I've got news...

Earlier this month at the American Royal World Series of Barbecue Open, we
won the potato category. Again! We not only repeated as winners, we repeated
our perfect score from 2011. Plus I got 8th in sausage out of about 350
entries.

Thing is, Reser's was sponsoring a series of potato challenges at KCBS
competitions throughout the year, plus they had an online recipe challenge.
The winners of those competitions got invited to the World Food
Championships! http://worldfoodchampionships.com/home

Originally we were to cook in a special side contest created by Reser's with
20 contestant winners competing for a $10k first prize. Then they expanded
our invitation to also include an invite to the World Side Dish
Championships with a $25k total prize purse, one of the featured comps at
the WFC. We're competing twice for the big money!

So we're off to Vegas later this week to compete in both. Hopefully I'll be
posting some good news next week!

Congratulations. Good luck in Vegas. Resers needs a better potato salad
recipe, IMO. Maybe you can help them out...

Fantastic!!! The very best of luck in Vegas.

They do have a lot of recipes, some of which are regional. I like one quite
a bit :-)

Heh... Yeah, sorry dude, I got it and I'm still going to answer it. ;-) I
wanted to give some more thought to your response. And we had to get some
stuff cleared up with the competition people. This is the inaugural year for
it and they are still making up their minds about some stuff. However as
they have made up their minds several things have fortunately gotten easier
for us.

But yeah, the potato dish goes up for the Reser's comp on Friday . It goes
up for the first round of the World Side Dish Championship on Saturday as
well. If we make it to the second round, then we have to enter a dish which
uses Philadelphia Cream Cheese.

If we go so far as to win the Side Dish Championship, we would go to a final
table on Sunday where the winners of all the major categories compete for
the Grand Championship.

Well, that is a point. Somebody with some killer burnt ends will probably
take the grand prize. I just hope it's my buds who are cooking in the Q
comp, Nickle Boys.

However if you look at the various competitions, it includes a pro chef
competition, the World Chef Challenge, and those guys are going to go all
iron chef on each other. So it's going to take some stepping to beat the
winner of that one.

On the other hand, burnt ends are magic.

Funny that one competitor wanted to know if they could turn in Reser's
potato salad from the grocery store, with some bacon mixed in.

Not.
