As some of you already know, our very good friend David (

) won 1st place in the Judge's Voting for the Labor Day Throwdown. That prize was a really nice meat package from Joe at CPB. Unfortunately the meat cannot be shipped to Canada though. It would sit at Customs for so long all of the meat would spoil. David and I discussed at length how we were going to utilize this prize package. He tossed out a few ideas as did I and we finally decided that the package would ship to me and I would prep, cook, and serve it at the next dinner that Tracy's church hosts for those less fortunate. What a huge gesture on David's part!! Well, as the story unfolded, I mentioned this to Joe (
CertifiedPiedmontese
) as to why the package was shipping to me. I'd already discussed with Joe the logistics of trying to get it to Canada and there just wasn't any realistic way to do it so he was prepared for an alternative plan. The meat will ship to me this coming Monday and Joe is adding a bunch of other stuff to the package so there will be a much larger bounty to share with those in need. Another great gesture!! Ladies and gentlemen, this is such an amazing thing for people to do...helping a bunch of folks they have never met but are in need. From my humble perspective, the gestures on the part of David and Joe are exemplary and the personification of everything good that this forum stands for. Hats off and three cheers to two phenomenal people with huge hearts!! Thank you guys....from the bottom of my heart.
