Last week, with the help of Google Austin and Will Burdette, I threw my first live, online cook-off. It might actually have been the first EVER live, online cook-off. I'm not 100% sure, but I can't think of another one ever happening, so that's pretty cool.
Anyway, Will hosted while three of us food bloggers cooked up our very best dish using leftovers from Thanksgiving as main ingredients. Things got pretty silly. There were gravy shooters, cranberry cocktails, even chicken dancing. If you're curious, you can watch the video from the event here.
After we finished, we asked viewers to vote for their favorite so that we could name a champion. Google generously sponsored some prizes too! The winner will be receiving a copy of Modernist Cuisine at Home, and a $50 Sur La Table gift card. Not too shabby. Though every dish was truly awesome, the votes are in, and one dish leapt ahead of the crowd.
Announcing the winner of the 2012 Thanksgiving Leftovers Cook-Off:
AMY KRITZER OF WHAT JEW WANNA EAT!!
Yeah! Way to go, Amy! She created a mouth-watering plate of Thanksgiving themed Eggs Benedict for our challenge. You can check out the recipe for it on Amy's blog. It looks delicious.
Amy wasn't the only winner on Thanksgiving. I entered a shot from Thanksgiving dinner in Show Me The Bird, a photo contest hosted by DrinkandClick's Juan Gonzalez. My Instagram photo won!
Here's the winning shot: our roasted turkey being attacked by my lovely friend, Lauren. This baby won me a fancy camera strap. Yeah!
