Contest

Community Picks -- Meat as a Flavoring

by:
June  8, 2012

 

It's our second round of testing out our new system, where you help us pick the contest finalists! Any Food52 member is welcome to help us test our Community 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 -- remember, we're accepting up to 3 testers per recipe. If the recipe is worthy of a Community Pick, we'll publish the best headnote, so make it count! Don't forget to email us your headnote (no more than 100 words) to [email protected] by next Wednesday at 5pm (EST).

We'll collect your comments, name the finalists and official Community Picks and publish the best headnote for each Community Pick (with credit, of course!). If the recipe you test isn't chosen as a Community Pick, please feel free to leave your testing notes in the recipe's comments section. Constructive criticism is always encouraged!

Could you guys also continue to mark the ones that are still up for dibs as much as possible so potential testers know? I also just noticed a tweet to the effect that you still needed testers, and I'm happy to test another besides the one I already signed up for, but only if I know that you do in fact need more people testing. Does that even make sense? That was a convoluted sentence!

It makes sense! And it would be quite helpful.

For non-Tweeters, noting on this thread that testers are needed on particular recipes would be helpful.

Yes, CPs are still considered for finalists in the new contest format.

That's great!

I'm still confused about how exactly the finalists are chosen. Can we get some more details on that as well?

Congrats to all! Wonderful assortment of recipes (as usual.) I'm still curious to know if recipes that already have a CP are considered for finalists in new contest with the new format. Anyone?
