January's Best of

Our "best of" tasting was super fun and we are happy to support the tradition for next year.

Slight modifications were made to original recipes, which made it even more fun:
Team BJ made their own cornmeal sage dough for the empanadas and also presented a cup with Buffalo Stew Meat Goat Cheese and Cilantro. They also made the Watermelon Margaritas with Sotol in honor of John's recent run in Bandera.
Team K cooked their pork on the grill instead of the oven.
Team N didn't change the carnitas recipe, we did serve with Bluecorn and Flaxseed Tortillas, Cotija Cheese and Cilantro. We didn't find any of the Sakes that Jonathan brought to the sake tasting so we just brought a sake to represent...
Richard brought a bottle of Baker's and Paul showed up with a bottle of Bain's, that South African Whiskey that was ordered online, and left it for John as a congratulatory gift.
