We’ve reached the El-Eat 8 of The Hunger Games: Wichita’s Most Liked Restaurant Tournament Bracket.
If you’re just now catching up. This is our third go around to have some fun and determine not necessarily Wichita’s Best Restaurant, but more so Wichita’s Most Liked Restaurant as it pertains to my social media following.
The first two times we did it, it was Tanya’s Soup Kitchen and Tacos tj 664 who bested the other restaurants to claim the championship. After the wins, they were retired and not included in this year’s so we could spread the love to others. Please remember, the most liked restaurant in Wichita for our page is determined by social media clicks. This isn’t science, this isn’t for any big trophy; it’s all for bragging rights and to have some fun.
For some people, it’s beyond comprehension to compare two restaurants that are different genres. People frequently do it at home fighting about where to eat. In other industries, awards are giving out such as the Grammy’s, Oscars, MTV whatever awards that are genre-agnostic. People, it’s doable.
Note:
• It’s a most liked restaurant tournament, not determining what’s the best
• You can vote on whichever restaurant you like the most, or you don’t have to vote at all, or you can vote both
• If someone were to ask you what your favorite restaurant is, this tournament poses a similar scenario
• Don’t over think it, it’s just for fun. Restaurants don’t have to pay to be a part of it, there isn’t some advertisement heavy awards program after that or a cash grab to get more advertising revenue from restaurants
THE UPDATE
After months of voting, we have hit the El-Eat 8 of Wichita’s Most Liked Restaurant.
Lots of powerhouse matchups featuring different cuisines from all local restaurants:
- Station 8 vs. Old Mill Tasty House
- Angelo’s vs. The Monarch
- Busters Burger Joint vs. Kobe Steakhouse
- Ziggy’s Pizza vs. Georges French Bistro
HOW TO VOTE
So how will the voting take place? Polls will be conducted on Wichita By E.B.’s various social media sites: Twitter page, Facebook, our Instagram channel, and our newsletter. It’ll be spread out similar to how the NCAA Tournament handles their games on TruTV, TBS, TNT, and CBS.
“But hey Eddy, it doesn’t make sense to compare a BBQ restaurant to a sushi restaurant?”
Yes, I get that. Stop over analyzing the shit, vote, and have fun with it. The best way to vote is, “What restaurant would you go to if given the option at that moment?”
REMEMBER since we always have to place a disclaimer, this bracket doesn’t necessarily mean the winner is the best. It’s a small sample size of the general population, but it’s the favorite according to our readers. So if your favorite place doesn’t win, please cry to your parents….. not me. Like our past social media voting, this all comes down to social media support. In the end, I hope you can find some new places you may have never heard of or tried! And just like any previous bracket, I will not be voting in any bracket. This will be left strictly to the general audience.
I do have ONE REQUEST. When you vote, ask yourself if you’re voting for what you truly feel is the BEST or if you’re just voting to support said place based on other reasons. Obviously, there is no way to regulate it, but I just wanted to throw that out there. I’ll be the first to admit that this is a glorified popularity contest, but at least restaurants don’t have to pay money to be a part of it, advertise, or buy a trophy or image assets if they win.
Starting Thursday, you will find a poll featuring one restaurant matchup on one of our various social media pages to vote for your favorite.
