We would like to take some time to announce the winners of the Best of the Fest for the first annual Hamilton Waterfront Wingfest!
On our panel of judges were; Councillor Chad Collins, our site co-ordinator Chris Firth-Eagland, our Master of ceremonies from Big Time Productions Bruce Mowat and Stefan Lozinski, the President and Chief Executive Officer of SHEEZO Media Group.
Along with a panel of judges to decide the best of the fest, the Hamilton Spectator collected ballots over the course of the weekend to determine the winners according to the People.
1.) Best Looking Booth
The first category judged by the panel of judges was the Best Looking Chicken Wing Booth. This category was based on signage being a clear display of the restaurant name, a visible menu and price listing, creativity in that you are drawn to the booth and the visual appeal of the staff.
2nd Place - Corktown Pub
1st Place - Thirsty Cactus
2.) Best Hot Chicken Wing
The next category titled the Best Hot Chicken Wing was based on the heat, the flavour and the sauce. The three sub categories were rated on a one to five scale, 5 being the hottest, the most flavourful and the sauciest.
Scorching the hearts and souls of our judges AND the Hamilton Spectator’s people’s choice award goes to…
5 Alarm Wings with their 5 alarm in house home ground recipe.
3.) Most Unique Sauce
The most unique sauce which was judged by originality and flavour on a one to five scale, five being the most original and the most flavourful
Wingfest winner - Ye Olde Squire’s
