I loved your tale, Pip! Even if it didn't win the contest, it's a winner with me! I loved being with Capt. Phil & Tarn, but we also had lunch at Foxy's. Looks like I'll have to schedule another trip on the Wayward Sailor that includes lunch! :D

I haven't been out with Capt. Phil since our first trip to STJ when I was just a youngster. :wink: I can't remember any lunch, so I might have to try it again, just for that chicken salad.

I'm not objective, but here's the winning entry.

It's a story about a meal in Bangkok that included odd foods. A decent story, but I felt mine was written more in the way Bourdain would tell the story.

Congrats to the asshat who won I guess.

Wonder what they would have served him if he had not been the guest of honor?

Bourdain ate that somewhere in Africa. Yes...the episode where he ate wharthog (I think) anus.

I am so bitter about this. Ignore the fact that I can't go because I'm stranded here in Tennessee.

He wrote lies. All fiction. If the reqest for essays would have been to write about the most disgusting food experience you could have won (not with the one submitted. If that is what he likes, make sure to drop names, state your position (superior) and then drink scotch.and how all You could have done that with much more name dropping, titles, scotch drinking
You're right. Stupid. writing this under a little influence so I hope it makes sense. Just pick out parts that make sense.
