My First Pie Contest



Yesterday was my first time Pie Contest.(KCRW radio pie contest)




When I was arrived, I was asked to cut my pie into 8th and plate 2 slices on to the plates.






there were well known chefs as the judges...

The judging started...

One of the judge is tasting my pie.


After they have taeted pies, the judges narrow down to 5 finalists in each category. I entered my Pecan pie in Fruit and Nut category which was the largest category(It seems like 70% of the pies were in this category) I was SO SURPRISED when they called my number in the top 5 in my category!
Daily News captured the excited moment! http://dailynews.mycapture.com/mycapture/enlarge.asp?image=26746858&event=889349&CategoryID=26369
At the end, I couldn't get the ribbon home, but I was very happy that my pie made it to top 5 finalist.

I will study more and loved to enter next year!

There were awesome looking pies...




After the contest, I HAD TO take picture with Stefan RichterStefan since Top chef is one of my favorite show. He nicely agreed to take picture with me.
