Well, The cook-off on Cape Cod has come and gone. It was a great deal of fun and Esther and I had a wonderful time. We met some more avid DO enthusiasts and participants and a whole bunch of spectators. The weather was wonderful, the people were great, and the cooking was out of sight. I would encourage anyone that wants to spend a weekend on Cape Cod with their Dutch Ovens to consider the last Saturday in September 2004 and participate in this cook-off. This was a really good time and I would encourage anyone to make the trip next year and participate in this event. Bob Phillips does all of this on his own. Not really any sponsors, just him because he enjoys doing it. Most of the entrants were from right there in the area locally and then there was us. They treated us like we were part of them and the spectators were very friendly and really rooted us on. They had all kinds of questions for us and most of them stayed all day. We plan on attending and competing again next year. We finished First overall in the Bread category, Second in the Main Dish category, third in the Dessert category and Second in the Three Pot Category.
