m proud that our services help support the community..

PIGNIC

any ny advice for people Who ho Want ant to make their business the best?

Follow up on your customers; not everyone has a good experience. A letter of appreciation might give you another chance to make it right

R YA N G O L D H A MME R & T RE V O R L E P P E K

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOUR BUSINESS IN THE NEXT FUTURE?

I earned my chops in the club and college bar scene during college. I technically started tending bar by chance. I was helping promote a college night at a club and one of the bartenders was well let’s say unable to work. So the owner asked me if I wanted to tend bar and fill in. I said yes obviously as a young 21 year old and then they hired me on.

We have the addition of the Revision Brewing Co. Reno Tap Room coming soon and the ability to sell growlers, crowlers, beer and wine to customers who would like to enjoy their beverages at home.

We are also adding a food trailer with Southern Creole inspired BBQ to provide the option of not cooking if folks are not that adventurous and don’t feel like cooking their own food

WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO GO TO WORK EVERY DAY?

ANY ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MAKE THEIR BUSINESS “THE BEST”?

People. Seeing people happy because they have a delicious cocktail in front of them enjoying conversations with friends or new friends. Getting to meet and converse with those people, learning about them and from them is a great part of the job. Also we have an awesome team at Pignic and they make us strive to be the best neighborhood bar we can be. They’re livelihood also depends on it.

Why do you think rn rn& &r readers voted you the best?

235 FLINT STREET • RENO (775) 376-1948 HOW DID YOU GET THE BACKGROUND AND SKILLS NECESSARY TO RUN THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS?

We stand behind our workmanship. We address the complaint first, other areas of concern second. We repair vehicles instead of replacing parts

NORTHERN

Being present and accountable. A lot of businesses fail because they don’t run themselves. You cannot fake passion and people will know when you care.

Lastly surround yourself with an amazing team of people to help you execute your dreams. You know what they say about it taking a village? That is the truth!

We get a lot of positive feedback from our clients. We already know our doggy clients love us, so when we hear our human clients telling us how much they trust us and how much more enriched their dogs’ lives are now, it is very inspiring and motivating!

where here do you see your18 business in the future?

Our expansion should be complete by the end of this year. More boarding, more enrichment areas, more open play spaces… we are really excited about it! We also plan on having a farm area and a special events room for specific enrichment programs.

The Discovery was founded in 2004 by local entrepreneur Chris Riche, and a group of motivated community members, who recognized Northern Nevada’s need for a hands-on science center. The museum opened to the public on September 10, 2011.

WHAT MAKES YOUR BUSINESS DIFFERENT THAN YOUR COMPETITORS?

ANY ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MAKE THEIR BUSINESS “THE BEST”?

Hearing from members of our community about how proud they are to have a community asset like The Discovery. Getting accolades from out-of-town visitors is nice, too

HOW DID YOU GET THE BACKGROUND AND SKILLS NECESSARY TO RUN THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS? Picasso & Wine is a partnership of two sisters, Alissa & Alanna. Alissa took art classes throughout her life and attended the Art Institute in Denver CO. Alanna has over 23 years bar experience. We are able to individually focus on our area of the business and it comes together perfectly!

WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO GO TO WORK EVERY DAY?

We put the ART in PARTY! www.picasso-wine.com 16 | Best of NortherN Nevada W i nne r s’ Gui d e | 10.04.18

This is a fun, social and colorful business to be involved in! We have the pleasure of meeting new people everyday, and we see the smiles and fun our customers have on a daily basis. It means a lot to us that an experience at our studio affects our customers in such a fun, creative and positive way!

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOUR BUSINESS IN THE NEXT YEAR?

18

We see us continuing to grow and perfect our craft.

We hope to continue to be a positive influence in our community and customers lives. Our newest location in Sparks Victorian Square will open later this year, and it will be a bit different than the current studios. Different art projects, live music and a beautiful bar serving wine, handcrafted cocktails and draft beer. Next 5 or 10 years? Who knows... maybe we will eventually franchise!

ANY ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MAKE THEIR BUSINESS THE BEST? To be “The Best” you have to be open to change and growth. You also have to be passionate about your business and what you do every day! Never settle and always push forward as hard as you can!

NortherN

681 s. virginia st • reno, nv 89509 (775) 355-1010 kevin cox, owner

When & hoW hoW did you get started in this business?

1992 - In Santa Cruz, then opened a shop here in 1995. I got started tattooing friends first, then apprenticed, then after a few years I opened up here in Reno

What inspires you to go to Work every day?

Working with a great group of guys and creating beautiful works of art on people.

Why do you think rn&r readers voted you the best?

Consistently the best artists - same crew for essentially 17 years - unheard of in tattooing.

Going to the shop you went to years ago for your first and having the same guy do your kid’s first is pretty cool! Quality, consistency, and friendly, reliable artists definitely helped.

18

What makes your business difdif ferent than your competitors?

Great crew of amazing artists. The core of employees have been here since the beginning and we try to relate to each customer individually, as each person is different than the next.

any ny advice for people Who Want to make their business “the best”?

Remember why you got in the business to begin with. You must have passion for what you are doing in order to succeed. We fell that the public can see if you’re only in it to make a buck.

Chef Bill GilBert

When & hoW hoW did you get started in this business?

I had a dream of opening a French Bistro.

Family conversations led to my in-laws Jerry and Teresa and my wife Trisha becoming partners in Beaujolais Bistro. Shortly before we opened, by chance, I met Jaquies Nolle at the Siena and voila, we had our own wait staff and then our kitchen staff came together.

So here we are ten years later, and we are thankful for all the people who helped make Beaujolais Bistro possible: our dedicated employees, supportive family, the city of Reno, and, most importantly, our wonderful patrons.

Over time we’ve found better ways to do things, new dishes, new wines and new faces. After ten years, I’m even more passionate about French cooking and eager to share my evolving vision of a French bistro with you.

ANYTHING NEW AND EXCITING HAPPENING? We celebrated our one year Anniversary for Noble Pie Parlor Midtown this summer and hosted some great events with our neighbors in Midtown! We’ve continued our sponsorship of The Holland Project and we’re happy to partner with the Reno Mural Expo as a sponsor which is happening all around Reno next week!

We overhauled our kitchen at the downtown store at the beginning of Summer to add more efficient fryers and an additional oven to speed up ticket times. As well as a few other upgrades including a new flooring and a fresh coat of paint. Currently we’re working with on a dining room/bar updated layout that will increase our seating, better order flow to speed up the process with an additional POS system, more draft beers, etc.”

with the product. We can’t be everything to everyone, but we take it very personally and we try our best to make improvements on a daily basis

WHY DO YOU THINK RN&R READERS VOTED YOU THE BEST? I believe that the readers and this community have had a huge void in their options for fast, quality food in the downtown area (especially late at night). We take an incredible level of pride to tweaking and re-tweaking all of the recipes, processes, and scrutiny of which suppliers we use and product we accept. The tomatoes for the sauce are San Marzano. The meats are Boar’s Head and are sliced daily. Our flour in a blend and quality that only our shop purchases (to my knowledge).

WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO GO TO WORK EVERY DAY? I think a passion and true pride to put out the best pizza (and everything else) that we can make. Having people go out of their way to let you know that it is the BEST pizza, wings, salad, etc that they have ever had or ever had outside of New York is a truly amazing feeling. It also hurts deeply when people are unhappy
