No, you're not imagining it. The top three finishers in our second Top 100 Restaurants list reads exactly the same as the first time we let readers pick the best dining spots in central Iowa.
In late 2009, about 1,700 foodies submitted their personal top-10 lists, which culminated in a top three of Centro, Latin King and Django. Last month we launched the Top 100 project again, which culminated in a top three of... Centro, Latin King and Django (Central Iowans are nothing if not consistent).
See the full list and read how it worked.
