There are still a few spots for the Kansas City Casserole Party

11 Nov

If you’ve been thinking about entering the Third Annual Kansas City Casserole Party, happening tomorrow night at the Honeytree Gallery, and haven’t yet, you still have time. There are still a few spots open for this cheesy casserole cooking competition. Don’t be intimidated — while professional chefs are welcome to enter, this is more about making something warm and delicious that you love. If you want me to love it, it should also be full of cheese and starch. But I’m not a judge. Here’s what you have to look forward to:

The Winning Kansas City Casserole

10 Nov

Out of 28 casseroles entered in the 2nd Annual Kansas City Casserole Party on Saturday night at the ScionLab, most everyone seemed to agree there was one clear winner: Casserole No. 4, Lauren Busch’s Mojo Risin’, a braised citrus mojo pork and yucca dish. Lauren has kindly shared the recipe with me, so we can all see what kind of work (and time) goes into making a winning casserole.

For her hard work and delicious ingredients, Lauren went home with a $100 gift certificate to Pryde’s Old Westport, a $25 gift certificate to Bon Bon Atelier and a hand-made hat from Toasty Brain.

You can hear Lauren talking about prepping her casserole (and me talking for an hour about casseroles) on this episode of KCUR’s “Central Standard”.

The full recipe is after the jump.

Casseroles and chop sticks: a match made in Brooklyn Kitchen heaven

Words cannot express my gratitude to everyone who was involved in the Casserole Party Monday night at The Brooklyn Kitchen. Thank you to the 44 teams, the judges, the sponsors, the band, the volunteers and to all 115+ people in the room who helped us raise more than $1,100 for the Greenpoint Soup Kitchen. Oh, and to Mo Scarpelli for taking these wonderful pictures.

Five Things to Expect at the 6th Annual Brooklyn Casserole Party

18 Oct

The Brooklyn Casserole Party is exactly one week away. And you still have five days to register.

If you need a little more encouragement, here are five things to expect at the Sixth Annual Brooklyn Casserole Party, happening Monday, October 25 at The Brooklyn Kitchen.

1. Camille Ford, host of the Travel Channel’s “Food Wars,” will judge your casserole, along with Corey Henderson of the Universal Records Database (URDB.org, as seen on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,) and Ann Kansfield from the Greenpoint Soup Kitchen.

2. Corey will be helping us set some casserole-related records for URDB. No word yet on whether Jimmy Fallon will be his date, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

3. New this year: the beer is lovingly provided by the Brooklyn Brewery.

4. Also new this year: since you don’t have to buy beer, I’m going to pass the Pyrex for the Greenpoint Soup Kitchen while we’re all stuffing our faces with food we probably don’t need but absolutely want. So bring your dollar bills, yo.

5. As usual, the grand prize will be a lovely Le Creuset.

Please read the Rules & Regulations and register for the Sixth Annual Brooklyn Casserole Party.

Save the Date for the 6th Annual Brooklyn Casserole Party

28 Jul

Hey, casserole people. I’m happy to announce that yesterday (my last of a 12-day stretch in Brooklyn), I stopped by the new Brooklyn Kitchen/the Meat Hook space and settled on a home and a date for the 6th annual Casserole Party. The party will be Monday, October 25, 2010 at The Brooklyn Kitchen‘s beautiful Lab Number One.

It’s a lot bigger than our previous home at Brooklyn Label, which means we’ll have more room for entries this year. I’m going to allow up to 50 teams to enter.

Registration is not yet open, and I promise to post more details soon. But I will give up one little tidbit: one of the confirmed judges is…..
