While on one of my favorite question and answer sites, I saw a question for July 4th that really stuck out in my head. It was about a cooking contest this individual’s family does on July 4th. I thought, how fun? A July 4th cook-off between friends & family would be an awesome party idea!
Imagine it, you call and invite a couple of your friends over for a July 4th party. You ask them to bring over a dish as it makes less work for you. But instead of just any ordinary dish, one that will be entered into a cook-off challenge that will be judged based on presentation, creativity and overall taste. Everyone at the party can vote, whether they have entered the contest or not, and the top three can have a prize. Suggestions from other members on the site included something like a gift certificate or a chef apron with mention of the events title ‘Geller’s 5th Annual July 4th Cook-off’ or something to that effect.
This competition actually reminds me of an episode of ‘Friends’ where Monica and Ross were playing football on Thanksgiving for the ‘Geller Cup’ which was really just a troll doll nailed to a piece of two by four (see photo). However, hopefully your cook-off competition won’t become as brutal as the Monica, Ross face-off where Ross was sent to the hospital with a broken nose during “Geller Bowl VI”.
This idea is a new spin on a usually traditional gathering. This can really add some fun and make it a July 4th party to remember!
