Baja Regional Results - by Mike Stewart

It was a beautiful day, Mexican Independence Day, in sunny Ensenada. As usual, John Hussong did a marvelous job creating a festive atmosphere, and had decorated all of the booths. Red, white and green bunting and balloons festooned the cook-off site. The only thing missing was ICS cooks. The chief judge announced that of the 9 cooks present, only 3 were ICS members. No effort was made to recruit the additional 4 cooks from the ‘open’ competitors in order to make it a sanctioned cook-off. There was minimal, if any promotion of this fun cook-off, possibly resulting in the lack of cooks. Kathy and I decided to save our efforts for Mentone and did not participate. Well, as Chief Judge Ken Merritt said, “What happens in Baja stays in Baja.”
