A chef friend of mine entered a chili cook off. When we aren't competing we are friends...lol.
Presentation is always key important at these things and people often don't get that. They focus so hard on the recipe and making the food taste perfect that they do the absolute worst job of presentation. And it's a shame....(I've digressed terribly)
But my chef friend decided to do something different. So he got a new toilet
that he was planning on installing in his house to replace one that was old and bad....set it up on some bricks with a couple of cans of sterno under it and served his chili out of that for the cook off.
It got noticed for sure. He got some kind of prize for it too
...the judges were laughing about it all.
