☘️🍲 MEET YOUR IRISH STEW COOK-OFF JUDGES! 🍲☘️
Ladies and gentlemen, we've assembled a highly distinguished panel of culinary experts, local legends, and professional pint enthusiasts to determine who makes the finest Irish Stew in the land!
☘️ KRISTI PAUL
Former proprietor of Evelyn's and Muffy's Basement, former Irish Stew Cook-Off Champion, and cheesecake extraordinaire! A woman of impeccable taste, questionable patience, and a palate that doesn't take kindly to rubbish stew!
🏰 ASHLEY HOROBIN
Hailing from the highest castle in England! Former rugby champion turned coach, proud American veteran, and internationally unrecognized pint-guzzling guru! A man who's tackled opponents twice his size and isn't afraid to tackle a bowl of questionable stew!
🎸 JASON FARRUGGIA
Metal guitar-thrashing maniac for MENACE, former Irish Stew Cook-Off Champion, and reigning National Irish Stout Drinking Champion since 2013 (according to absolutely no governing body). A man who likes his music heavy, his stout dark, and his stew thicker than a guitar riff!
🎙️ KENDELL KUBASCH
Fast-talking, jive-slinging DJ for KRWC, bona fide local legend, and rip-roaring jazz master! A man with a voice smoother than Irish butter and enough hot air to keep a stew pot simmering all winter!
🍀 FOUR JUDGES. FOUR REFINED PALATES. ONE QUESTIONABLE SET OF CREDENTIALS.
Who will take home the glory and be crowned this year's IRISH STEW COOK-OFF CHAMPION?!
Come hungry, come thirsty, and may the luck of the Irish be with ya!
SLÁINTE! 🍻☘️
