Please post it or put up a link. We'll be out but Ma can't cook it. She is hooking up with her friend in the afternoon as they both have to fly out early Monday morning.

Plus....she wanted Doc to have a chance at a trophy....:elmo:
 
First call for margaritas will be at 12:45 and samples have to be in at 1:00. There will be a call for the tater salad at 1:45 and the samples have to be in at 2:00 and there will be a call for the chili at 2:45 and samples have to be in at 3:00. All samples have to be in on time.
 
OK, so I'm kinda thinking about trying to enter this thing to support you. I think I make a great batch of chili and the wife makes some awesome tater salad, but I (we've) never done a cookoff. So, I've got a few questions for the experienced ones:

1) How does it work?
2) Does everything have to be cooked on site?
3) What is provided, if anything, and what are you allowed to bring?

I may have more, but that's a start.

I sent a PM call me ASAP.
 
Gary, glad you guys could fit us in. I forgot to ask your mom, but how much potatoe salad should we plan on making? I saw the 3 gallons of chili, but didn't see the specs on the tater sald. Also, am I allowed to bring some sort of canopy? So far, I know I can bring a table (I'm thinking one that's about 8 feet long, is that too big or should I go for something in the 4-6' range?), chairs, pots, utensils, propane & burners, and ingredients, etc. Is there something I'm missing, I've never done this before and I don't want to come unprepared and be missing something major. Any feedback from a cookoff pro would be helpful also.
 
You can bring a canopy and if I think a 6 foot table would be better. The spots ar 10x10. A minumum of 5 pounds for the potato salad. There should be a lot of people tasting. Check what you need for your chili and make sure you have all your ingredients. You have to bring your own pots and utensils and all your own ingredients.

Great, I've got it all covered then. We'll probably make atleast 10 lbs of tater salad, the stuff goes fast. I'm looking forward to it, can't wait to meet all of you guys/gals.
 
I am so glad you are coming. I just found out the Rockets donated a signed ball and we have a signed jersey from Earl Campbell. A few tv stations are coming at noon.

Wow, that's awesome man. It sounds like it's going to be a great turn out and the weather is supposed to be fantastic. Weather.com says 0% chance of rain with the highs around 63 or so. Should be perfect.
 
No, she never yells but she is yelling now. All day she is on me but she doesn't know how to change the avatar so there is nothing she can do. She said if I do not change it she is taking away the computer.

Just tell her it's a typical, red blooded, teenage male thing. I'd be more worried if you didn't have it....lol.

Just let her read my post, I'll take full responsibility for my words. But if it has to wait, I'll let her know to cut you some slack on Sunday, lol. I remember being 16, trust me, that photo is nothing compared to the stuff that goes on in a 16 year old kid's head. :smiliedance:

Heading to HEB after work to get the chili supplies. I'm thinking of tweaking my recipe for the cookoff, so I'll probably make a small batch this evening to see if I can kick it up a notch. Although, it is hard to improve on perfection.

Gary, just so you know, I told my wife about you last night and she can't wait to meet you. We'd like to help you out if you have any other fundraising events or any other way you need. Let us know.
 
Gary,

Good luck with your cook out tomorrow! I wish that I was in Houston to attend! See you at the draft party...
