The Best Thing You Ever Ate . . .

[Hub]

I've got an "anything but" competition coming up next month and I'm trying to gather ideas.  "Anything But" in BBQ competition means the entry cannot be one of our standard four (chicken, ribs, butt, brisket) and dessert is another category that I'm not cooking so my entry needs to be something killer tasty that isn't competition barbeque or dessert. 

The rules are pretty lax so I can do some prep and even pre-cooking at home but in the spirit of the event I'm going to do as much of the cook as possible on site using my pellet cookers, a gas hotplate and a small deep fryer. 

Given the limitations  I've listed, what would make a good entry based on your tastebuds and what you like to see when you're really trying to please yourself?  The more ideas the better

I'm thinking a bacon weave fatty

I'm going with a Breaded Steak casserole.    Different than anything and cooked on the grill really kicks up the flavor.

A sure winner    http://www.letstalkbbq.com/index.php?topic=5576.msg68913#msg68913

Cook some goat.

[sparky]

Twice baked potatoes.  Lots of possibilities with twice baked tators.

Enchiladas or Lasagne! But are great on the pellet grill.

[smokeasaurus]

Pellet fried chicken

Lots of good seafood.

Crab, lobster, clams, oysters, rainbow trout, salmon...

Crawfish season is here.

This might give you some ideas Hub. You can't go wrong with bacon or pork belly! Don

I ate my weight in Lobster @ the Rio All You Can Eat buffet in Las Vegas. Will never forget it. I know those black mountains around Vegas are leftover seafood shells.  LOL  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Seafood, anything with seafood!

Cold smoked scallops, wrapped in bacon, - finish cooking in your pellet grill and then topped with a a combination of browned butter, white wine and some capers, and black pepper.

I'll take two of those . . . . .

Some good ideas and concepts are stacking up.  The judging of this category has no rules so it is going to have to be something with really wide appeal.  So far I've rejected limburger coated livermush with pineapple aioli and rent-a-peas but I'm still looking 

THANKS!

Not sure this is right for your cook-off, but the very best thing I ever ate was in a small posada in Brazil. We had fresh grilled lobster over a live fire - nothing fancy - just lobster and fire. Along with that were anchovies - but not your tinned anchovies. These were 12 to 18 inches long, grilled whole. Again, very simple - fish and fire. It might have had something to do with the caipirinhas, but ohhhh boy that was the best meal I have to date.
