Philly Cooks: Haiku Contest To Choose A Guest Judge
Posted by Jason Sheehan on January 30th, 2012
Come February 22nd, Philadelphia magazine is going to be pulling out all the stops with Philly Cooks–a full-bore food and wine event featuring the city’s best chefs, best booze and more. Before you ask, yes: There are Philly Cooks tickets on sale right now (at $75 a pop). But why shell out the green yourself when you can have a shot at not just eating for free, but joining our team of judges who will be choosing the night’s Best Entree, Best Appetizer, Best Dessert and Dish of the Year?
We have one spot open on the judging panel this year (for someone 21 or over), and all you have to do to be considered for this awesome responsibility?
Write us a poem.
A haiku, actually. Remember those from school? 17 syllables, divided into three lines of 5 syllables, 7 syllables and another 5 syllables. What could be easier? The subject for said haiku must be a restaurant review–good or bad–of any restaurant in Philly. Cleverness counts, as do both humor and seriousness. The job of judging is not one to be taken lightly, and neither is the job of haiku-reviewing. We’ll be taking submissions all week (in the comments section) and, come Friday, will announce a winner.
Oh, and for those of you who don’t win this coveted free trip to the trough, here’s the details about the event itself:

@Hahri
That’s the idea. Nicely done. Two other things I should’ve added: The name of the restaurant can be used as the title (so therefore does not need to fit into the haiku body), and you can enter as often as you like–thereby upping your odds at awesomeness.

“Vegan Girl with a Black Heart”
Black-hearted vegan
how I thought you were the one
two worlds colliding
Tough choices between
me? in search of meat to eat
but you would have none
You missed the return
Resurrection fried chicken
honey glazed sweet love
And burger battles
Village Whiskey, P & K?
Parliament. Churchill.
Grindcore House is great
Royal Tavern sloppy joes
Blackbird slices bliss
Goodbye Horizons
but Vedge has risen forefront
R.I.P. our love
Fatality came
when you refused Fed Donuts
front page NY Times
I hate on seitan
Broken hearted left alone
My meat, she won’t eat
Found a new love now
meals now filled with beef and pork
But I want your buns.
