Well, we have our survivors from GCMMBSSF&BvsT. It's been quite a journey so far, and now we will crown the kings of both Food & Beverage and Tech in your quest to come out of busy season with your sanity intact.

So let's get to it. We're keeping the polls open until Friday at 1 pm ET so you can stuff the channels appropriately.

The Battle of the Booze
I suppose we shouldn't be surprised to see an all-booze final in the F&B region. The dream showdown between coffee and booze was never meant to be and I suppose a liquid lunch is far fewer calories than anything at Chipotle, so there you have it.

But the real question is — do the teetotalers and those who prefer the presence of other humans outnumber the garden variety boozehounds? This is will be exciting.  

The Technology Tango
In the Tech region, the top two seeds did not disappoint. Now w e will finally determine which cause of eye strain is key to your busy season survival — looking at endless rows of numbers or the small screen that is far more interesting than your signifcant other.
