'We're on the right track': Winners announced at Caller-Times 2022 Best of the Best awards

After more than 1,300 nominations and more than 83,000 votes, 155 awards were given at the 2022 Best of the Best Corpus Christi Caller-Times Official Community Choice Awards on Tuesday.

Held at the American Bank Center, the ceremony was emceed by Eric Fow, regional sales manager for Gannett, and Miss Texas 2022 Averie Bishop.

Since 1997, the Caller-Times has held the annual readers' choice contest to determine the best businesses and people in various food, service and entertainment categories.

Nominations were made online in May and voting was in July.

Local business Halcyon Med Spa was the winner for Best Facial/Massage Therapy. Owner Heather Lenheart said the award means a lot to her and her staff because it was from the community.

"We take great pride knowing we have served our community well, and this award validates that we're on the right track," Lenheart said. "At the end of the day, we always make sure our clients are happy. If they're happy, I know we're doing a good job."

The winner of three awards, Joel Pike, owner of Pike's Grill and The Lunch Guy, said he was at a loss for words but wanted to thank everyone who voted for him.

"It's been a rough couple of years trying to nurse two brand-new brands through the pandemic, but we're still here, and hopefully this means we will be around a lot longer," Pike said. "This recognition is a really good measurement of how we're doing in the community. If we can be recognized every year, that is certainly not a bad thing. One can hope."
