The corned beef and cabbage actually tasted pretty good, though it was definitley hard to chew the corned beef after the first pound went down. I am disappointed that I didn't get over 4 lbs. because this would have put me in the money and definitely was in reach for me, I was not at capacity when the contest ended. Not bad though, I am getting closer to feeling like I can compete and win against the top in the world.

Here is a link to very good in depth article about the contest:

After the contest I took a proud picture with the famous Virgin Mary
Grilled Cheese Sandwich purchased by Golden Palace.Net for $28,000.
After seeing the Virgin Mary up close, I am definitely a believer!
