The 2018 Triad’s Best

Greetings!

Welcome to our favorite issue of the year, The Triad’s Best! As many of you may know, this is our biggest and most read issue all year and something we spend several months working on. This year’s voting was incredible. We saw many repeat winners and Triad favorites claim wins and runner-up honors. There were also a lot of newcomers to jump out ahead. The way we listed everyone this year is pretty simple: There are “winners” and “runners-up.” As voting was fierce and highly competitive, you will see additional runners-up listed. This was done due to the closeness of the vote counts, and in some cases ties in the runner-up categories.

There are many people to thank for making this issue possible:

-To our readers, thank you for picking up our awesome paper, taking time to vote, and offering your suggestions and ideas.

-To the winners and runners-up, congratulations to you and know that we are all so glad to have you and your business in the Triad. We could not do this without you, and we appreciate being apart of your growth and success!

– To Alex and Austin, the best design staff in the Triad! Thank you so much for your diligence and patience on this enormous issue.

-To the sales team, simple and sweet: you crushed it!

– To our writers and photographers, thank you so much for making it happen.

Show your support and share photos of your favorite winners and runners-up on social media by tagging us and using the hashtag #YESTriadsBest2018.

The Triad’s Best Art Gallery

Weatherspoon Art Museum

The Weatherspoon Art Museum is an art gallery owned by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro that is free and open to the public.

“It always feels like an honor to be named the best gallery,” director Nancy Doll said. “It indicates to me that we are presenting the kinds of exhibitions and programs that are engaging and meaningful to people. Your support helps us makes it happen and were very grateful to everybody who supports us and visits us.”

When people think of the Weatherspoon, they think of contemporary art and challenging exhibitions, Doll said.  “I don’t mean artistically, but challenging them to look at things through different points of view, to look at issues and to get a better understanding of the state of art today.”

The new exhibition, “Dread and Delight: Fairy Tales in an Anxious World” opens on Aug. 25.

Triad’s Best Visual Artist

Art by JoMo

Artist Jordan Morris, aka JoMo, wrote in a Facebook message that there must have been a mistake when he got the news that he was voted the Triad’s Best Visual Artist. He wrote that there were many talented artists that were nominated and some that weren’t. He wrote that it feels great to have “garnered that kind of support to come out on top.”

“It’s so good to know there are plenty of other strange and fun humans out there still, and seriously awesome,” Morris wrote. “Many thanks to anyone that’s supported me throughout the years. I’d also like to thank the negative or toxic ones too, Y’all get me even more hungry to do more and better.”

Morris said his Gucci Mane ice cream cone and the “infamous scrotus, aka Trump nuts” is what people think of when they hear Art by JoMo. Coming up, Morris will be attending Adult Swim On The Green in Raleigh on June 3, Zinefest at Revolution Mill on July 29 and he hopes to be back at the Food Truck Festival in August.

Triad’s Best Tattoo/ Piercing Studio

Art Attack Tattoo

Owner Marc Rainville opened Art Attack 10 years ago with a mission to provide “a different type of atmosphere and attitude,” he wrote in an email. Even though there are other “amazing studios” in the Triad, Rainville wrote that it is “truly an honor” for Art Attack to win the Triad’s Best Tattoo/Piercing Studio.

“After being runner-up numerous times,  it’s exciting to have finally claimed the top spot,” he wrote. “I certainly don’t take credit individually, as I realize it’s always been a team effort. I’ve been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work alongside an amazing group of artists and friends. All of them have been instrumental in some way and contributed to our ongoing success.”

Without the support from “wonderful clientele,” Rainville wrote that  “none of what we have done, or will continue to do in the future, would even be possible. So, to all that continue to show us your love and support, thank you.”

Triad’s Best Club/Party DJ

DJ Snow

DJ Snow (whose real name actually is D.J. Snow) wrote in an email that it feels great and is an honor to have been voted the Triad’s Best Club/Party DJ for 2018. Snow wrote that he has been a DJ in the Triad for more than 15 years and has been a resident/DJ for almost every nightclub that has been in the Triad. DJ Snow’s current residency is at The Last Resort for Wake Forest’s college night on Thursdays and he also spins at Nitro’s in Randleman and will be spinning at Bongos Night Club in Winston-Salem starting June 7.

“ I like to thank all the fans, friends and relatives for taking the time out of your day to vote for me,” he wrote. “I know we all have super busy lives and to ask someone to pause what they are doing and take 10 minutes to vote for me is asking a lot. I’m honored to have been nominated. There are a lot of great DJs in this area and I am so grateful that I was chosen to be this year’s Best Club DJ.”

The Triad’s Most Original And Unique Bar

Monstercade

Owner Carlos Bocanegra and general manager Laurie Ruroden wrote in an email that they wanted Monstercade to win “Best Morgue,” “but, alas, we came in 4th. So, this is just as good!” Bocanegra and Ruroden wrote that Monstercade was voted the Triad’s Most Original and Unique Bar because “Twas the will of Xenu, Obviously…” They would like to say to voters and supporters, “from the hearts of our bottoms, thank you!” Ruroden and Bocanegra wrote that when people think of Monstercade, they usually “think of the smell” and Monstercade is most known for “having the worst ‘Caprese Salad’ in town (Try the ‘Shawarma’).” Some memorable moments from Monstercade have been “Dropping a pair of golden, bejeweled  testicles on Trump’s head for New Year’s, The ‘Mystery Date Bachelor Auction’ for ‘Planned Parenthood,’ The Psychic Toe Reader, oh and our monthly ‘Nite Moves Dance Party,’ of course!” In the near future, Monstercade will be having “Monster Flea: A designer-toy/pop/lowbrow/weirdo art/design/apparel pop-up Flea Market” on June 24, “Cure-eoke: Robert Smith Look-A-Like Karaoke” on July 4 and “The 70’s Dickso Dance Party” a Winston-Salem PRIDE fundraiser on July 27.

