Here are the rules in regards to the Mystery Meat Category ONLY.

1. Must be cooked, raw/uncooked product will be disqualified.

2. Must have 6 servings, or enough to get six samples from the entry.

3. Must be cooked and prepared ON SITE, meat should not leave the contest site, period.

4. Can use ANY cooking method or fuel – gas, electric, solar, etc.

5. Can use ANY garnish – ANYTHING GOES!

6. Not required to use 9 x 9 turn in containers, we’ll supply a 3 x 5 index card for your number and tape if need be to secure it. You MUST have your number on the entry (and not on the underside please!).

7. Limit turn in overall size to 18 x 18 x 18 or so, and must be carry able by a single person without assistance.

8. If you feel the need to ask – Can I/we make it part of a _____________________, most likely our answer will be YES! Keep in mind we are judging the MEAT, not the sides/extras.

9. Have fun and get creative!

10. Teams will get the Mystery Meat during the cooks meeting, and we hope to have enough to allow teams to do a test cook Fri night.

If  you have any additional cooked Mystery Meat, rest assured some of the support staff would very much enjoy trying your creations, hint hint, nudge nudge.

There will more hints before the contest….
