I was one of six "celebrity" judges for the "Best Sandwich in Sandwich" competition yesterday here on Cape Cod. Ten restaurants participated and three served pulled pork... interesting!
I've judged a lot of barbecue competitions over the years and believe me none of the pulled pork came even close to "competition grade." One was served with a plum chutney... just plain nasty! Unfortunately it was blind judging so I don't know which restaurant(s) not to go to!
One of the competitors submitted a tuna fish sandwich on white bread... nothing to go with it... no lettuce, tomato, nada. Another restaurant had an interesting pickled cuke/ onion combination but I don't think it was made in-house.
There was only one entry that was a "presentation"...
All the others were just sandwiches on a paper plate!
I thought it was funny when someone came up to me and said: "I know you... you're on Food TV." He was disappointed when I told him I wasn't <lol>!
