As Toronto gears up for the grand parade of Caribbean Carnival this weekend, one patty reigns supreme: Randy's Patties, the Little Jamaica institution that's been a cornerstone of the city's Caribbean food culture for decades, has officially been crowned the winner of the Star's inaugural Patty Week.

The final vote saw both bakeries trade leads throughout the day, but by the end, Randy's pulled ahead for the win.
