And now the end is near.
But before our first Food and Drink Awards comes to an end, we're serving up one final course.
Over the past month, we have been celebrating the best dishes, pubs and takeaways.
A new category has been revealed every Monday evening on our website appealing for your suggestions.
The most popular are then entered into an online ballot on Friday lunchtimes where readers can vote for their favourites.
The overall winners will be revealed in a special feature in the St Helens Star this autumn.
Whether it's Italian, Indian, Chinese or you simply know somewhere that serves the best steak in town we want to hear from you as we search for readers' favourite restaurant in St Helens.
Post your suggestions below, tweet them to @sthelensstar or post them on our St Helens Star Facebook wall.
And don’t forget to check on Friday if your favourite has made the cut when we launch our online vote.
