Back when we started this blog, there were whispers among the cousins that we might incorporate some of the best grub we come across. And while the Collective has yet to fulfill that lofty goal, it's never too late to start. On Tuesday night, Dave and I served as judges for the most impressive cookoff either of us has ever seen. As legend has it, two of Dave's roommates, Ed and Whit, woke up Tuesday morning with one goal: to create as many dishes with chicken and/or watermelon that they could, serve them as artfully as possible, and then face the music. At 12:43, I received this text message: "Ed and Whit are having an iron chef cookoff with chicken and watermelon as the ingredients. We need another judge." At 8 p.m., Dave, their other roommate Josh and I were seated and starving. This is what we were served.
