Not literally burned. The results came out last night. I knew before we left that bar that I didn't come in top three, but at least I finished 5th. The real heart-breaker came when I got a misdirected email from the organizer Monday asking me, as one of the winners, for my recipe [see transcript below]. I was proud of my creation, it came out how I wanted it to, and I received some compliments, so no complaints.

As part of the follow up to your victory, I need to get a description of your sammich so that we can let the world know what led you to victory.
Please get back to me as soon as you can, as the Oakland Tribune wants to run a story and they need a description of all the winners.
Yours in Bread, Butter, Cheese and Victory,

My sandwich, The Ol' Vermonter, was apple pie filling made with Macintosh apples, Vermont maple syrup and crushed pecans, encased in sharp Cabot cheddar between slices of cheap white bread slathered in maple butter and grilled until crusty.
As I recall though, I didn't win.
Best,
Quinn

Jesus, you're right, my apologies. That sammich sounds awesome, though.On Oct 29, 2007, I wrote:
I'll be publishing the scores later today/tomorrow.
However, just to let you know, your score was 25.60, which is a great score. The difference between 1st, 2nd and 3rd was 1.54 points, so it was an awfully close race.

Way to get my hopes up, just to destroy them. Thanks for hosting such
a ridiculously fun event. We had a blast.
