Cantina 76 wins Best Taco, Best Happy Hour and Best Margarita, and is runner-up for Best Bang for the Buck and Best Place for a First Date. Photo by John Carlos Best Taco Runner-up: Real Mexico The convenience of Cantina’s two locations — on Devine and Main streets — makes for easy taco grabbing. Whether a simple, traditional taco or an eclectic shell stuffing like fried chicken, BBQ shrimp or smoked pork, diversity with surprise triumphs. But Peruvian Shrimp, which features lightly fried shrimp and sweet sesame chili sauce topped with coleslaw, could win all by itself.

Photo by John Carlos Best Shrimp and Grits Runner-up: Mr. Friendly’s The grits are made by Adluh, which has a mill practically across the street.

Real Mexico wins Best Mexican Restaurant and Best Burrito and is runner-up for Best Taco. Photo by John Carlos Best Mexican Restaurant Real Mexico Runner-up: San Jose You’ve come a long way, Columbia. Voting Real Mexico the best Mexican restaurant in town means you appreciate authentic Mexican flavors, whether it be the sizzling molcajete or the nice traditional tacos — or the occasional caldo de res, posole or goat birria that pops up on special. The staff are friendly, too. It’s probably good this place has a heinous parking lot or you’d never actually be able to get a table. Honorable mentions:, Moctezuma’s Best Chinese Restaurant Runner-up: Egg Roll Chen Miyo’s does Chinese food right, from the ginger beef chow fun to the fried rice.

It’s also a fantastic place for a cozy date night. The veal parmigiana bursts with flavor, and the calamari is a more than worthy appetizer. Also, don’t discount “Mama Tronco’s” homemade pizza, which is sneakily one of the best pies in the city.

Honorable mentions: Ristorante Divino, Il Giorgione Best Greek Restaurant Devine Foods Runner-up: Zorba’s Free Times acknowledges the varied and high-quality menu of Greek favorites on offer at Devine Foods, but we’d like to especially acknowledge the restaurant’s chicken gyro, which doesn’t go the lazier route of just throwing grilled chicken onto a pita opted for by many other joints, but instead uses a specially made chicken-based gyro meat that’s as tasty as the eatery’s traditional beef and lamb option. We appreciate the dedication. Honorable mentions: Grecian Gardens, Greek Boys Best Japanese Restaurant Inakaya Runner-up: Miyabi Their sushi is classic with a unique touch, and they have an extensive menu of other Japanese dishes that are hard to find in Columbia. The udon is particularly good with its hardy rice noodles and rustic broth. It’s a big place, too, so tables usually aren’t hard to find, and they got those awesome private rooms where you have to take off your shoes.

Honorable mentions: Camon, Sato Best Southern Restaurant Lizard’s Thicket Runner-up: Mr. Friendly’s Sure, New Southern and fancy Southern have their place, but sometimes you just want Southern-Southern — chicken and dumplings, baby limas, collards and a biscuit.

Honorable mentions: Baan Sawan, Thailand Restaurant Best Caribbean Restaurant Island Grill Runner-up: Fire and Spice Convenient and tasty, Island Grill serves up the Caribbean classics at the corner of Harden and Taylor, from jerk chicken to oxtails to curry goat.

Andrews Road or Inakaya on O'Neill Court — makes excellent sushi. The sashimi cuts are as fresh and delicious as you’ll find in the Midlands, and the rolls run the gamut from simple pleasures to elaborate delicacies. Inakaya does sushi right. Honorable mentions: Camon, Takosushi Best Seafood Restaurant Runner-up: Bonefish Grill All the fuss over Blue Marlin largely centers around the stalwart restaurant’s famed shrimp and grits, which are admittedly top-notch. But the rest of the menu contains a variety of Lowcountry-inspired plates that prove that some traditional flavor combinations are classic for a reason.

Honorable mentions: Pearlz, Red Lobster Best Dessert Runner-up: Get the bread pudding. Watch dessert never be the same. Find all other desserts inadequate. You’ll want to roll your tongue around the dish.

