Monday Night Potluck history tells us that meats (and particularly bacon) get the job done when in matters most.
In the fourth quarter, when the chips are all on the table, throw some bacon on the table (thick cut, hickory-smoked bacon please) and you're all but guaranteed a victory.
Well, the times, they are a-changin.
Three non-meat dishes took home hardware this week, included what is believed to be the first ever podium finish for a vegan dish. Even nine desserts couldn't stop the health food craze.
Grandma Fannie's Butternut Squash Lasagna led the health charge, tallying 39 points en route to a first place finish for potluck rookie Robyn Canton. The Bro Chefs' vegan dish, Ullrs Undeniable Potatoes, took home second place with 32 points. And sugary, unhealthy dishes could not totally be shut out, as Debbie's Chocolate Eclair Cake finished third with 30 points.
