Toronto bar celebrating 10 years by seeing who can eat most crab rangoon
A legendary Toronto bar is celebrating its 10th anniversary and wants to know: just how fast can you down 20 crab rangoons?
The Shameful Tiki Room, located at 777 Queen St. W., is set to host a time-based eating challenge, where the first contestant to finish a plate of 20 crab rangoons will win bragging rights and a prize.
The tiki bar is already well known for its crispy crab and cream cheese wontons that come perfectly paired with a spicy mustard dip. Participants must RSVP and pay $25 at the door, so even if you don't win (and if our math is right on this one), you still get a sweet deal on some delicious food.
The team at The Shameful Tiki Room confirmed to blogTO that they're still on the hunt for participants, and reservations are still open for those who just want to watch, but not partake in the contest. All 20 participants will be given 20 rangoons each, and the first to finish will receive a prize package from the bar.
The bar's massive milestone arrives just after a period of transition. Earlier this year, the beloved tiki bar had to relocate from its long-standing Parkdale location at 1378 Queen St. W. due to landlord-related issues.
Despite its move, The Shameful Tiki Room was able to bring its signature, electric atmosphere and exotic cocktail menu, from rum punches and Mai Tais to Pain Killers, Zombies, and volcano bowls, to its new home at 777 Queen St. W., which previously housed Iranian restaurant Banu for 20 years.
If you're confident in your crab-rangoon-eating skills, make sure to RSVP to the bar's 10th anniversary party, happening on Nov. 29.
