Alabama’s Best Steak Contest Heats Up with Record Votes

In a quest to find the best ribeye steak in the state, the Alabama’s Best Steak contest has registered over 3500 votes for 106 different steak restaurants in just the first two weeks. This is the fastest start that the contest has ever seen. Restaurants that have been nominated are busy promoting the tournament and consumers are voting as each vote helps that restaurant move one step closer to making the first cut, which is a bracket challenge that will begin on August 4th featuring the “Sizzling 16” restaurants.

In its 3rd year, the competition features a voting website, www.alabamasbeststeak.com, and requires the nominated restaurant to serve a ribeye steak. Once the nomination process is completed on August 2nd, votes will be tallied and the “Sizzling 16” restaurants will be announced, which begins the bracket challenge. Each week the field will be narrowed as voters continue to push their favorite restaurant through each prhase of the contest. The bracket challenge will end on August 17th when the “Fiery 4” restaurants have been identified by the voters.

A panel of judges will visit each of the “Fiery 4” restaurants to score a ribeye steak on tenderness, juiciness and overall flavor. Restaurants will not know who the judges are or when they are coming to try a steak. The finale of the contest will be a media event at the winning restaurant which will also kickoff the 50th Anniversary of October Beef Month in Alabama!
