Cook-Off - 3 Teams Battle for Top Chefs

January 27, 2016

This year the experienced boys wanted to make some adjustment to the rules.  Got stuck with too much cleanup, and the points for lowing costs did not work out. We did a practice run to work out the Bacon infused crust idea. It actually worked out better on the practice run than at the actual event. Dough was too thick the 2nd time around, but it still was worthy of eating with all that bacon.

New and Improved Cook off Rules

Rules:

Keep to a grocery budget of $20.
Develop the menu & grocery list with input from your team.
To reduce your costs, bring from home any small items (sugar, flour, spices, etc)
Pick up all needed items prior to Wed 7:00 pm activity time. (Use parent or leader)
Meal preparation will be from 7:15 – 8:00, Taste Testing and cleanup till 8:30.
Bring any need utensils needed to prepare the meal. (Put name on them)
Bring items to assist in cleanup, ie: towels, scouring pads…
All hands stay on deck to clean up our mess. No dumping on leaders!
