You read the title correct. It's for a good cause that i got drug into... I've done plenty of jambalaya and gumbo cookoffs before but I want to do something different

I'm thinking a chicken or pork friccassee so far. Wife wants spaghetti. I'll be doing some quail breast stuffed with jalapeño, cream cheese and cajun injector for the dad's hanging out with us.

If you want to get a bit fancy, do a pot of shrimp or crawfish fettuccini.

Pasta, nice rich sauce, local seafood, good seasoning------what's not to like???

Chili is a good one for a cookoff. Especially using wild game.

Sauce Piquant is always a good choice.

That's the first thing that came to mind.

Get a bunch of real nice bone-in pork steaks and make a good gravy that sticks to the rice.

Look up Brian Langstrom's spaghetti/ bolonaise on YouTube. It's as legit as it can get.

Appetizer cook offs are always a huge hit.

Crawfish cakes. Just peeled and bagged a bunch so it is on my mind.

We got a Boston butt on sale the other day, so we're going to use that.
I also took my last few packs of duck out the freezer. I took the skin off them all and rendered it down. I plan to use that for my roux with it.
