How are the Best of Big D 2024 winners selected?
For eleven months, the D Magazine editors revisited old favorites and checked out the latest openings. They asked for suggestions, talked to the experts, and compared notes. Our editors select winners based entirely on merit and grit. Advertising does not affect the editor’s list in any way, shape, or form.
When will the Best of Big D 2024 winners be announced?
The complete list of winners will featured in the August 2024 issue of D Magazine and will be featured in the Winter 2024 issue of D Home. You can view the 2023 D Magazine‘s list of winners here.
