Sentence check

Hi,

Somehow, I've slowly managed to try almost all the places that won the 2008 reader's poll that I had/have never eaten at before.... Flavors, Chicago Pizza Factory, now Niu Sushi, which won for Best Sushi/Sashimi.

Should I use had or have in this situation? Please explain your answer. Thank you.

The explanation is that your sentence is wrongly constructed. Somehow, I've slowly managed to try almost all the places that won the 2008 reader's poll but which I had/have never eaten at before : Flavors, Chicago Pizza Factory, now Niu Sushi, which won for Best Sushi/Sashimi. Either perfect aspect will work.
