Wow, ok let me say that again, Wow.....I had to pinch myself just to make sure that I did not die and go to southern comfort heaven or to make sure that I was not in an altered state of mind. The flavors from the shrimp and grits played a symphony. While the spices had my taste buds dancing like there was no tomorrow. The tasting portions were a little larger than expected, which made it difficult to get through all of the participants. With a couple of rest periods, completion was achieved and my vote submitted. I would like to say, congratulations to The Windsor Restaurant of New Albany for first place. I will be making the drive across the river to sample more of their dishes. My personal favorite was a tie between the tamale shrimp and grits with the red-eyed gravy, from Big Spring Country Club and the citrus shrimp and grits with the candied orange zest, from Z's Fusion. The evening was a blast and a real bargain at 15.00 dollars per person. I would have been just as happy, if I had paid 50.00 dollars a person. Many thanks to all that were involved, putting on this incredible event. Sign me up for the next one.......
One last note, I feel that there were no losers last night. Every chef, every restaurant, every volunteer, was a WINNER
God Bless you all....
