NEBS rule question

I'm doing a contest where one of the categories is

Vegetable:​

Any vegetable of your choice is eligible for entry, but 6 separate and identifiable pieces
must be submitted to the judges.
Teams have the option to use stuffing. See stuffing definitions below.
GARNISH - Only green leaf lettuce, Italian or flat leaf parsley and/or curly parsley. Inedible objects
are NOT allowed in the entry box.
Entry may not be wrapped with another item, (i.e. meat or pastry dough).​

Sauces, if used, shall be on the entry. No sauce containers are allowed. Chunky sauce is allowed.

Is a grilled vegi sandwich allowed? how about a vegi pizza?

Just my opinion but I would say no to both. I think the point of the rules are to make the vegetable the star of the dish. Bread in either case would be an illegal garnish unless it was part of a stuffing. Again just my opinion but I have cooked many NEBS grilling events.

Just a couple :wink:

"Entry may not be wrapped with another item, (i.e. meat or pastry dough)."

Sounds like no on both to me too. The above would rule out a sandwich for sure, and pizza would seem to not be in the spirit of the category. Pizza is a common NEBS grilling category, so they would have said pizza if they wanted pizza. If you cook a mean pizza, just wait. There is always a NEBS event with a pizza category.

Your best bet would be to ask Rob Fernandez, the organizer of GOTB. His email is brooklynq@gmail.com.
