| Competitors and Judges |
If you are one of my loyal readers, despite my infrequency in posting, you probably already know about the Barcraft Competition at Taste of Atlanta, mostly because I wrote about it here. This year's competition was a little different, because instead of having 3 rounds of competition at different bars around Atlanta, they decided to have one big mix-off at Graveyard Tavern.
What made this year's contest fun was that it was really well attended, with 13 competitors, plus their friends and supporters, it was kind of like attending a family reunion. As we chowed down on chicken wings and fingers, fries and tots, plus some healthy vegetable looking things that I ignored, we caught up with each other and visited before the competition started.
This year's winner was none other than the Spitfire herself, Paige Lane, Bar Manager at Lady Bird Grove & Mess Hall. She was the very first to compete and made a lasting impression with the City Slicker, her strawberry rhubarb cocktail. I'm not going to lie, it was my favorite too, especially the Fernet-Branca pickled strawberries she used as a garnish, I could have eaten the entire jar! The other component of her win is that Paige has raised her competition game so much over the past year or so. Even though this is a fairly informal competition, she took the time to arrange all of her mise on slate tiles, and even had her glasses set on mirrored coasters on another larger slate tile, an incredibly attractive and professional presentation.
Another of my favorites was called something that I'm not listing here, because I try to be family friendly, but it had Kahlua and a shaved white & milk chocolate dusted rim. Now that I think about it, that was a missed opportunity, if I had combined Paige's strawberries and Ari's chocolate...

Will it be cruel if I would say I like the presentation of the cocktail glasses more and that my concentration was on them. haha:) the drinks look refreshing too just by the way. Why not share the winning recipes of the drinks.
ReplyDeleteThe perfect event starts with an extraordinary location. Whether you are dreaming of a grand entrance on a mountaintop vineyard estate, or an intimate gathering of family and friends at a seaside villa, good managers, like those at this event venue are able to turn that dream into an extraordinary wedding.
