SOUPer Bowl X to Name Best Local Soups in Port Washington

Who has the best soup in Port Washington?

Residents are invited to find out by taste testing the best soups in the area to decide who will be the 2017 SOUPer Bowl Champ on Saturday.

Sixteen local restaurants and markets have entered the competition. Their soups range from hearty chickpea soup to an exotic cajun seafood chowder.

The event will be held from noon to 3 p.m. at the Archangel Michael Greek Orthodox Church, located at 100 Fairway Drive.

To taste the plethora of soups, visitors will pay an admission fee (a $7 “touchdown” fee for adults and a $3 “field goal” fee for children under 12) to receive a hand stamp and a ballot. After trying all the soups, which come with bread and crackers, everyone can vote for their favorite. The soup with the most votes will receive the “People’s Choice Award.”

A select Judges’ Panel of celebrities and culinary experts will also decide which soup will receive the “Judges’ Choice Award.” The panel will include award winning sports anchor Len Berman, celebrity chef and newscaster Julian Phillips, chef and Culinary Consultant Christine Sanchez, gourmet Anne Arter from Commissioner Sponsor Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty, gourmet Joseph Canigiani from Commissioner Sponsor Joseph N. Canigiani, Inc. and Robbie Graham, a deaf-blind client from the Helen Keller National Center.

The event is organized by the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce.
