The title was based on the number of Taste tickets redeemed at each participating restaurant from Oct. 4-12.

Sea Dog earned the top spot with its crowd-favorite Chicken Bacon Hot Honey Ranch Sandwich, served with Cajun chips and a flight of four 5-ounce pours.

This year’s event generated more than 3,000 restaurant visits, the Chamber said.

“Taste of the Beaches has always been about more than great food. It’s about celebrating the resilience and spirit of our coastal communities,” said President and CEO of the Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber Charlie Justice.

The event also raised funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa Bay.
