I have been entering recipe/cooking contests for about eight years. I have won/placed in about 25 contests ranging from a semi-final winner in the Manishewitz cookoff (even though I am not Kosher or Jewish) to a recent win in the Paul Newman's "Let's eat in" contest. I enter anywhere from 2-5 recipes a week and sometimes I get lucky. Contests I would really like to be involved in: Pillsbury Back Off, Build a Better Burger, National Beef, National Chicken, just to name a few. Greg Fontenot Greg Fontenot gregfonte@yahoo.com 1 Greg 0 N 0 6201 Culturally I am inspired by my Cajun background and I married into a Hispanic family. I like basic Southern cooking and enjoy making fresh pasta. My greatest idol is of course Juila Child. A big influence was Jeff Smith, The Frugal Gourmet, a name that is very rarely even spoken anymore. The food network over the past several years has become a big influence along with PBS. true false false 1 false Fontenot 1574 2008-11-03T22:10:28+00:00 true false 2f1603be8918d9d92a5180f4a42b96fcad8c81cc 5 37835 http://s3.amazonaws.com/grecipes/public/pictures/users/37835/dsc01224.jpg false 1 2 33 0 1439f94b1e1158b2ddc366ed3e273c1094f85007 0 2 greg-fontenot-6201 0 --- - 6201 0 2009-07-28T19:37:05+00:00
