The Master of Chicken

By Leslie Foley

Culinaria hosted its annual Master of Chicken competition at The Alley on Bitters to recognize tasty chicken sandwiches. Fried, grilled, smoked, or baked, the chicken was complemented with special sauces, surprising spices, and garnishes placed on different breads for guests to enjoy while the Masters golf tournament played in the background. Attendees were each given two green golf tees to drop in a bowl at their favorite restaurant. That’s right—the winner was selected by popular vote! 

Local chefs brought their best version of a chicken sandwich and competed for the title: The Master of Chicken. Guests placed their votes for their favorite, and the winner, Meadow Neighborhood Eatery + Bar Chef/Owner PJ Edwards, was awarded the winning title and received recognition for his creative chicken sandwich recipe.
