The SERBC is almost upon us, which means it’s time to peruse this year’s competitors for trends, hunks and sugar cookies. First up, you’ll notice some of the big regional names – Lem Butler, Ben Helfin – aren’t competing this year, but there are plenty of competitors for whom this won’t be their first trip to the rodeo. This includes 2010 MARBC winner Jeremy Sterner, and Brandon Malcolm of Empire State South (which is not a cafe in the strictest sense, but in fact a delicious restaurant on Peachtree Street that serves Counter Culture) . You may also notice that a few companies are dominating this year’s field. 1000 Faces? More like 1000 Competitors.
