With the big game in national football last Sunday, Leelanau Enterprise staff celebrated a bigger event at the office on Feb. 7 with the return of the annual “Souper-Bowl” luncheon competition.
“The Souper Bowl is a fun, and tasty, way for all of us to come together, relax, talk and enjoy some great soups,” said Enterprise Publisher John Elchert. “On a Wednesday, which is production day, it offers a nice break from deadlines and the rush to get the paper out the door. At the end of the day we all have full stomachs, some new recipes, created great memories and a local charity gets a cash donation. What can be better than that? Life is good! And so was the soup!”
Eight employees brought in soups to sample and then voted for their favorite by depositing money in a container for each soup. For the first time, celebrity judges Sheriff Mike Borkovich, Eric Nittolo, owner of Nittolo’s Seafood and Pizza; and Ty Wessell, chair of the County Board of Commissioners, were invited to take part in the process.
