RA NAMES FIRST ILLINOIS
MAKI MADNESS CHAMPION! |
| Last month RA hosted Maki Madness, a competitive eating contest where everyone from novice to professional eaters alike entered for the chance to win a year's worth of free sushi from RA – valued at $600! |
Just as the March Madness phenomenon swept the world of NCAA Basketball, Maki Madness drew supporters and wasabi warriors from around the Chicagoland area to face-off in this culinary consumption competition held from March 28 through April 9. The tournament took place in heats at all three RA Illinois locations with the final Sushi Showdown taking place on April 9 at RA Chicago.
Maki Madness eaters competed against their opponents and a lot of RA's signature Tootsy Maki. |
| The winner, 23 year-old Mark Fugger from Oak Brook, IL was crowned the Maki Madness Champion on April 9! |
Plus, a total of $225 was raised from participant entry fees, along with bar proceeds from Ketel One beverages from the championship event.
RA matched the bar proceeds and donated the final amount on behalf of Mark to his charity of choice, the local branch of the American Cancer Society. |
