The cost of the food is great, and usually the prize $$purse can't even come close to meeting the cost of the groceries, so you are ALSO doing it for fun and pay it forward. You will most likely entice some folks to take up DO cooking, so you have another brownie point from me for that!
The funny thing is we never get anything to eat at the cookoffs! We work hard and serve and everybody runs out of food before we get any. We went out and got hamburgers and fries after the cookoff.