The Triad’s Best Food Truck

Boone Doggies

Drew Ausley is the owner and operator of the black and yellow food truck with the big yellow dog and Appalachian State logos on it. Boone Doggies Food Truck serves all-beef hot dogs, all-beef smoked sausages and hand cut french fries. Ausley has been driving Boone Doggies around the Triad since 2014.

“I was doing a little shopping and when [I got] the news I was just fist-pumping in the middle of the aisle. I was overly ecstatic,” Ausley said when he learned Boone Doggies won the Triad’s Best Food Truck.  “We’ve been setting up in the same location for the past four years (intersection of Stratford and Clemmonsville Road) we’ve just developed a really awesome following and great people come out and support us. A lot of folks come out a couple times a week. We just definitely wouldn’t be where we are today without their continued support these past four years.”

The Best Reason To Live In The Triad

Zenfield Kombucha

Owner Maggie Infield wrote in an email that “it feels pretty amazing” that her small business Zenfield Kombucha won the 2018 Best Reason to live in the Triad award.

“I would like to say ‘thank you!’ for all of the love and support you have shown me since I started this journey,” Infield wrote. “Thank you for giving myself and my product a chance. This has been a dream come true for me and would have never been possible had it not been for the Kitchen Connects GSO program. I am forever grateful for each and every one of you!”

Infield said she believes Zenfield Kombucha deserves this award because it is different than all the other brands of kombucha in the Triad. She wrote that it has a “fizzy, never flat, refreshing taste” and is made in Greensboro with locally sourced ingredients (when available) from Farlow Farm and Shorefarm Organics.

“You can find Zenfield Kombucha in High Point, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Asheville and Black Mountain,” Infield wrote. “And remember, ‘Life is too short to drink flat booch!’”

The Triad’s Best Podcast

Free Pizza

Daniel White and Jacob Beeson are the hosts of the podcast Free Pizza, that has been running for “a year and some change” now.

“The long-term goal is to get free pizza,” Beeson said.

White said Free Pizza is a podcast that celebrates the lives of a variety of different creatives in the Triad.

“I think with any artistic endeavor, you have ups and downs and this is one of the ups that makes the downs better,” Beeson said of winning The Triad’s Best Podcast. “I can’t thank you enough, we did not expect to win. We didn’t think it was even possible.”

“There are so many things that happen in the Triad (and the surrounding world) that takes people’s attention and it is cool that people took time to listen to what we are doing and to vote for us, I think that is a very big victory,” White said. “Big shout out to everyone that voted because that is amazing and we can’t thank you enough. Stay tuned we have a lot of things coming that is more than a podcast.”

The Triad’s Best Consignment Shop

Vintage To Vogue

Owner Jenn Graf said when people think of Vintage To Vogue they think of its “uniqueness” and its “one-of-a-kind” clothing.

“It feels amazing receiving validation for all of our hard work and having some of the most amazing consigners, customers, and clients that come in. It feels like all the hard work is paying off,” Graf said of winning the Triad’s Best Consignment Shop. “We are a consignment store but we also try to be so much more. We want people to have an experience walking in the door. If it wasn’t for people that follow Vintage To Vogue on social media, consign and shop with us, the point would be moot. We owe everything to the people that show us support. And we are very humbled by winning the award for Best Consignment.”

Vintage To Vogue will have a grand opening at the end of June to celebrate moving to a new location at 530 S. Elm St. in Greensboro. Follow Vintage To Vogue on social media to learn more details.

The Triad’s Best Thrift Clothing Store

Revision Vintage

Lindsey Sprague, Pam Cooper, Brittany Rudd, Kristin McGhee and Kim McHone are all co-owners of Revision Vintage. After being only one year in business, Cooper said it feels awesome to win The Triad’s Best Thrift Clothing Store.

“We put a lot of love into it and try to make it fun and affordable for the community,” Cooper said. “We are happy that we are getting a good response. So we really appreciate it. Our customers, friends, family and everybody has helped make it possible for us.”

The pricing, aesthetic, curation and oddities make Revision Vintage different than other thrift stores in the Triad, Cooper said. The five women all have different styles, but similar tastes and they keep their inventory “fresh all the time.”

Coming soon, Revision Vintage plans to celebrate one year with live music and food in the summer but there is no set date yet. Follow Revision Vintage on social media for more details.

The Triad’s Best Radio Personality 

Chris Kelly of Rock 92’s“Two Guys Named Chris”

Co-hosts Chris Kelly and Chris Demm (along with producer Josh “Biggie” Ellinger and meteorologist Dave Aiken) make up the team for the “Two Guys Named Chris” radio show on Rock 92.3.

 Kelly said it “feels very nice” to be voted as the Triad’s Best Radio Personality, but he made it clear that the show is a “total team effort.”

“I’d like to thank [YES! Weekly readers] for voting for me,” Kelly said. “I assume there was some Russian hacking involved. Certainly, there had to be, and I’m sure this will be investigated for at least two years. It is really nice for people to continue to support the morning show because we have been on such a long time. I just want to say thank you for doing that because we take a lot of pride in it, and it’s really rewarding when we win an award like this.”

“Two Guys Named Chris” airs Monday through Friday 6 a.m. to 11 a.m.
