🎩🍴 THE GREAT TASTE DEBATE HAS OFFICIALLY ADJOURNED! 🍴🎩

The votes have been counted, the ballots have been reviewed, and Ottawa has spoken!

And apparently Misfits came prepared to make their case. 😂

🏆🏆🏆🏆 MISFITS SWEPT THE GREAT TASTE DEBATE — TAKING HOME ALL FOUR AWARDS!

🥇 Great Taste Debate Champion — Misfits
🎩 Lincoln Legacy Award — Misfits
🔥 Little Giant Award — Misfits
❤️ People's Choice — Misfits

CONGRATULATIONS, MISFITS! What a sweep!

But with SO many incredible Lincoln and Douglas creations throughout Ottawa, there were several dishes and drinks that earned some serious love from our voters and absolutely deserve an HONORABLE MENTION:

🍹 Harbor House — Mojito Flight
🍔🍸 Berta's Tap — Mushroom Swiss Burger & Pistachio Martini
🥪🍹 Keagan's Irish Pub — Reuben & Drunken Leprechaun
☕🥧 McDonald's — Apple Pie Latte
🥕🍰 Ottawa Bakery — Carrot Cake
🍋‍🟩🍒 Downtown Nutrition — Team Douglas Lime & Cherry Limeade
🍓🍵 Jeremiah Joe Coffee — Matcha Strawberry Latte

👏 And an enormous THANK YOU to every business that participated in our first Great Taste Debate. You took this crazy little idea and made it something incredibly fun, creative and uniquely Ottawa.

And to everyone who ate, drank, debated, went back for seconds and cast a vote with your taste buds — THANK YOU!

You supported our local businesses while helping us celebrate Ottawa's history in a completely new way.

Lincoln and Douglas debated with words in 1858.

Ottawa debated with forks in 2026. 😂🍴

Congratulations again to Misfits on the GRAND SLAM, to all of our honorable mentions, and to every business that helped make the first Great Taste Debate one for the history books!
