A few weeks ago, we announced a Blue Ribbon recipe contest to see what foodie innovations you could throw our way for Taste of Dallas. The idea was: You send us the recipes; we study them, drool profusely, and the winners get to cook live at this weekend’s Dallas Food Fest.

You didn’t disappoint. The recipes were electric and fascinating. Completely wild stuff. We had to pick a few though, and here’s how we landed:

1st Place: Habanero & Soy Glazed Pork Belly

Prepared by Thomas Archer

Will you step up to support Dallas Observer this year?

We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.

$30,000

2nd Place: Best Damn BBQ Chicken Tacos
Prepared by Amy Curry

3rd Place: La Torta Di Ricotta Di Mamma (Mom’s Italian cheese cake)
Prepared by Barbara Giacometti

At the Chef’s Stage of Taste of Dallas on Saturday, July 9th, the winners will present 10-minute culinary demos of their recipes, along with samples. Good news, right? Be sure to hit them up for their recipes. Based on their photos (after the jump), begging may be necessary.
