Okay, so today’s first Voracious Tasting ticket giveaway? It was over like that. Within minutes of being posted, a correct answer had come in and the tickets were gone.
It looks so pretty–until you translate it and realize it’s all about boobies
This time, though? This time it’s going to be different. This time, rather than simply testing your food trivia skills or ability to google really, really fast, I want you to show a little bit of creativity. I want you to open your hearts, exercise your souls and let a little beauty into your lives.
Which is why I’m having a foodie haiku contest.
What you’ll want to do is this: Go to the Voracious Tasting website here, look around at all the cool stuff that’s going to be happening tomorrow night at the Paramount, and then write a haiku about whatever it is that moves you. It can be about the food. It can be about a particular restaurant that’ll be serving up samples tomorrow night. Love you some cocktails? Gimme a quick three lines about the joys of the perfect martini. Looking forward to the chef showdown? Knock off an ode to chef Seth Caswell competing naked on stage. Bonus points for working in dirty double-entendres. Double-bonus-points for anyone who can manage to write a haiku about the Pellegrini Award. And if you really want to go for the drama, write me three lines about why you ought to be the one to win the tickets and not someone else.
So let’s get at it, shall we? Keep your little poems in traditional haiku form (details here and here) and the subject matter relating, in some way, to the Voracious Tasting event, and you’ll be golden. All entries should be posted in the comments section below, and the winner will be chosen by a panel of food and haiku experts consisting of…me.
Poets, start you engines…
And go!
