    Food Haiku 2009 Winner

    By PDX Food Dude Last Update April 20, 2018 4 Comments

    Haiku FlowersHere are the winners of our Food Haiku Contest 2009

    The first prize was an easy pick this year. By an overwhelming majority, Mark is the winner of two tickets to Taste of the Nation on Monday the 27th:

    Morning coffee brews
    Melting butter on warm toast
    The furnace kicks in

    Second place was more difficult. I had to bring in extra judges to break the tie between seven entries to choose a second place (21 total judges). The runner-up and winner of a $25.00 gift certificate to Carafe Restaurant is Maria W.

    Give me some pasta
    forkfuls of love and ruin.
    The wine’s nearly gone.

    Honorable Mention also goes to Maria W:

    Farmers Market says
    “no dogs this year.” May I bring
    Spot, my truffle pig?

    Winners, please contact me asap to arrange for your prizes! Thanks to everyone who submitted entries. Thanks to Taste of the Nation for the first place prize, and Carafe Restaurant for the second place award.
