The Winter Wonderland Cookoff in Graham, TX, was more than just a culinary showdown; it was a festive extravaganza of lights and flavors. As our STS team embraced the holiday spirit, the sizzle of steaks and the aroma of ancillary delights filled the air. Here’s a glimpse of our remarkable performance in this seasonal cookoff.
Festive Lights and Culinary Delights
Before diving into the results, we couldn’t help but appreciate the enchanting holiday light show at Possum Hollow Camp. Thanks to the efforts of Possum Hollow Camp, the Winter Wonderland Cookoff was set against the backdrop of a mesmerizing holiday light display. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Shelly Galloway, Ken Phillips, and the Steak Cookoff Association volunteers for managing the cookoff itself. The Winter Wonderland Cookoff truly captured the magic of the season.
