Here goes (man, this was tough!)….

3rd Place: CarterQ's smoked meatball soup with beer bread. A nice hearty soup is a perfect way to prepare for colder temperatures.

2nd Place: Patric_CT's cordon bleu a la MAK, stuffed tomatoes, then breakfast the next morning. Those rolled up chicken breasts looked well worth the effort, and that throw-together morning casserole is a perfect way to end a hectic but fun family gathering.

1st Place: HogSmoker's chicken legs with baked beans, veggies and baked potatoes. That's a menu with something to appeal to each person's favorites.

Kudos to everyone who entered. The real winners are those who got the chance to eat the beautiful food pictured in this week's contest—any week's contest, for that matter.

Thanks everyone for entering and for making my initial judging a difficult one.

WOW ! two honors in a row winning and to judge next week. Really it is a honor just to be in the group and a 1st place finish almost leaves me speechless. I have told lots of folks about BP Smokers and this website telling them they would be entertained just looking at all the fine art of cooking that people bring to the form.
So thanks BP for having a place like this so we can share.
And thanks SmokinSooner, Patrick & Carter as always with ya'll entries just fabulous.

I know exactly how you feel, HogSmoker.

thank me after judging! hahahah

This sentiment's right on, Big Poppa. Winning's great, but I dreaded all week knowing that the entries would be superb. I can't imagine what next week's offerings will be with it being Thanksgiving and everyone's sure to bring out the very best of their best. HogSmoker, I wish you good luck—you might need to keep some additional Tums around :D.

The summer cooks where there are 15-20 entries get really tough...The smartest thing I did here was make it so I was never the judge!
