What Should Be The Next Grinds Challenge?
 
Best Spam Musubi Kid's Pick - Final Results and Rankings Print E-mail
The Spam Musubi Marathon Kid's Pick took place on April 18, 2009. Four spam musubis from some popular local places went throw blows in a WOW Grinds Blind Taste Test. Judging this challenge were six local elementary school kids who have lived off of a diet of spam musubi, chico sticks and grape drink for most of their young lives. Although the judges claimed that their Mom's and Grandma's spam musubi are the best, they settled on a winner. All of the spam musubi competitors were onolicious and worthy of the crown, but there could be only one winnah. Thanks to all the kids who took the time to judge and their parents for letting them participate. Click "read more" to see the results.