Honorable mentions:, Tallulah Best Frozen Yogurt Runner-up: 32 Degrees Started in 2010 by a family of Columbians, Yoghut serves up a smorgasbord of frozen concoctions which include non-dairy, non-fat, and no-sugar-added options. Then you can throw on a plethora of toppings for a Jackson Pollock-looking cool down. They also have acai berry bowls and bubble teas.

But at the heart, it’s a local frozen yogurt shop, and that’s pretty damn unique. “We’re delighted Cola keeps us swirling,” they say on their website.

Indeed you do, Free Times readers. Honorable mentions: Menchie’s, TCBY Best Ice Cream Sweet Cream Co. Runner-up: Marble Slab This is some seriously fancy ice cream. But in a tasteful, understated manner. Go impress someone with flavors like sea salt and black pepper with local strawberries or sweet onion and fig.

Rush’s is runner-up for Best Food Chain, Best Hot Dog and Best Milkshake. Photo by John Carlos Best Milkshake Cook Out Runner-up: Rush’s Somewhere along the line, some milkshakes got all fancy, with whipped cream and booze and multiple ingredients and high prices.

Cook Out has no use for that — this is the home of the cheap, simple milkshake. Pull up to the drive-thru, choose from the ample list (we’re partial to peanut butter-fudge), fork over your hard-earned cash and drive away with a creamy, sweet wonder. Honorable mentions:, Zesto Best Mobile Food 2 Fat 2 Fly Runner-up: Wurst Wagen There’s nothing we can say that will quite prepare you for the giddy elation you’ll get when you first bite into a juicy, perfectly spiced chicken wing to find it’s also stuffed with rich, creamy mac and cheese.

18 marked the fourth anniversary of involving some 40 million customer credit and debit cards. It has been fascinating in the years since that epic intrusion to see how organized cyber thieves have shifted from targeting big box retailers to hacking a broad swath of small to mid-sized merchants. In many ways, not much has changed: The biggest underground shops that sell stolen cards still index most of their cards by ZIP code. Only, the ZIP code corresponds not to the legitimate cardholder’s billing address but to the address of the hacked store at which the card in question was physically swiped (the reason for this is that buyers of these cards tend to prefer cards used by people who live in their geographic area, as the subsequent fraudulent use of those cards tends to set off fewer alarm bells at the issuing bank).

Last week I was researching a story published here this week on how. And I noticed that popular carding store had just posted a new batch of cards dubbed “ Dynamittte,” which boasted some 7 million cards advertised as “100 percent” valid — meaning the cards were so fresh that even the major credit card issuers probably didn’t yet know which retail or restaurant breach caused this particular breach.

An advertisement for a large new batch of stolen credit card accounts for sale at the Joker’s Stash Dark Web market. Translation: These stolen cards were far more likely to still be active and useable after fraudsters encode the account numbers onto fake plastic and use the counterfeits to go shopping in big box stores.

I pinged a couple of sources who track when huge new batches of stolen cards hit the market, and both said the test cards they’d purchased from the Joker’s Stash Dynamittte batch mapped back to customers who all had one thing in common: They’d all recently eaten at a. Jason’s Deli is a fast casual restaurant chain based in Beaumont, Texas, with approximately 266 locations in 28 states.

Seeking additional evidence as to the source of the breach, I turned to the Jason’s Deli Web site and scraped the ZIP codes for their various stores across the country. Then I began comparing those ZIPs with the ZIPs tied to this new Dynamittte batch of cards at Joker’s Stash.

Checking my work were the folks at, a threat intelligence startup in California that monitors Dark Web marketplaces and tries to extract useful information from them. Mindwise found a nearly 100 percent overlap between the ZIP codes on the “ Blasttt-US” unit of the Dynamittte cards for sale and the ZIP codes for Jason’s Deli locations. Reached for comment, Jason’s Deli released the following statement: “On Friday, Dec.
