ABC COOK-OFF

ABC Holds 21st Annual Benefit Cook-off and Stirs Up Some Great Talents

The Associated Builders and Contractors Texas Gulf Coast Chapter’s 21^st Annual Cook-off was held March 5^th & 6^th at MacLean Park in Lake Jackson with 26 team entries. The competition opened on Friday evening with Iron-Chef entries. The “mystery meat” was revealed and participating teams each received pork loin to submit their best entrée for a try at the first place cash award. The week-end activities also featured four other cooking categories, a silent auction for a “favorite dessert”, Cook-off T-shirt sales, raffle ticket sales for various prize drawings, and the ABC Store which sold golf shirts and other ABC apparel. All the efforts and talent helped ABC raise funds for donation to local charities.
