I went with JayT on this one. My wife is Vietnamese, and Bahn mi with pho is like a comfort food to me...aside from New Mexican, of course. I also really love pork belly. Great job everyone on their amazing dishes, it was a tough choice!

 

[JayT]

I went with D3, that soup was probably my favorite thing in this whole contest.  I have seen and (loved from a far) his cheesesteaks, but that soup speaks to me.  Honorable mention to GM's Pepperpot, SL' onion soup, JayT's Pho and Bahn Mi, I love pork belly, but learn to take some pics bro!  JHP's perfectly fried fish, and GIP's Hatch green chile soup.  I have the chile Gustapo looking into whether they are authenic Hatch or imposters not from NM!

I went with Hot Stuff's Pozole and Drunken Torta because why the hell not. Woke up that morning to vote and saw that drunkin Torta and said to myself "neat". Who here has not had Pozole just wandering? I bet menudo haters might like Pozole.

I won a throwdown a few years ago with that exact combination.  It was awesome as I am sure his was.  Here's a peek at mine if you are interested.  http://thehotpepper.com/topic/39036-begin-combo-de-mayo-throwdown/page-7?&#entry821051

I went with JayT. That marrow pho and sticky pork bahn mi looked amazing.

Wanted to give props to sobelri too who showed great techniques in his pho and bahn mi combo.

All awesome entries though.

I just had to Like a post from 2013.

I went with GIP. But Jay was a very close second.
 
Great entries!! all of them!

That was definitely one of my best showings.

This!   "3 star anise, 2 sticks cinnamon, and  3 Tbs whole cloves black pepper" is why Jay didn't get my vote. Is this common in Pho? Reading this caused me to have a flashback of that Malaysian Curry. Maybe, I'm just not ready for this type of food.

A great job done by all, some fantastic food you all should be proud of. I had planned to enter, but time got the better of me.
 
JHP, you lost my vote after this:
 

Can we please have a bonus poll? The kitchen that one would never eat out of due to deplorable condition

I thought you were better than that, there's no need for such comments, and others you have been posting.
 
SR.

Of course, that means it's not about whether one entry is better than another or not ...
 
And that's why TD's aren't going to be a reliably good experience for me ...
 
That said, I'm not interested in ruining other people's good time ... so I'm going to go back to not entering them.

GIP's soup alone is a winner.

Who is gio?

Who is gio?

Think he meant GIP's
or he is naming his pickles again
