The rules are simple: Voting ends this Wednesday, Oct. 25, and the top three contestants will move on to the final showdown. Let’s dig in.
High Park Bar & Grill | The wheels up barbecue sauce is a must-try — it’s a thick, tangy, and spicy family recipe.

Mojoe’s Burger Joint | Dip your Nashville hot dust and mango-habanero flats + drums into this downtown dive’s homemade and well-loved ranch dressing.
My Way Tavern | The raspberry chipotle wings are certainly something to write home about and have just the right mildly sweet flavor.
