Woot
This gonna be hard lol so many entries

 

[JoynersHotPeppers]

Great job all, just made a few chicken sandwiches for lunch!

 

[hogleg]

Wth?!? I thought somebody made Mango Glazed Women? But I'm not seeing it in the choices???

 

[The Hot Pepper]

He made Bunuelos, not Bunuelas. That's mango glazed men, but have at it.

[dragonsfire]

Well that was difficult, had to measure how much I salivated.
 
Awesome we had lots of people participating, great work everyone

 

[hot stuff]

That's a lot of choices.

 

[Lucky Dog Hot Sauce]

This was hands down the most difficult vote. 
 
Ozzy was damn close - and I want to eat every single one, with the exception of the olives, which I'd pick out easily since they were whole. 
 
But Salsa Lady - damn. SL took this next level with color, preparation, variety, uniqueness, and overall presentation. THAT is how you absolutely nail a TD. Holy sheet that's an exceptional meal. Just absolutely inviting as hell, colorful and obviously brimming with flavor. 
 
Fiddy was my favorite out of the gate, and ended up 3rd in my voting.    Being 3rd here is like being 1st in 9,999,999 other competitions though - that's how f'n good everything looks. 
 
For desert I went with the Mango Glazed Bunuelos - almost voted for Rymerpt's, but he kinda talked me out of it when he said the dough was bland. So I went with the dough that didn't look bland. Protip: don't tell us it tastes bad even if it does.
 
Really nice job Ann - spectacular.

Ps - Thegreenchilemonster's was amazing as well. As were Joyner's & D3monic's. And everyone's - just fucking everyone's. 
 
Boss - can't you just give everyone crowns for this one?  

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Protip: don't tell us it tastes bad even if it does.

 
Yeah lol. Usually the lie is "I will definitely be making this again" but you never see it...
 

 

[JoynersHotPeppers]

This was a great TD for P D, glad I am growing his SB as well and look forward to passing along seeds!

All y'all definitely honored Dreadie, no doubt.

You inspired it.

I went with frydad, The chicken looked good and I was really digging those what ever root, fried fritter thingies. They looked tasty as hell. They texture inside and out looked perfect.
 
I can just imagine those would be heaven paired with some this dipping sauce

 
For desert I went with ryms. Looked pretty tasty and I didn't bother to read all the text so didn't notice him saying they was bland 
The buneulos where tasty as fck though don't get me wrong. 

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Sheesh vote peoplllllle!!!

 

[geeme]

Dessert was easy - I love flan. The meal? I wanted to vote for many more than just one! Everyone did an excellent job!

 

[frydad4]

D3 gets mine for the mango. 
Stick a mango in a shoe and I'll eat it. 
(...or do I like the taste of shoes...I'll never tell!)
 
I fucking hate LSU, but Hot Stuff hit a home run with the Cuban steak and beans and rice. 
When it's done right, it's a much more complicated dish than most people think.
And HotStuff nailed it!! Well done!!
 
And go Gators.

Ok ok bad wording.

Truth be told. I thought the savory dough with cumin and turmeric would be overpowering for dessert.

The doubles were soft a good on their own, but with the compote were AWESOME.


SALSA LADY had a meal that made me want to lick the computer screen.

I voted for my dessert because my research shows that DOUBLES ARE LOVED IN THE CARIBBEAN.

This was a fun one Boss!

Thanks for your votes

Also want to give a special shout out to ozzy for turning something that looks this awesome
 

 
into something even more awesome. That mojo sauce had a nice color to it as well.
