3 entries that could win on their own. The Nachos ? Epic The home made corn dogs ? Didn't even know you could do that. The gumbo pizza ? No words.

BPI

Peoples Choice Award - AUMAG
Honorable Mention - James

Home battered corn dogs. Simple and delicious.

James has my vote.

Pizza

AUMAG

My top 2 and all dishes looked good and 1-2 was very close. James has been one of top cooks on here for long time and still is. See below

1. Snake
2. James

Think Snake just edged him this time - i liked all dishes by everybody!!

Great effort by all!!

James gets my vote.

You get it. Cheese in Jamba is a game changer. Yall remember it started here.

Au mag my vote

Snake

Lots of damn fine entries, HOWEVER i've gotta be biased on my pick! My pick is Mag. 1# because i really like the dish #2 (actually more importantly should've been #1) i think it be bad juju ifn i voted against my Ancestors ☺️

Can I vote for the backstrap and stuffed tenderloin James cooked or was that entry struck from the ballot?

Absolutely. I may have missed it in the description of all entries. You got it sir!!

Cheese in Jambalaya???

Hell Naw.

As the son of two Cajuns, he would get laughed out of Louisiana with that dish calling it jambalaya 😂😂😂😂

Well what a fantastic Open House (tm) I’d call it a tremendous success and was a lot of fun. If my math meter is calibrated correctly I do believe the famous Snakebit claims Best in Show. A few weeks back he invested in a new rig and that definitely leveled him up. Not that he needed it because he is an iconic Aldeer chef and even has his own cooking channel on YouTube. His pizza hit is all out of left field and he called his shot saying should I collect now or wait till judging. He was playing chess while BPI was eating crayons mixing cheese and rice. Enjoyed all the entries and keep an eye out for the next Open House (tm) !

Congrats Snake!!

I'm confused 🤪 Thought only folks who entered could vote? If so i got Mag? Unless I'm missing something

I think snake still gets the w. Yes only entries can vote someone check the math

My bad James - i screwed up - did not know that but makes sense

Ahhh. My vote is no bueno then….sorry fellas. I was living vicariously thru your hot plates

You still can vote for the Peoples Choice Award. No entry required

Congratulation to the winner

This was a good kickoff for grilling wather.

For the next one I'll kick in 20 bucks for the prize. If we got enough donations for the winner / runner up / most creative , it could get real interesting. Irish may even come out of retirement and team duck down might pop up back in here.

Guess my entry got struck?

Bear. Apologies my friend. Your entry didn’t get struck technical difficulties and human error. My sidekick CM was post to help me but he was busy playing tennis. Your entry was fantastic I’m so sorry I left if off the voting thread. But nobody can ever take away the fact that you won the inaugural Open House (tm).

Your entry was epic. In fact a close runner up in my standings. Do we need a recount ? The people have spoken.

I think his entry was outstanding. Did he miss some votes because his entry was left off the voting ballot, most definately. Totally not his fault I ma\de a mistake, it takes alot to host one of these things and Cm left my all by myself because of a stupid tennis match, i'm not making excuses but I dont think anyone was going to beat Snakes smorgusbord of entries the homemade corn dogs were an insanely brilliant move nobody expected that brought us back to our childhood at the ballpark and he has the rig to pull this type of emotional food we all love and relate to. Then he turns in a pizza creation only a pizza genious could create to solidify his domination of the house, he even called his own number when he turned the pie in! I apoligize for leaving bear out of the voting thread and vow to do better in the future but we all have to recognize what Snake did and we can learn, grow and move on, to the next Open House (tm)

Smells a little fishy if you ask me.......Vote rigging??

Dominion tallying the votes.

I wouldn’t dare to choose one over the other. All looked great!

We try we improve we move forward

No ID’s and mail in ballots ✊🏾

Hmmm

After looking back in the voting it does appear that 338 had three votes from those of us who turned in entries verses 2 for Snake ( who I voted for by the way )

It does appear 338 is the winner according to the criteria laid out for the voting. I also am submitting a vote of no confidence for the open house host. May be time for new leadership. I may put cheese in my jamba but I can count to 3.

Yep what I seen (and mentioned the other day lol) 😄

Rut-roh

This made me laugh out loud.

I missed the vote but I would have voted for snake and that seafood pizza. I almost licked my phone screen when I saw that dish.

I ain’t been good at math never claimed to be either but yes we could use an official counter for these events

i can help with this bill. Very easy to count my votes.

but next open house im coming back with a vengeance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I do appreciate it fellas.
I've been at a conference this week and just now getting a chance to check back in.
Keep the pot hot until the next one.

I;;;m thinking the next Open House (tm) will be open for anyone to vote regardless if you turn in an entry

i like it..

Just need a counter now

i will be the counter and make sure i have my socks and shoes off as well!

Shaneomac2 will be the oficial accountant for all Open House (tm) moving forward
