Saturday Evening Live GMG Tuna Challenge Nominations Update. Only 15 hours left to vote and there are two slots completely up for grabs!!!

Vote in the comment section on this link:

https://goodmorninggloucester.com/2021/03/10/nominations-are-now-open-for-the-gmg-gloucesters-best-tuna-sub-challenge-and-will-run-through-sunday-at-8am/

You can only vote once and anonymous votes don’t count.

Judges should not submit a nomination.  It shows bias and I want the most impartial judges possible. Thank You.

There will also be voting on Facebook which will be added. If you vote twice both of your votes will be removed.

Nomination period runs through Sunday at 8AM (or until Joey deems four joints clear runaways).

Once we tally up the top four sub shops according to your nominations, 4 GMG contributors independently and at the same time order the exact same subs to go from the nominated sub shops.  We pick them up and bring them back to the dock.

Then we place them on the digital scale for the Weigh-In.  We will divide the weight into the price and come up with the best value weight wise. Then we cut it in half and then in quarters to look at the cross section for the equal distribution of tuna.  If a place loads up the sub in the middle and leaves the ends empty they will be exposed.  Packaging and Sogginess Factor will be a new category which will be scored as well.

Then we each take a quarter of the sub and grade based on taste.

We will present the findings in a post to the readership.

I’m pumped for this challenge!

So start sending in your nominations now in the comment section of this post (again if you don’t see words that say leave a comment directly below this post then click on the title of the post and you should see where you can submit a nomination).

Also please share the link through Facebook or twitter using the buttons below the post to get the most nominations as possible.

A New Home

Building a new home is a big endeavor. It’s full of excitement and brimming with new opportunity but it can be overwhelming.Creating a new home comes with a thousand you choices about things you might never have thought about before. For most if not all of these choices, there will be no ‘one right answer.’

Medallion Cabinetry, wood + white

Our homes are a reflection of the people who live in them, it’s subjective, and it can sometimes be hard to make such unique and personal choices.With so many beautiful options for a home, it can be really hard to choose just one. Many of our friends and extended family will have thoughts and opinions, that are wonderful, but might not necessarily lead to the best space for you.

Nestled high on a hill in West Gloucester, this home is surrounded by views of the Ipswich Bay and Gloucester, a true 360° ofbeauty. Sitting in…
