by jbfauthor on August 24, 2009

The recipes have been made, the dishes have been tasted, and the results have been tabulated. We have a winner for our first ever Twitter Cook-off! Before we announce the results, we thought it would be fun to give everyone a taste (pun intended) of what went down at the Beard House on Friday afternoon. judges Despite the steamy and sticky heat outside, our four Judges arrived ready to sample and score the five finalists that you picked earlier in the week. We asked them to rate each dish on a scale of 1 to 5 in two categories: first, the effective and creative use of Twitter as a medium to convey the recipe, and second, taste.

Tweet Eats: Your Tweeted Recipes

by jbfauthor on August 05, 2009

Since we launched our Twitter Cook-Off on Monday, we've gotten a slew of recipes that demonstrate your skills in the kitchen as well as your fluency in Twitter shorthand. We don't want to give away the secrets of distilling a recipe to a tweet, so we're taking a few of our favorite submitted recipes and reprinting them in plain old English.
  • Mascarpone and Goat Cheese–Stuffed Profiteroles with Marjoram and Strawberry–Rhubarb Compote
  • Pan-Fried Sweetbreads with Shallots, Thyme, and Toasted Pine Nuts
  • Balsamic and Orange–Glazed Figs with Vanilla Ice Cream and Pistachios
Think you have a recipe that could make it to the semifinals? The contest ends on August 14, so you still have nine days to tweet us a recipe and get a chance to win two tickets to our exclusive (read: private) Jack Daniel's Birthday Party at the Beard House on September 9. The event will feature Hill Country barbecue, cocktails by David Wondrich, and an impressive
