Thanks again to chefs and tasters for a wonderful and unique celebration of Jewish culture.

Out of a very crowded field of (mostly noodle-based) competitors, the best kugls rose to the top. An abundance of Creative entries led the judges to add two extra awards in that category. A surprisingly poor showing of Savory kugls led the judges to disregard 2nd and 3rd place in that category. And in an extraordinary turn of events, a passover matzo kugl ruled the day, crushing the hopes of all lokshn kugls everywhere.

And the winners are...

A beautiful (and winning) kugl entry. People's Choice
