The Minnesota Best Awards were just revealed, and there were plenty of winners coming out of Central Minnesota.

One Central Minnesota diner took home 7 of these awards. Lynn's Diner in Watkins will have to make room on the wall for what they won.

How Does Minnesota's Best Work?

According to the Minnesota's Best website, the contest is audience-driven. Businesses are nominated by owners, managers, customers, and/or fans. There is no cost for businesses to participate in the contest. The public then gets to vote once a day for nominated businesses, and the three with the highest vote totals take home some hardware.
