Fourth Annual Wings Over the Bay!

The Town of Cutler Bay celebrated its Fourth Annual Wings Over the Bay Chicken Wing Cook-Off on Saturday, April 6, 2019 at Cutler Ridge Park. This event has truly grown since inception ranging from a few hundred attendees during the first event to now over 2,000 people in attendance.

This year saw ten teams compete, which were made up of Cutler Bay residents, restaurants and local organizations. The chance to be named as the best chicken wing cook was up for grabs in the following three categories: Buffalo, Garlic Parmesan and Special Grilled. While the contest judges were privately sampling and judging the contestants’ wings, event goers were invited to sample the wings and vote for their favorite team. In attendance were Mayor Tim Meerbott, Vice Mayor Sue Ellen Loyzelle, Council Member Michael Callahan, and Council Member Roger Coriat, who sampled wings and mingled with attendees.

In addition to the complimentary tasting of chicken wings, entertainment was provided for all ages including a kid zone equipped with bounce houses and face painting, live music by Ricky Valido and a chicken wing eating contest.

The competition winners were announced and awarded by Mayor Meerbott, who was joined on stage by the Town Council Members present. The winners for each category were as follows:
