« Reply #-1 on: May 03, 2015, 05:46:39 AM »
Yesterday I had the honor to take part in the 5th Southwest-German Grilling Competition as a judge again.

The teams had to prepare the following courses:

1. Bratwurst
2. Vegetarian starter
3. Salmon
4. Dessert

Here are some pictures showing the teams and their presentation plates:





















































































Here are some impressions from the turn in boxes:























































And here are the winners! Places 3-2-1 from the courses, 3-2-1 from the over all placements  and at last place 1 from the fun and creativity challenge:



Bratwurst:







Vegetarian:







Salmon:







Dessert:







Over all championship:









Fun & creativity - Ahoi!



Congrats to all the teams!

Competitions cooks in Europe are much more into presentation than just using the dreaded KCBS box of green. It's high-end restaurant-quality work.

I first noticed that when I judged the World BBQ competition in Germany many years ago.

Very nice pictures of what was certainly a fun time WC!

And - it is nice to see that in the world of Outdoor Cooking - we are expanding beyond BBQ to grilling-  and the Steak Cook-off Association has been holding some competitions in Germany also.

What could come next? Why not outdoor  pizza competitions, or outdoor oven  pastry "bake-offs"?  :)

Great pictures and beautiful food presentation!

We eat with our eyes first so I think that it is really cool they spend the time on plating too.
