The 2020 Keep Busy During COVID-19 French Fry Tournament
During Covid we thought we'd have some fun with French Fries.
Is there any better reason to have an impromptu twitter tournament then a global pandemic? I think not.
To recap our tournament ways, we’ve done wings twice, pizza, breweries, beef on weck, chicken finger subs, tacos and breakfast sandwiches. We’ve toyed with other ideas, a brunch tournament is coming when… we can all go to brunch, but thought French Fry might be a fun way to promote some restaurants offering takeout and just to burn down twitter for a couple days.
After taking over 300 (!) suggestions from our twitter followers, here’s the bracket that the Buffalo Eats team came up with. It will be a field of 32 excellent restaurants. We hope you enjoy thinking about something not depressing for a couple minutes.
The polls will run from noon (ish) to 9pm (ish) every day on twitter. Follow us over there to join in on the fun.
