There's been the usual squawking over the Best of Denver -- complaints about the editorial picks in various categories, and much louder complaints over many of the readers' choices. And, of course, there have been the standard queries about why the editorial picks are given so much more prominence than the Readers' Choice awards.

Our answer: Consider the Best Fried Chicken award.

Please tell me that White Fence Farm for Best Fried Chicken is an April Fool's joke! Please! I'm begging here!

Sorry, the readers have spoken -- and their pick for the Best Fried Chicken is White Fence Farm. While that fried chicken isn't bad -- we know of a group of otherwise respectable chefs who go to White Fence Farm every year for a bird birthday bash -- Cafe Society chose Tom's Home Cookin' for the Best Fried Chicken in Denver. Take a bite, and we know you'll agree.
