I hope sharing this doesn't get me banned from the whole internet, but it fits too well......just no words....
Any way now on to some real important business, since the submission deadline is a little less than two weeks away, Feb 18th, here is some additional motivation......
A pic of a Certified Piedmontese whole boneless striploin, since it is included in the CPB prize and I happen to have one in the freezer.....
Oh and this is a couple pictures of the kitchen knife blade profile from the spine/edge perspectives. It's hard to get a good pic from either of these perspectives because there is very little to focus on.... but here was my college try....
The spin has a distal taper with polished round edges so no hard edges to cause fatigue on the hand while cutting.....
The edge is a uniform apple seed shape throughout about 80% of the length then a slight compound distal taper thought the last 20% to the tip.....
PS, It is still awaiting the final edge on it so you can see that in the glare of the pic. The final edge is put on after the final hand polish and just before it is shipped.

I have two of them in the freezer. Can't wait to take one out. The knife looks amazing by the way.

THAT is a beautiful knife, or I should say work of art...
Thanks, its intended art form..... is to markup someone's cutting board over a single picture of soup, chili, or stew...... :-)

I have watched and enjoyed these throwdowns and voted in most. It is always interesting to see what people come up with and how they present it. One thing i've noticed is that to win, the dish has to look over the top appetizing and that takes some creativity that I do not have. There are others that have it in great abundance and I am always impressed with their artistry
Oh, I also want to give a shout out to one of the TDs other prize sponsors.
tx smoker
has also been a very generous TD sponsor along with the others. Here is one of his sponsored prizes in action.....Steak and Eggs breakfast.....

Appealing to the eye is a plus, but I've also seen a few folks win whose entries weren't all that appealing in presentation. One never knows what's going to tickle the fancy of a judge or forum member.
Chris
SA, what Chris said.... and with the recent new category of "judge's choice" there are more ways to win. ie the forum poll, the group of judges, and then the judge choice. My advise is to keep the code words on a paper in the kitchen and then just take a simple picture of the "cook" of the day.... even paper plated items have won before.

Hey it turns out there are some stupid questions.Of course it needs to be made within the competition time frame window. If not, the code word will not be included and the entry won't be valid
That's what I get for posting after a night shift.
Does anyone have a recipe for possum stew? One of my puppers seemed to bring me the main ingredient up to the house last night.

Nope but does it taste like chicken?Does anyone have a recipe for possum stew? One of my puppers seemed to bring me the main ingredient up to the house last night.
Ryan
