damn those look awesome!
I have 2 ab's in the freezer from May, any tips of thawing them out?
I heard theyr'e easier to hammer this way, is that right?

I just let them thaw in the refrigerator. Are they in the shell or not (takes longer to thaw in the shell).

Never had a problem with the whole funky taste thing.

We used to freeze the cleaned meat. Always was VERY tough when thawed.

Then we went to freezing the cleaned meat in milk. Don't ask me where that came from but had little to no affect.

We then started freezing in the shell while the animal is still alive.

Works best by far and no funky taste.

Some say the meat ends up less tough because the animal just goes to sleep / freezes instead of being yanked out of the shell and all tensed up when it dies.

Who knows.

Everyone has their own secrets.

Behold our culinary skill. We are bringing in a "ringer" for this years competition. Here is one of his masterpieces:

The bologna-beef jerky-flaming hot cheetos-mayo-chorizo and egg burrito Sandwich.

OK, if it weren't for Doug's well-known culinary feats, I'd retract my offer to judge right here and now...

I am interested if a teams needs another member. I would start my own team but don't have all the equipment to cook outdoors. Anyone want to start a team that has a grill & stove?

Actually, we won't be serving garbage like the burrito sandwich. I have a friend who puts everything between bread, no matter what it is.

GREAT JOB Master Chef Alvaro!!!

Thanks for putting this together again. It is always a great time.

Kudos and best luck to the teams. The effort everyone puts into this competition is amazing. As if cooking wasn't enough of a challenge, do it from scratch, on the beach, has to be the ultimate challenge.

Who would have thought... a cooking competition without a kitchen!

Good Luck !!!

Yep, thanks Alvaro. Last year we didn't score so hot, but our $20 sign up fee got me a $30 apron, go figure. It is definitely an interesting competition. Get home from work, pack up the cruiser and the gear, decide what is being cooked, go shopping, sleep a little, and drive 6 hours to Pismo the next morning.

Combine that with the sand, extreme wind, and camping stoves, and I think us cruiserheads can give the real iron chef a run for his money.

Anyone bringing a generator that I can steal some electricity to run lights or since we're all in one spot are lights provided? Trying to get my packing list together this week and since it's been about 20 years since I camped on the beach I'm bound to overpack.

I'll have a generator on hand with an extension cord and breakout outlets - bring lights...

I know Doug usually sports his Honda on the beach too

Not that it helps, but can we guess as to what the secret ingredient is? I have a hunch that it figures in to many of the 07 Norcal runs this past year. If it is what I think it is, I'm not sure how to use that in a desert...

Thoughts?
