In the initial week of Patch’s Best of Deerfield series, the Hamantaschen from Deerfields Bakery was the runaway winner. With the Jewish holiday of Purim starting at sundown Wednesday, people celebrating the holiday will be rushing to buy the traditional triangular pastry eaten for the festivities and Patch wants them to know where to go. Of the 18 votes cast, 17 people chose Deerfields with one preferring the Z Best brand at Jewel.

On Monday, Patch will publish the next in the Best of Deerfield series.
