NEBS Holds Annual Meeting & Awards Ceremony AND 1st Ever Chopped-Style Competition ONLINE....
The NEBS 1st Ever Chopped-Style Competition was held during the online Zoom Annual Meeting. Teams were cooking away while the Board of Directors and membership discussed the meeting agenda. Teams were called upon during the meeting to show what they were doing and discuss their plans for the cook; keep- ing them on their toes!
The basket ingredients were Bone-In Chicken Thighs, Cheetos Puffs, Swedish Fish and 2 Red Macintosh Apples. The teams were given their basket items via email. They each showed the mem- bership and the judges their raw ingredients and their time was set! They had 45 minutes to prepare their entry.
The judges will judge on 3 criteria (1) creativity, (2) visual presen- tation and (3) drool factor. They were on their honor not to have altered any of the basket ingredients before starting and they could use their own pantry for their pantry items. They had 45 minutes to prepare their plates and then it is hands off and the judges reviewed them, asked questions, deliberated and declared the winner.
The teams were competing for a cash prize and trophy and all the bragging rights!!
The teams were:
Team #1 – The Inlaws and The Outlaws, Marisa and Robbie Scott and Momma.
Team #2 – The Grill Blazers, Michael Austin and family. Team #3 – USS BBQ, David Jones.
Team #4 – Is it 9:22 Yet? Kathy and Tom Trainor
Team #5 – The Lizzy Borden Choppers, Bill Wright and family The Judges were – Cliff Heidinger, Jean Stefanik, and Mike Mas- siglia
