This was our first time to this great event. It was a lot of fun, and the organizers work hard to make it fun.
Cris and Chuck took time out of cooking to do a cooking demonstration. They demonstrated how to cook my perfect-on-the-grill steak with the blue cheese and brown butter. People loved it. We also took the time to do a little shopping. We bought a set of knives with our logo on it!
In the grilling contest the categories were wings, mystery meat, steak and dessert. The mystery meat was alligator, and Cris made Moroccan-flavored tacos. They were really tasty. Alligator is tricky because it is very lean. Cris slightly over cooked them, and they were a tad dry. The word on the street was that just about everyone turned in alligator that was dry. I made my brown-butter steak and for dessert Chuck made smores cheesecakes. We got three shout outs! The dessert came in 10th, and the steak and alligator came in 7th.
We're also sporting out new aprons made for us by Katrina of Post Oak Aprons!
We are improving, but slowly in the KCBS competitions. Our chicken came in 15th out of 49 which is solid.
