Congratulations to all the winners, these were some great entries! I had no idea what I was doing since this was my first entry. And to be honest, I didn't even vote for my own entry!
This was fun and made me think outside the box, as it looks like many others did. Can't wait to try another TD in the future. And to see some of the recipes so I can try to duplicate them!
Thanks to all the sponsors and judges for your consideration, generosity, and for your time.
Great job everybody!

I think that one noodle behind the egg did you in CO. Seriously this one could have gone either way.

Lol not entirely sure if that's a joke or not

I ended up re-plating this thing like 6 times over two days until I got a shot I was happy with. Drove down to a local boutique kitchen store for new bowls and even had some makeshift photo studio lighting.

Burned through pretty much the entire pork belly, and about a dozen eggs.

I even questioned that noodle...

What really sucks is when you replate a half dozen times, get the perfect shot and then realize you didn't tag it with the code word

I did that 4 different times for the ribs contest but didn't realize till after consumption was done......so did 4 different entries!

Totally meant to be humorous. That was a great entry.

Lol why do you think I had to re-plate it the first two times?

Then forgot the scallions. Then forgot the chili oil... I could clearly never be on a cooking competition show!

Congratulations to you for doing so well! Glad you didn't poke me with a chopstick to get me out of your way lol!
I did my plating Sunday afternoon, final day of the contest... took several different pics, one bowl, two bowls. We had friends out and played cornhole in the shop. During the picture taking I asked them and their 12 year old son and my wife which one they liked best... got 4 different answers! That didn't help a bit!
Oh, their son left with some of the soup and three bread bowls.

Well welcome back and congrats!

.....Oh and I just ran your prize across a few passes each of 220/400/600/800/Leather-green/Leather-white.... at exactly 17 degrees....

Oh and how do you sharpen an already mirror polished blade and handle without a mess of scratches...... Well this is how.....

 

[912smoker]

Can't wait to try another TD in the future. And to see some of the recipes so I can try to duplicate them!

They can be addictive and a lot of fun. And I always load up my bookmarks with recipes to steal...er....Duplicate...Yeah duplicate!

I could clearly never be on a cooking competition show!

Dude, your plating was spot on. I saw your entry and was like..."WOW!" I like to enter these just for the fun. And heck, you get a great meal out of it too!

civilsmoker that knife is gorgeous. Buckeyedude is gonna love it.
