2014 World Mustard Competition Judges Needed

2014 World Mustard Competition Judges Needed

Entries are arriving daily at the National Mustard Museum in Middleton, Wisconsin for the 2014 World-Wide Mustard Competition (history and details at http://mustardmuseum.com/world-wide-mustard-competition/). Multiple sessions and many panels of judges are needed to find the winning mustards, and we
are inviting you to participate as a mustard judge this year.

There are 16 categories of mustard to be tasted and scored. You will help determine the Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal winners for each category. Examples of the categories are Honey, Dijon, Spirit, Hot Pepper, and Exotic mustards, as well as mustard-based Dressings and BBQ Sauces.

As a judge for the only mustard competition in the world, you will be expected to sample more than 50 mustards and mustard-based sauces at one sitting! The judging panels will include food professionals such as chefs, food writers, cookbook authors, restaurant critics and food scientists, as well as "foodies" and some regular folks with discerning palates. This is a blind tasting and the only rule is that you must finish scoring any category that you start, and, of course, that you love mustard. While a serious undertaking, we know you’ll enjoy the experience.

Judging will occur at the National Mustard Museum under the direction of Museum Curator Barry Levenson.

First Round - Sunday, March 23, 2014 from Noon - 4:00

Second Round - Sunday, March 30, 2014 from Noon – 4:00

On both days, we'll break mid-way through the afternoon for snacks & schmoozing. Please let me know ASAP if you can participate on either or both Sundays. Also, please pass this along to your mustard-loving friends and colleagues. All available judges, please contact me via email at plevenson@mustardmuseum.com, by phone at the Museum at 608-831-2222 or on my cell at 608-444-5280.

Please note that Patti Bridges, our Operations Manager, is helping to coordinate the judging panels so you may be receiving reminders from her, and she is available to answer your questions.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Patti Levenson (aka Mrs. Mustard )
Director of Marketing

Hi,

Hi,

Mustard judges are needed for tomorrow. If you feel so inclined, please contact Mrs. Mustard.

Or if you cannot come and know someone who'd love to do this, then please pass it on!
