Lets not to forget to give volunteers Chris gmc2003 and Robert tx smoker a big hand for their work behind the scenes to make these events possible. I might know what goes into planning and executing these events and it is a lot of work.

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!

3 actually. We ate ramen the entire weekend

Thank you for the kind words.

One of the best throw-downs we've witnessed to date. Congrats to the winners! Special thanks to Chris & Robert for your efforts. These TD's are not for the faint of heart and you both excel at it. Then there are the silent people i.e. the judges. You know who you are and I personally thank you for efforts

I wanted to be a fly on that pizza bowl. It was the one I most wanted to try.

Every entry looked great, and I know some of them would be absolutely be a hit, but I'd made most of them in some form or another. Never have I ever in all my moons seen a pizza soup.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I've made beef stew and chicken soup a thousand different ways, but pizza soup - this is me in the image!

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!

I completely forgot the sign originally on my entry, took lots of great pics without it. Then we ate, and as I was cleaning up it hit me. "OH SH*T!" I yelled. Completely forgot about it.

Luckily I had a couple of empty bread bowls left (although they weren't as nice looking as the one I originally took the pic of). Had enough soup left over to fill it and did my best to re-capture the pic WITH the hand written sign. Glad I didn't fire it off without the sign first!

I would have been so p*ssed if I didn't have any more bread bowls left at that moment!

Great minds think alike! Your entry looked great! I would have traded bowls with you in a heartbeat! Are you gonna post up yours? I'd sure like to see it.

Thank you! Yes, I'm going to try to post it today. That would have been a great trade; I love pizza as much as I love Q, and I'm totally inspired to try to replicate yours soon!!
