Our Culinary Contest judges this year had a tough task, tasting a lot of food in a short time and deciding which menu items were best in three categories, including a new one, "Dragon's Choice," for use of the Year of the Dragon theme.
The winners were: BEST IN SHOW The Orange Crunch The overall top award this year goes to a first-time vendor, which served Filipino food including their crunchy orange Empanadas and Lumpia eggrolls, with a polished food cart facade.
