1st Place: Alyssa Hamel – bartender extraordinaire at Broadway’s Shot Spot, bringing the heat and taking the crown!

2nd Place: Licia Montoya – Assistant Manager at High Plains Cafe, serving up a seriously strong contender.

3rd Place: T – proudly representing CCB alumni and earning a well-deserved spot on the podium.



People’s Choice (Popular Vote): Sol Betancur – representing Englewood and winning hearts (and taste buds) to claim her place at the top!



Congratulations to all of our amazing competitors, and thank you again to everyone who cooked, tasted, voted, played, donated, and helped make this year’s event such a fun and flavorful success. We can’t wait to turn up the heat even more next year!



Best,

Andrea Fowler
