Judges Pick, Popular Pick, All Ran Expectedly Well At The Cadillac Event.
After the Irvine Spectrum, the Cadillac Culinary Challenge Test Drive Event drives on.
As reported, I was one of five Food Blogger Judges at Cadillac’s Irvine stop.
As one lucky Judge, I got to taste the dishes prepared by Mary Sue Milliken and Yvon Goetz.
The event’s sponsors also include Share Our Strength, Bon Appétit and Epicurious.
Samples were delivered to the first two rows of the audience — Get to the next event early.
Halfway through Mary Sue’s sample the Judges were informed they’re to receive larger samples than the audience. Wow, okay. I quickly finished the small sample of Ceviche to prepare for the larger sample. Happiness, because it was perfectly tangy and spicy.
And then tried Chef Yvon Goetz dish, Chili Lime Rubbed Hawaiian Mahi Mahi (above).
Both dishes were impressive and the Mad Hungry Woman wrote more about ’em here.
Voting — Three of five Judges voted for Chef Yvon Goetz dish and two voted for Mary Sue’s.
Beautiful, fresh ingredients were used by both.
And the winner of this challenge was Chef Yvon Goetz.
I voted for Mary Sue’s Ceviche — It received the popular (audience) vote. No losers here.
I like taking photos of other bloggers taking photos of FOOD.
Before, during and after the competition, some test drove Cadillacs — Love the Escalade.
What a terrific, well run event — Check the schedule to see if it’s heading towards you.
Can I just travel the country judging food competitions? Thanks for the taste.
