The Main Street Heat Regional

March 27, 2010

The Main Street Heat Regional cook off in Mt Airy Maryland is fast approaching. The county Health dept is a little funny about having everyone registered 2 weeks before the cook off. That means the forms are due by March 13^th. If you are even considering going to the cook off please contact the people running the event so they can get the forms out to you. Other than that Mt Airy is a small suburb between Washington D.C. and Baltimore. There are very comfortable accommodations nearby. Also for you foodies and wine experts, there are several fantastic restaurants and vineyards nearby also. For you fans of Top Chef the winner's Restaurant VOLT is less than 25 minutes away. If you have any questions about the cook off or the area feel free to contact me. This cook off is well run and grows in size every year. This year the coordinators have secured the entire fireman's carnival grounds and cooks will be cooking under pavilions. The Falkowskis will be handling the Judging and Scorekeeping I hope to see you out there.

Thanks for your time
