The SOUPer Bowl Committee of the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce turned this premiere foodie event into a safe and fun contest – in people’s homes! SOUPer Bowl XVI took place on Feb. 4.
Local restaurants donated their best soups to the event. But instead of a large gathering, people went to the Chamber’s website and signed up to be a taster. The soup reservations were sold out for the third year in a row!
On SOUPer Bowl Saturday, each person who signed up went to the Archangel Michael Greek Orthodox Church, drove to the kitchen door and was given a reusable tote bag full of 6-ounce portions of the soups to take home. They then heated and tasted the soups and voted online for their favorites. Kids voted for their favorite soup, too, to determine the Kids’ Choice.
The votes were tallied and this year the SOUPer Bowl Champs are:
People’s Choice: Wild Honey for their Chicken Gumbo with Steamed Rice Soup
Kids’ Choice: Sullivan’s Quay for their Potato Leek Soup
All the community-spirited restaurants received raves from the tasters for their delicious, tasty soups and they are sure to be selling a lot of it in the coming weeks. The other restaurants are Ayhan’s Mediterranean Marketplace, Ayhan’s Shish Kebab, Cactus Café, Carlo’s Pizza, Finn MacCool’s, Margarita’s Café, Port Washington Diner, Toscanini and Yummy Gyro.
Chamber President Debbie Greco Cohen said they are very grateful to the sponsors who support our community and make this event possible.
