From the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association:
Exciting news today as the Alabama’s Best Steak competition has been narrowed to the “Sizzling 16”. The four restaurants receiving the most votes in the four regions were announced by the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association and Beef Checkoff program.
Since July 1st, steak lovers have been participating in the nomination process by visiting www.alabamasbeststeak.com to vote for their favorite ribeye steak restaurant in the state. This portion of the contest generated 8,933 votes and 118 nominated restaurants. The competition is sure to heat up as the voting starts over and within two weeks the number of restaurants will be narrowed to the “Enticing 8” and then to the “Fiery 4”.
It is important for customers to keep voting for their favorite to help them advance to the next level of competition. Once the “Fiery 4” restaurants have been determined by consumers, a team of undisclosed judges will visit each top restaurant and try their ribeye steak. Judges will score each restaurant and their results will ultimately determine the winner of the Alabama’s Best Steak contest!
The winning restaurant will be announced at a media event to kick off the 50th Anniversary of October Beef Month in Alabama.
