Myrtle Beach Food Competition January 31st, 2008

Wow, what a great couple o' days I just endured! Just got home from this years food competition at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center in conjunction with the Hotel, Motel and Restaurant Supply Show of the Southeast. What a great time! There were gobs of vendors and stuff showing off their crap and, the best part, FOOD! I was one of the competitors this morning and was able to grab some pictures while I was there.

The competition was an F3, mystery basket. We didn't know what our protein was going to be until our 1:45 countdown started. This was what I made, my protein was Chicken, obviously. Won silver at 35/ 36 points, one point away from gold!!! Better luck next time :)

Menu:
Pan-Seared Chicken Breast of Chicken w/ Citrus Saffron Cream

Trilogy of Roasted Root Vegetables w/ Thyme and Rosemary

Autumn Spiced Double Smashed Potatoes


Another chefs skirt steak.

Look at all the trophies! :)
