Holiday Traditions: Family Throwdown

Ok, we don't actually do a WWF style brawl in the living room. Its a cooking throwdown, as in a Bobby (be still my heart) Flay throwdown. Two members of the family compete head to head on the same traditional dish, adding their own special twist to make it unique. We bring in outside judges (ahem...mostly friends) and each dish is judged numerically on three different categories. The judging used to be anonymous, but I think its more fun to know who did which dish. To date, we have done meatballs, chili, chicken enchiladas and sliders. This Christmas is my favorite to date: tacos.
