Thanx Jay. I think I would have done better if I was drunk and got real sloppy with the cheese. My presentation is just too clean. I couldn't capture the grainy TexMex dive vibe of the pic.:(

So how did Mrs. Blues rate it? I know you were waiting to see what she said.

When I first told her before making it, she rolled her eyes. I made some bean and cheese chimmi's friday night and when I told her about those she gave the WTF? look. So before I started last nights T-down cooking she had me do up a couple bean and cheese chimmi's for her. mrs. blues approved. She liked the last batch of tamales so much she's having me crock pot up another shoulder today.

Plating in a white styrofoam take out box with meal drenched in red sauce, double the cheese, and a stack of off-white old paper napkins would have brought that authentic dive vibe, AND would have slayed the competition, IMO. ;)

Brilliant! Frickin' brilliant!
 
It's funny you mention that Sum, I thought your plate was too foo foo and you couldn't see the food as good. It looks slammin' though!

Yeah, those are some hand-me-downs from the grandma. It does get a bit busy on the edges. Now that throwdowns are occurring in my kitchen I'll have to make sure the plates are up to snuff.
 
Damn it looks like everyone brought their A game..I would order anyone of these plates in a heart beat..

But,in the end there can only be 1...
I have to go with JT...

Prime Rib holds a special place in my heart...and the Gorgonzola mash is on target..

It looked better than some people selling plates for 30 bucks
 
It would be impossible to pick if all these were right in front of me and I could smell and see them in person. As is is, I'd have to give the nod to Sum cause his stuff looks good AND he made it as he watched the Canes destroy UVa.
 
I'm surprised Sum's only has one vote!
 
Potawie you started my mouth to watering, but then I got to stuffed chicken and greens and completely rolled over. Sum won me over! The pork chops looked way good, too.

I spent enough childhood far enough south to "get" collards, and if'n I was still in Mississippi, I would have it served up with catfish and cornbread.

They all looked good, ya'll, except gorgonzola on anything is too foofoo for me!
