GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - And then there were 10.
A panel of judges will determine this Saturday the winner of the Grandwich competition -- Grand Rapids restaurants creating a sandwich that will be synonymous with the city.
Nicole Infante, who presented in the March 5x5 panel, came up with the signature sandwich contest.
"The ultimate goals of the competition are to support local business, to put Grand Rapids on the culinary map, and, in general, to taste a lot of different and delicious sandwiches," Infante said in a news release.
For two weeks, the participating restaurants put their sandwiches on their menus giving the public the opportunity to vote for their favorite. Now the Top 10 restaurants have been chosen --
The finalists will hand out samples of their sandwiches during the judging competition on Saturday from 1-3 p.m. at Rosa Parks Circle. The public can attend with admission being a donation to the Kids' Food Basket -- either monetary or an item on the Kids' Food Basket wish list
Re: Granwich finalists list
I had the Grandwich at the BOB. It was awesome.
It's great that there is a charity element to this.
Kids Food Basket got very lucky in getting some key supporters in the area from early on. It is the "It" charity with the local "in the knows" and bigwigs.
I love this contest - for the emphasis on local food and the charity aspect.
We didn't get to try any of the Granwiches, however. Bummer, because I'm sure they are all delicious.
