It's that time of year again, the time when The Inlander's readers flock together to vote Clinkerdagger Spokane's best restaurant and Taco Bell best fast food. And... Does anyone actually care anymore? I mean, really? I suppose we're writing about it, but I can pretty much promise that this will be it.
