Family Services and The Taste of the Town are doing something new and different in 2009. We're looking for a signature Taste of the Town Pie! If you love to bake, join in the fun and enter the race.
Everyone who enters needs to register prior to April 24th by contacting me, Susan Wiles at 722-8173 or swiles@fsifamily.org. When I hear from you, I'll provide you with the rules of the contest and additional details.
The Kentucky Style Pies will be judged by professional chefs who will determine their favorite three pies. Those three pies will then be judged Friday morning, May 1st on WXII by their morning show personalities. I know Kimberly, Nicole, Austin, Jennie, Kenny and Preeti will thoroughly enjoy that assignment! In the past, we have always taken food from the participating Taste of the Town restaurants to WXII the Friday before the Taste for them to try. That has always been a big hit! I think they'll enjoy pie tasting as well.
Adam Andrews, General Manager and Chef at The Old Fourth Street Filling Station, will be joining us at WXII that morning too. He will be featuring the winning signature Pie recipe on his menu for two weeks following the Taste of the Town. That way everyone will have a chance to decide for themselves how good the winning pie really is. More about Adam next week!
Of course there are three people who will have a chance to taste one of the three best pies. The top three pies will be entered in the silent auction at the Taste of the Town. That's why we are requiring pie entrants to bring two pies from their recipe to enter in the contest. Many of those duplicate pies will go into the silent auction for the public to bid on.
Put on your apron, get out your rolling pin and bowls and give me a call. The recipe does not have to be an original. We just want you to make it yummy! We are looking forward to hearing from the wonderful amateur bakers around the Triad!
