In fact one of my fantastic sous chefs has done nearly ALL of the work for this event, and I'll only be there for a couple of hours as someone has to mind the shop on Sunday night.
Our little project, which entails over $1400 worth of Heritage Angus ribeye, has turned out better than I had hoped and in fact will be even better by the time it hits some applewood on the char broiler.
Matt.

Here are some shots from the day.
This one is Matt R's sous chef, Gabe, that did some wonderful cold smoke steak.
Here is a crowd shot.
The band was both funny and talented. Great tunes.
Another crowd shot with the stainless vats.
All in all a great time was had by everyone. Very respectful participants. Very well run by the venue staff.
There were so many beast chefs.....you could not possibly eat something from every provider...you would explode.
Did I mention that the beer selection was out of this world? I liked the Blue Buck the best.
The pictures were taken with my my new iPhone 5. (beats packing a camera now)

The event was beyond expectations. For a first time run they really couldn't have gotten things more "right."
It was great to meet several VV'ers for the first time, too!

It was so good I walked home feeling like I would explode if I had one more bite and I would have skipped dinner entirely except I had a family birthday to attend.

That's not to say other events aren't also well organized of course, but Scott has a level of organization that makes things much easier for the vendors, such as myself.
Scheduled load-in times make it so everyone knows where to be and when, regular communication and email updates leave no surprises for either party, acute awareness of local statutes and regulations helps to ensure everyone is playing by the rules, which of course is in everyones best interests. A genuine pleasure to deal with.
Ticket buyers see a well produced, enjoyable event but often aren't aware of the months of planning and detail that go into pulling something like this off, and he is one of the best.
We had a fantastic time yesterday. We tend to bring out a different side of us than many people might expect to see at the restaurant (we do not normally use a bbq sauce fountain) and play to the crowd. I think the only complaint I heard yesterday was that the line up for free beer was too long. That's rough!
Matt.

Yeah, some salad and two bites of my mom's normally irresistible lasagna and I was pretty much done.My God, man, you had to partake in a meal after the event? I feel for you...
I can only imagine how much work this guy Scott and his crew put in. The event seemed to run like clockwork to us. Well done all around.
