Close, but no victory for Walla Walla chefs
WALLA WALLA- Walla Walla will not enjoy the sweet taste of victory in this year's Best of Road contest.

Sante Fe snatched away the city's chance of back-to-back wins with its superior eats.

Walla Walla was a finalist in the Rand McNally-U-S-A Today contest for Best Small Town Food.

It was just last year, Walla Walla won "friendliest small town" in the same contest.

The judges said Walla Walla was lacking variety for food in this competition.
