Great entries, gang! All are Grand Master worthy! I have to think about this!

I'd pay for any one of those. Definitely "mood dependent", but each one looks fantastic, and I'd be proud to serve any one of them based on presentation. Beyond anything I've done, that's for sure.

By the time I finished looking at the polling photos my mouth was watering. These cook threads are going to cause a flood, better Saran the keyboard first.

Wampus · Feb 23, 2015

Oh there's just no way possible I can decide upon first look.

Gonna need to revisit this a few times...........

All fantastic entries.

My first thought was, "Well a burger doesn't seem to fit with the group", but I have to say, that burger photo has been impressing me since I saw it the first time! Possibly the best burger photo I've ever seen!

This isn't going to be easy!

OK, my NORMAL approach to TD's has been to just vote based upon the "money shot" entry photos. I just take them on face value and am usually able to come up with a favorite, solely based on presentation and photography.

These are all great.

So I looked at each thread, considered the ingredients, how each were used, were each integral into the whole dish, was it inventive, original, delicious looking AND sounding?

Yeah.....that didn't make things any easier. :doh:

Fark these are some great looking dishes you guys!

You guys rocked the house. Good thing we have a WEEK to decide!

THoey1963 · Feb 23, 2015

Yeah, gonna need the week to decide. All four look great, but I kinda narrowed it down to three. Hey, it's a start...

mchar69 · Feb 23, 2015

I narrowed it down to four. This is epic!

Bonewagon · Feb 23, 2015

Spectacular entries all around! Gonna be tough to choose just one. :thumb:

ShencoSmoke · Feb 23, 2015

Unreal! Great job everyone! Might come down to a coin toss for me, or eenie meanie meinie mo.

tish · Feb 23, 2015

They all look so colorful and inviting! I agree there's no way one look is gonna decide this for me. I'll have to study each cook thread carefully because presentation is so equally matched. Great job, guys! :clap2:

Wickedcajun · Feb 23, 2015

It would be much easier to pick if I could just taste them all!!!

chicagokp · Feb 23, 2015

Great entries all around! Congrats to all. And it looks like it brought out some interest from members that never or rarely ever post! :thumb: Hopefully they are encouraged to participate on the site in other ways too!

Everything looks so incredible that you're all winners in my book. Jed, I took one look at the crust on that roast and thought I'd about have a stroke. Delicious! But all the crunchy, colorful fruits and veggies on Toast's creation were just singing to me. Very hard to resist! Mongo, I had pretty well determined you had me with those lamb burger buns and that bangin' coleslaw. Very creative, brother! But when push came to shove, dang, Buccs! You ought to get a medal for the work you put into that meal. That sammie is calling to me, and I don't think it's gonna stop any time soon. You've got my vote, brother. Congrats on fantastic meals from everyone! :clap2:

Kathy's Smokin' · Feb 23, 2015

Buccs nailed me and my vote. :faint2:
I don't know how I'm going to recover from that cook thread.

Applause to all my brothers for such wonderful displays of flavour, colour…. and the drool leaking out of the side of my mouth. :clap:

I can't believe the voting isn't closer.

And also....I want y'all to know that I had a hard time voting for Toast since he doesn't like GM.
That made it super hard.

Anything Pre 2008 is fine. :thumb:

Congrats to all, each one looks like a winner to me. I went with the one that I would take a bite from first, the entry from Toast.

ShadowDriver · Feb 23, 2015

Wow. To steal a line from one of my favorite chefs, Sean Brock, "I'm jarred."

Shenco, THoey, and mchar have it right. This is going to take some braincells and time..

You guys rock. :jaw:
