Our usual hangout is having a contest on Facebook. They are calling it "Stump the Chef". You have to name an ingredient for 4 courses: appetizer, salad, entree, and dessert (4 different ingredients) for the chef to use in the weekend's specials. If he selects one of your ingredients to use, you win a gift card to the establishment.
It was supposed to end during this week and the specials were supposed to be on this weekend's specials menu, but apparently there was such a good response that they are extending it through Sunday and the winners will be on next weekend's menu.
These were my selections:
Appetizer: littleneck clams
Salad: artichokes
Entree: pork belly
Dessert: coconut
What do you think? What would YOU have picked for your entry?

Just think of what you would like to see in those courses. You must have some type of preferences. Since the specials are going to be made with what the chef picks from the suggestions, I picked things that I liked. I wasn't going to go all "Chopped" and pick obscure, gross things because 1) then he wouldn't select that (it wouldn't sell) and 2) I wouldn't want to eat it.

As I am the poster child for The Chef's Cookbook for Dummies, I will select what will appall you: nachos, bacon bits. fried shrimp, chocolate.
