Ya gotta love Jay “Ice” Piccirillo and Joanna Leone for promoting this event. Eat it and rub it on your chest!
From Jay and Joanna:
To all of the passionate, “Sauce” and “Gravy” cooks, here’s an update about the big, upcoming contest, “Sauce” vs. “Gravy”, taking place on March 5th at Circolo Sportivo in Bpt from 2pm-6pm. You must post the word “Sauce” or “Gravy” in the comment section under the flyer that’s on my page or on Jay Piccirillo‘s page. On Friday, Feb. 17th, your name will be placed into a lottery. There will be 10 “Sauce” and another 10 “Gravy” contestants selected from the lottery. Once the contestants are selected, each contestant will be notified via private Facebook message. The contestants will pay a $30 entry fee. Also, you will need to bring an 8 to 12 quart crockpot. Additional details will be given to the 10 “Sauce” and to the 10 “Gravy” contestants after the lottery drawing on Feb 17th. Any questions, call Jay Piccirillo at (203) 650-8526. I am a proud Special Guest Judge!
Add some mushrooms for some Wavy Gravy!
Amanita muscaria?
I wouldn’t dare pit my sauce against some Italian grandma’s, but I may have to walk over and sample the goods! Is it a members-only event?
Hi Brick,
I think you should enter your name into the lottery for contestants. The names of the sauce contestants (or I should also say “Gravy” contestants, will be pulled from the lottery on Friday, Feb. 17th. Everyone can enter into the lottery for the sauce or gravy contest. All you have to do is go to my Facebook page (my post about this event is on a public setting so you can see it even if you are not currently on my friend list) or go to Jay Piccirillo’s Facebook page and type in the comment section the word “Gravy” or “Sauce.” If your name is selected from the lottery, you will then be able to enter your sauce or gravy into the contest. It’s not just for my grandmother or for your grandmother, it’s for all generations! Or, if you want to skip the sauce or gravy contest, you can purchase a ticket to the pasta dinner, which includes entertainment. Tickets, as it states in the flyer, are $30 per person. A portion of the proceeds benefits St. Jude Children’s Hospital. The more the merrier and everyone in the public is welcome. However, you must purchase your ticket in advance. Call Jay at 203-650-8526. We are not selling tickets at the door that day, but the good news is we still have tickets left. They are going quickly though, so I hope to see you there!
