Our staff picks and voters' choice winners Every May, we reconnect with our good friend BOB, and the guy just keeps changing on us. A couple of years ago, he was into artisanal doughnuts, acai bowls, car detailers, and custom jewelers. This year, trend-chaser that he is, he’s all about brunch boards, THC seltzers, disc golf, plant-based frozen desserts that taste like something other than siliconized caulk, and, of course, tinned fish. He’s all over the place.
