Best of luck and even better eats to all!

Nice! Well played...well played!!!!!

Sounds good. What's a tofu and a chipotles in adobo? Can Crawdads count for shrimp? Farking special rules.

All kidding aside, I'm just Honored to be in on this one. We can work out the details later.

Thanks Ron L and Moose and all the Brethren.

Bwa ha ha ha ha! :twisted:

What a fantastic idea... :thumb:

We should do more throwdowns in this format! I love it!

Reminds me of BBQ Pitmasters.

Actually, "Chopped" served as the inspiration for this TD. Ron came up with the idea. I think... :thumb:

Great concept

Dang great idea Moose! :thumb:


Toast, I wonder what syrup you'll use :laugh:

I am looking forward to this for sure. It's quite an honor. Thanks to Ron and Moose for hooking it up. :thumb:


All of basket 3, huh. Who's bright idea was that one? At least it wasn't filled with seafood. :-D

Does Toast do two entries? Seems only fair.

Since this is based on Chopped, make sure to claim the Ice Cream maker first!!

- oh, and don't use raw red onions if this guy is judging

I can't think of a reason why a TD winner couldn't call something like this. Would make for some really interesting entries. :thumb:

Or does he get to pick the ingredients for the other contestants. :heh:
