I picked up some gift cards at the local supermarket. As a judge, I've enjoyed being fed so well, so many times,

:bounce:I'm personally donating a $20 Von's gift card to every team! :bounce:

My thanks to all the teams that participate and provide all of us with great entertainment and delectable treats. :clap:

I can already feel the hungry MOB surging behind the judges backs as they struggle for position to scrounge those highly valued left over morsels.


:cheers:
 
oh yes..it will be epic.

might be a little wet though....anyone check out the forecast for friday night yet?

it's gunna be sweet!

Don't be scared, we've been through the worse wet weather possible and it was still a blast. The sand is great when it's wet. There is no MUD for you IH8MUDers. No blowing sand. The storms usually pass by quick on the coast unlike the mountains where they tend to hang around. 5 minutes after the rain the beach is PERFECT and the sky is blue.

(and only the most happiest campers show up when the forecast is poor)

So, what is the ingredient?? :D
 
We have 5 teams!
So the grand price will be $200, plus what Slee Offroad has donated. Plus most important: Bragging rights for a whole year.

Last year, one of the teams comes up with a “Menu”… so the judges knew what they were eating… so this year, the judges will expect a dang “Menu” from every single team… so, I was thinking the easy way to go with that tendency…

What about having a PDF format file, with the Sand Chef Logo, so each team could up-date their name, their dishes, push the print button and that it!!! the menus will be done in seconds for all the teams, judges will be happy with that and we can focus on getting the pans ready…

Who is the brain behind the logo?

The menu idea is doable?

For weeks people have been asking me the same question. And I've been giving them the same standard response: "I can't say".
But the time has come to reveal the fourth annual Sand Chef® secret ingredient. Are you ready?
 
Ohh, I almost forgot.....

This year's secret ingredient is: Eggs.
Any type. Any natural egg.

Have fun and we'll keep you posted

This year's Sand Chef was probably the best Sand Chef to date. Teams have raised the bar many times over since we first started this contest in four years ago.

Here's a table with the totals:

As you can see it was a very tough choice for the judges. Kathy's All Girl Team and Ross's BFC were only a point a part. Here's a graph that illustrates it better:

We're already thinking of ways to make it more fun next year. Plus there are many ideas for the secret ingredient floating around in my head.

As you can see by the results, the best liked dish overall was Ross' BFC Salmon Remoulade. Followed very close by Kathy's AGT Frittata. The Frittata was also the best presented. The best dessert was Kathy's Chocolate Sunday. While the most original was Ross's Quail Egg shooter.

My favorites were: Ross's Quail Egg Shooter, followed by Kathy's FJ40 Frittata, Roberto's Empanadas and Dave's Bacon and Cheese Quiche. My favorite dessert was the Oceano Dunes cake.

Having said that, my vote did/does not count.
