Chicago Cook Off


North versus South, young versus old, evil versus good. The rules were simple: each cook prepares two  savory and one sweet dish. Seven guests voted: 16 - 15. The North one - except that one guest didn't get to complete his ballot because the dogs needed walking and, when he had returned, the ballots had been whisked away. Hmm....
