CMH Gourmand – Eating in Columbus & Ohio

The details and developments can be found here – Pizza Grand Prix V on Columbus Underground

Wild Goose Creative teams up with Columbus Underground for round five of Pizza Grand Prix. While some events stagnate over time, Pizza Grand Prix continues to refine like a fine wine or aged cheese. Usually sequels are not as good as the original, in this case, I think each new Grand Prix is a little better than the predecessor. This edition will offer the usual assortment of the best pizzas from Columbus and beyond as well as a judged homemade pizza competition with prizes.

Our esteemed judges for the Homemade Pizza Competition are:

Jeff Aufdencamp – Mama Mimi’s Take ‘N Bake Pizza
Roland Kopecky – Columbus Pierogi King
Bethia Woolf – Hungry Woolf
Bill Yerkes – Pizza artisan from Bono Pizza

The Grand Prize winner in the homemade competition will receive a large gift tin full of goodies from Red Gold Tomatoes.

Contestants for the homemade pizza competition should contact info@wildgoosecreative.com by March 11th for additional details.

For those that would rather take instead of bake a pizza…

Think of Pizza Grand Prix as a giant pizza potluck. The price of admission is a medium pizza from your favorite pizza shop. Bring a pizza to share then spend the rest of the night trying pizzas from all over town. As a bonus, attendees can watch Dave from WeberCam (he preps for Pizza Grand Prix V here) craft pizzas from scratch with his modified Weber kettle grill. For those that missed PGP I – IV, see the links below for history and background.

Pizza Grand Prix III on Columbus Underground

I think this is among the best low cost events in town and others agree – Best Columbus Underground Event of 2009 – Pizza Grand Prix IV. I hope you have a opportunity to go. Wild Goose Creative is a great venue so this a good way to see their space and get a sense of what they do. The diversity of pizza selections can not be beat. We have had homemade pizzas at each past Pizza Grand Prix and since prizes are involved this time you can expect some phenomenal pies.

I will not be present at my own party so please post a comment if your go so I can know what I missed. I’ll be in phone contact with the Wild Goose Creative Collective and Hungry Woolf so I can hear what I am missing.
