Welcome to the 2024 Sarah Baker Hansen Wings Bracket
A 64-restaurant tournament to crown the best wings in Omaha and Lincoln
The 2024 Sarah Baker Hansen food bracket is back and this year, we’re launching a battle for the best Buffalo wings. The showdown, which will include restaurants in both the Omaha and Lincoln metro areas, launches in tandem with March Madness.
On March 17, we revealed the first-round matchups in our wings bracket and open the voting. We’ve seeded restaurants from across the area, just like the NCAA basketball tournament bracket, and your vote will help choose who moves on. There will be blowout victories and shocking upsets, and then we’ll do it all over again for the next round. And you can vote in every round!
This contest ended at noon on Monday, April 8, 2024.
