Any food52 member is welcome to help us test our Editors' Pick candidates, so go call dibs on the recipe you'd like to test in the comments section below! We'd love to see some new testers in the mix. Don't forget to email us your notes (about 100 words) to [email protected] by next Tuesday at 5pm.

We'll collect your comments, decide the official list of Editors' Picks and publish your evaluation in the headnote if the recipe is selected as an Editors' Pick (with credit, of course!). And even if the recipe you test isn't chosen as an Editors' Pick, please feel free to leave your testing notes in the recipe's comments section. Constructive criticism is always encouraged!

I'm on for Spicy Beer Rita!
 
Sagegreen July 21, 2011
Yay!

So all that is left is the spicy beer rita, which looks great. Somebody has to take this. If it is still here over the weekend and you would not object to someone testing two, then I would volunteer.

congrats to all EP's and EPC's...I'm "on the wagon" this week due to some antibiotics so I can't test in time, but I'm looking forward to everyone's reviews!
