Then you hollar

 Although we thought it was the end it wasn't
In the end, we spent 90 dollars to enter the contest, 200 on decorations and costumes, 225 on a K rated Fire extinguisher, God only knows how many hours we worked on this, we were totally disappointed in the running of the event. The carnival experience was not there. However, Team Grilldog went there with their hearts focused on Food Fun and Friends and as a Result were rewarded when the ABC News announcer said, "Iron Chef Meets Grilldog" it doesn't get any better then that!
