OK. You’ve heard about the Gilroy Garlic Festival’s “So You Think You Can Cook With Garlic” Facebook challenge, and you’re up to the task.
You like to eat garlic. You’re good at cooking with garlic.
But maybe you’re camera-shy. Or perhaps uploading videos to Facebook isn’t your thing.
Don’t let tech-savvy – or lack thereof – thwart the opportunity to participate.
If you’re thinking of entering the challenge – a cooking competition beginning on Facebook and culminating before a packed audience in the Cook-Off Theater July 29 at Christmas Hill Park in Gilroy – we’d like share in your culinary journey.
Email reporter Blair Tellers at bt******@************ch.com, or call 847-7158 to tell us more about the garlicky goodness of your recipe, what makes it divine and why it could be a winner. We’ll even help you with the video if you’re having trouble.
The contest will be open to amateur chefs 18 and older who post a video of themselves preparing their recipe on the Festival’s Facebook page at facebook.com/garlicfestival.
The five contestants with the highest number of “liked votes” on Facebook will be posted June 6 on kgoradio.com for online voting through midnight June 17. The two individuals with the highest number of votes on kgoradio.com will be invited to prepare their recipes on stage July 29 at the Gilroy Garlic Festival.
Contest details can be viewed at the Festival’s Facebook page or at gilroygarlicfestival.com.
The winning chef will receive $810 in cash and the runner-up will receive a $250 gift card from at any Raley’s, Bel Air Markets or Nob Hill Foods grocery store.
The 2011 Gilroy Garlic Festival will run from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. July 29-31 at Christmas Hill Park in Gilroy. Admission costs $17 for adults, $8 for seniors ages 60 and older and $8 for children ages 6-12. Children younger than 6 will be admitted for free. Parking is also free.
