Cook Off Questions
Posted: Thu Aug 21, 2014 10:01 am
Me and a Buddy are thinking about Joing in a cookoff next month. Never entered one. Only helped with 2 and it was not on the 1st day.
That means " I have no clue what I am getting myself into".
Neon Moon cook-off Sept 12 &13 LaPorte Tx
$165.00 entry fee
$25.00 per item fee : Brisket, Ribs, Fajitas
$10.00 optional catagory item fee : Spirits, Deserts
$20.00 clean up fee
Spaces 20' x 20' additional space $25.00
All of the rules seem to be simple anf pretty self explanitory except Two:
1.
Mystory Box : All chefs will be given a mystery box containing mystery ingredients and be required to create
1-3 dishes using all ingerdients.
2.
Chefs coice : Cooks any thing but desert and this is the only container that can be garnished. Presentation is 1/2 of the score. (I can only assume this is an open catagory but it is not in the top portion of the rules)
So, my questions are:
What can I expect to see in a "Mystery Box"?
What is your interpitation of Chefs Choice? (this will determine if I use a third cook) Have another Buddy that makes
a Venison stew that melts in your mouth and leaves you wanting thirds and more.
