SHOW OFF YOUR YUM! Food Photography Thread

[mlm Mike]

In the contest forum but linked to and from this thread. I have to get permission I am sure. By putting it in the contest forum, we would obviously have a lot more member's dishes/entries.
Plus participants will have 20-30 days to make and present the dish.
The best part about it is even if it is not the best tasting dish you ever created, the presentation would be judged. And judged by visitors to the contest thread.. thus 100% participation by everyone who views/visits/enters unless one chooses not to click a LIKE.
After upon presenting my announcement last night and while eating dinner last night, I was talking to hubby about selling the idea to the BYC Staff. This is a Chicken site. So why a cooking contest on a chicken site.
The Administration moved this thread yesterday to a different category.. it is now under "EGG, CHICKEN & OTHER FAVORITE RECIPES". I had it in a different Category when it started. So DH suggested.. "Whatever the specific dish in the contest is going to be, just have everyone entering have something chicken related in the entry photos".
Brilliant! I LIKE-EE..
It could be chicken place mats, chicken table cloth, napkin holder or just a small ceramic chicken. Anything chicken related!
I already have the 3 prizes. And they are all Chicken Related. BRAND NEW OF COURSE.. hehe.

I am open for ideas or suggestions. Dishes, or a theme. Or any input for that matter. Tell me thumbs up or thumbs down.
I will do all the foot work. No worries.
Does anybody think this will work or fail?

As far as I know, the contest forum is only for BYC and advertiser sponsored contests. All the hatch along contest are done in the hatch-a-long forum. Even the Easter hatch a long.

Yum a licious Mike! We have one of those Baby Berma Mixers. Very handy. They make those in giant size for professional batch cooking for the hospitality industry. They do the trick. Very easy to clean. We make our sauces with our small version.
This is Mike cooking right? You have some culinary experience I see. Your dishes are high end menu worthy and your presentation skills are excellent. Your particular choices of combined ingredients/recipes says a lot.
Bravo! Thank you for wowing us once again..

Home made tom sauce thawed

Fill all of the tom/rice/beef/sauce on to the chez filled peps. Add pep rings on the surface.

Serve with a garden salad w/match stick carrots. a glass of wine, and wear sweat pants... no popping your button that way. Grouch mouse was griping about farm $$ crisis while I was snapping pix... Grouchy knows how to win my good side... gripe all you want as long as dinner doesn't burn.. lol.

Note the pepto bottle.... heartburn w/tom sauce after 9pm..
