I don't really consider anyone here a foodie, we just a small group of people who love food and love cooking it.

As response to my Alaskan brother-from-another-mother, I thought about lowering this beyond 9, maybe 5. Three seems a little short and there might be uproar about the categories being unfair. 5-7-9 are a good number, 9 is the max I'll go. I think we should start it off and see if there is any interest in it. If it's getting boring for the peanut gallery, then put it into a lighting round.
The only rules set in stone should be judging criteria, dates/times for entries. and categories. How long we keep doing this and how many dishes to make are all up to the judges.
Personally if this stops being fun or becomes to costly (SF is filling for bankruptcy and I'm an underpaid IT guy), I say we go sudden death and then pull the plug. There is no reason in hell to do this if it's not going to be for fun (and/or bragging rights). As much as I'd like to win the contest and make SF admit he is not a mastacheff, there is a limit to my willingness to play along. If there is a toss up of buying the food for this contest and paying my phone bill, I'm going to choose phone bill.
