#PeterBsWingsContest: A Winning Recipe

When I saw #PeterBsWingsContest - a cooking contest to create a chicken wings sauce using one of Peter B's brews - announced on Peter B's Facebook page, I was inspired. I created a sauce showcasing a stout then I submitted my Sumpin' Stout Doubled Down Chicken Wings to the contest...and waited.

Yesterday, the chef at Peter B's recreated all the entries - or maybe just the finalists' entries, I'm not sure - and six different recipes were judged by the Beer Geeks, the Grub Hunter, and Peter B's brewmaster Kevin Clark AKA Chris, Merideth, Mike, and Kevin. I was oddly nervous that a professional chef was making one of my recipes. Here's the crew, judging the dishes during Pub Talk last night. Here's their blogpost announcing the winner. Woohoo.

Here's what the wings looked like, coming out of Peter B's kitchen...

I was on assignment somewhere else, so I didn't attend the tasting. When I got back home later (and to my laptop), I saw that one of the Beer Geeks had tweeted me: "You won...I took your prize since you weren't here." He was kidding. I hope he was kidding!

I also received a text from another friend and an email from yet another. "I heard your name on KRML this afternoon winning 1st place for some chicken wings! LOL! Way to go!"

I liked the challenge they posed. I really liked the culinary adventure of creating a new dish. And, I'll be honest, I loved winning the contest!

Look for the post of about Jake's and my Peter B's adventure later. That's what I won - dinner for two and a night at the hotel. Can you say 'stay-cation'?? Love it!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy. Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here.

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday. My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons. Ke...
