22nd Annual Cook-off for Community Benefit


The 22nd Annual Cook-off was held March 4th & 5th, 2011, at MacLean Park in Lake Jackson
with 24  team entries.  The competition opened on Friday evening with Iron-Chef entries. The “mystery meat, ” beef tenderloin, was revealed to participating teams who each had a limited amount of time to submit their best entrée for a try at the first place cash award. The week-end activities also featured: four other cooking categories as well as a Silent Auction for a “favorite dessert”; Cook-off T-shirt sales; and raffle ticket sales.  Participating teams, sponsors and relevant activities came together for a good cause and helped to raise funds for donation to local charities
