    Josephine,

    Do you have to bring a prepared sample?

    Good luck! Are you able to share with us your recipe (or a description of the dish)?

    ,


    Since the terms of the contest indicate that the recipe be composed from existing elements of the Dawali menu, I assume that Chef Nasser will take care of the preparation.

    BR, I'd be happy to spill the beans but I wonder if that might detract from the chef's plan to create a special event. I'd better save that info for later. Thanks for the good wishes!


    I wonder who will be on the panel of judges?

    From the Dawali website--doesn't sound like there's tons of room on the patio for spectators on Thursday:

    Dawali’s First Annual Best Recipe Contest! 
     
    How it works:
    Submit your favorite recipes built from ingredients currently on the Dawali menu beginning Tuesday, June 1 through Wednesday, June 30.

    Dawali’s Owner and Executive Chef, Nasser Amer, will select five top recipes.  The finalists will be notified Monday, July 5 and invited to a taste test event on Thursday, July 15 where guest judges will choose the best recipe.  The event will be held on Dawali’s newly opened patio that is open for lunch and dinner daily with seating for 30.

    The winner of the Best Recipe Contest will receive their recipe on Dawali’s menu for three months, a $100 gift certificate to Dawali and a complimentary one-night stay at the newly renovated Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza.

    Hi,

    Why did they cancel? I was planning to go this evening.

    I called to double-check to find it is really canceled. Geez, not everyone is going to Green City Market.
