Over the past few months, thousands of people voted in Wichita’s Most Liked Restaurant series. After all the votes were counted and restaurants advanced, it was Station 8 BBQ who outlasted 127 other restaurants in Wichita to win the title of Wichita’s Most Liked Restaurant.
It was a tournament held on our Facebook page for quite some time. People were tasked with voting on individual matchups until there was a sole winner.
The final was truly a nailbiter as the finale was held over a 24-hour period. It came down to Station 8 BBQ vs. Buster’s Burger Joint. The voting was extremely close.
After it was all said and done, the BBQ restaurant located at 1100 E 3rd St. N. won by roughly a 200-vote margin. To be honest, both were winners and got loads of support from their followings. And for Buster’s Burger Joint is was their second time making the finals.
Station 8 BBQ will now be retired from the Most Liked Restaurant, perhaps opening the door for Buster’s to finally take home the title.
To those of you who have been able to just take a step back and enjoy the tournament for what it was, thank you. I hope you’ve been able to have some fun, the banter about restaurants, discovering new places you may not have heard of and clicking on random pictures for the last month and a half. For those who found it overwhelming or inconceivable to compare two restaurants of different genres, thank you for attempting to expand your horizons.
While we all know any social media poll is a big popularity contest, many were able to take a step back and enjoy the fun of it.
Kudos to the Final Four of Ziggy’s Pizza, Georges French Bistro, Busters, and Station 8 BBQ. It was a lot of fun reading the banter and having something besides political and negative stuff fill our feeds.
