Tacklebox hosts second SAGA cook-off

Tacklebox Bar & Grill did it again with their second SAGA cook-off! This month’s theme was Asian Food, and the tables were laden with fabulous dishes like Shrimp Lo-Mein, Asian Pork Sliders, Chicken Spinach fritters with Mango Chutney and the ever delightful Sake, there was much to feast on.

At only $10 for a plate laden with samples of each of the dishes entered for the cook-off, one could enjoy a taste of everything. The seven entries all looked delightful, and it was certainly a hard task to pick the winner. Diners got to cast their vote for their favorite, and at the end, Laura Sutton won first place with her Asian Pork Sliders. Kevin Urbina of Tacklebox won second place with his Shrimp Lo-Mein

A raffle was also held, and winning a gift certificate for DandE’s Frozen Custard was Alex, and Orlando Baptist took the grand prize: a Blue Hole Trip.
