contest Vote! Oktoberfest Throwdown 2010

[pileiton]

Now where are you hiding Pi????

If I take pics of something I picked up from Der Wienerschniztel and douse it with beer does that count?

Everything is making me hungry. This will be a tough vote.

 

[geeme]

Wow I am still full, but would love to munch on all of these!

Geeme, how did you like the EKU?

Thought it was excellent! I had narrowed my list down to an Ayinger and a Weihenstephaner, but when I went to get sufficient quantity for the TD, they were out of both. So although I initially picked up some alternates, went back and picked up the EKU and Warsteiner (my son's fav), and the EKU ended up being my fav - better than the two I had first picked out.

Thanks for the recommendation!

WOW LB, those carnitas look great!!!!!

That dish belongs in a restaurant, but I would use a different bowl for your pico. It looks like an athletic "cup".

On second thought, it's perfect. I might serve my next drunken chef in a "cup" (it would be an enormous serving, enough to feed several people).

Great job, congrats on the entry!

Way to go with those custom Wurst SL and the crab puffs look fantaboulous G

Manly Batter and German Venus sound like a THP love connection

LB, that TexMex/Deutsch really looked tasty.

Gonna be a tough vote

LOL...thanks, ya'll.

I have to say...the beer-battered corny-brat is going to take my vote.

Cooking like a madman right now! I got home at five and started up my food. Got some delicious stuff and it should be ready in five here. The posting is what is going to kill me, Wish me luck!

 

[salsalady]

as always, awesome entries by all!

and thank you for the comments.

logchief, I looked at the schnitzel also, but opted for the sauerbraten, partly because there was a roast in the freezer that worked perfectly! Nice job by both you and TB on the schnitzels!


another great TD almost over.......ticktockticktock~~~~


any last minute posters?


edit- missed Matt's post...Go Matt!!!

Thanks...although I got in a little touble with this one. Mywife's first pregnancy had an interesting side effect where she was basically immune to spice...she could cook something that would literally put me in tears, and she would laugh with her mouth full. This pregnancy...very different. She glared at me as she power-chugged milk. I didn't think it was that hot...I almost fed it to my 2 year old.

Pregnancies are strange things. I absolutely craved spicy foods for both of mine, ate Mexican or Tex-Mex every day, and both of the kids looooved hot stuff when they were little!

Done and posting as we speak. The food is going to wait sadly... . Thankfully the beer is cold!

matt has been fully assimilated into the Chile Pepper Continuum.....


"...forget the food! MUST POST!!!"






I had to listen to that yesterday...."I'm Starving! Can we eat yet?" hubby says...."just sit down and hush up...you ain't getting food until Mom's done with pictures".

Yeah... I get the feeling that's how it goes for many of us. I've found it's better to make sure the pics work out before chowing down. Like the first pics I took tonight - forgot the freakin' beer! That's no good! Be sure to put the cash in your pic, too!
