Do you think you got skills on the grill?! 850 ESPN Cleveland, Circle K, and Lawsons Chip Dip are giving fans the chance to show us those skills in a cook off competition against ESPN Cleveland’s Emmett Golden in September!
Fans can enter to be selected as 1 of 5 participants in the Cook Off by posting a photo of their best grilled dish with the hashtag #TNLCookOff and tagging @ESPNCleveland on Twitter, or uploading through the form below. The entry period starts on Monday, August 29th and ends on Friday, September 16th. ESPN Cleveland will select the 5 best entries to compete on the patio of our new studio in The Flats on September 29th where participants will grill steaks and create a unique side dish using Lawsons Chip Dip.
During the competition, all participants will be required to grill bone-in, ribeye steaks. The steaks, along with Lawsons Chip Dip, steak preparation tables, serving platters and serving utensils will be provided. Everything else will need to be brought by each participant from home, which includes the grills. Grills MUST be charcoal/wood-pellet. No other style grills will be allowed. Please Note: Participants will have the option to create their side dish at home or at the cook off.
Judges will determine who has the best steak and who has the best side dish through a blind taste test. The best steak will win a Circle K cooler and prize pack! The best side dish will win a prize from Lawsons Chip Dip! If Emmett wins either or both competitions, the highest scoring fan still wins the prize for that competition!
