ABC COOK-OFF

Associated Builders & Contractors of Texas Gulf Coast, Inc.
20TH ANNUAL BENEFIT COOK-OFF

The 20^th Annual Cook-off sparked the flames in spite of the cold and rainy weather! The cook-off included a new category on Friday night for “Iron Chef.” This gave teams the opportunity to get creative on the spot not knowing until Friday evening that they would all be given Salmon and asked to submit their best entrée for a try at the first place cash award. The week-end activities also featured four other cooking categories. In addition to all the cooking, the event featured a silent auction for a “favorite dessert”; cook-off t-shirt sales; and raffle ticket sales for various prize drawings. This smoking competition is one of various events which helps ABC to raise funds for donations to local charities each year.
