Chef's Choice 'Wow' factor

I've never judged a sanctioned contest or an ancillary category, so take this with a grain of salt.

Our team has done many Chef's Choice/Anything Butt on top of competing in the 4 meat competition. The one thing that seems to stand out, besides cooking an awesome dish, is presentation. Presentation has a different overall appeal in the the ancillary categories that we have cooked. If you can WOW the judges right off the bat on presentation, you're half-way there.....IMO.

The judges might share the exact dishes, but you might find it hard for the cooks to do the same.

Dont worry wbout it Eric. I've got this one in the bag!

Desserts will always get a judge excited...

Moinks or tri-tip.

Cheesecake always wins. Mike from lakeside has been tearing it up with claMs casino lately:wink:
