Windsor's Matty Helland Wins Devour Bartending Competition
It was mixologist mayhem this Wednesday night at The Vig Uptown, where, among a packed house of more than 150 spectators, 11 bartenders went head to head for prizes and bragging rights at the 3rd Annual Devoured Cocktail Competition.
Matty Helland of Windsor, restaurateurs Craig DeMarco and Lauren Bailey's cool home of American cuisine and killer cocktails, took the crown with a creation called No. 9 -- which Windsor plans to offer this weekend in celebration of the big win and to round out this weekend's Devoured experience.
