I would prefer to send this to you as an e...Hello,<br /><br />I would prefer to send this to you as an email. I apologize. It's not meant as a comment. <br /><br />I’m reaching out to prominent Houston food bloggers to let you know about the first ever Houston Beer Experiment - an amateur cook-off pitting Houston’s finest, most committed, and passionate home chefs against one another to battle for culinary glory! The Houston Beer Experiment on March 4 is kicking off a 16-city National Food Experiment Tour sponsored by Brooklyn Brewery. The Grand Prize winner of the Houston Beer Experiment gets a trip to Brooklyn, NY courtesy of Brooklyn Brewery to compete in the World Series / Super Bowl / World Cup of food competitions: The National Championship! Where the winner will be up against the winners from around the country and the globe.<br /><br />The Food Experiments (www.thefoodexperiments.com) is a series of amateur cook-offs that celebrate the home chef. Dishes will range from the savory to the sweet. You’ll see it all: Beer Braised Bratwurst, Secret Chili Recipes, Beer Soups, Beer Jelly, Beer-laced bread puddings, Stout milkshakes… Remember there is always room for a little experimentation and one last bite. As long as there’s some kind of beer in it, it can represent. You may never look at beer the same way.<br /><br />By creating these events, my co-organizer and I have looked to develop a community of food and fun-loving people not only in our hometown of Brooklyn but also across the country. And now thanks to our presenting sponsor Brooklyn Brewery, The Food Experiments are going on the road for a second year!<br /><br />The Houston Beer Experiment will be held at Fitzgerald’s on Sunday March 4, 2012 from 1-4 PM. Anyone can compete! All you have to do is sign up through our website. Anyone can win! Anyone can attend! Tickets are $10 and include a Brooklyn Brewery Beer. A portion of the event’s proceeds will go towards charities that promote sustainability and local culinary education for disadvantaged children and teens.<br /><br />I’d like to encourage you and your readers to enter or attend. The grand prize is a trip to Brooklyn (we fly you in, take you out for some great food, and put you up in a cool hotel) to eat and compete against all the cook-off winners from around the country. All Houston chef-testants will be a provided with a $50 Central Market gift certificate to help purchase ingredients for the competition.<br /><br />Both the audience and the judges will get to name their favorites. Our esteemed judging panel will include Chef Chris Shepherd of Underbelly, Chef Adam Dorris of Stella Sola, and Jenny Wang of Southbound Food and Chowhound. Don’t forget to check out the prizes!<br />The Friday Night Food Bloggers Meet Up: Our presenting sponsor, Brooklyn Brewery invites “Chef-testants”, Press, and Food Bloggers to a pre-event Happy Hour. It is an opportunity for food loving individuals to get together, shed their outer layer, drink some beer, and dig deeper into food obsessions and personal insecurities. It will take place on Friday, March 2nd, 5:30PM to 8PM at Hay Merchant, and feature some special and unique Brooklyn Brewery beers. <br /><br />On a side note, if you have any eating recommendations for Houston please send them my way.
