Food Haiku Winner 2007

April 28, 2007 by PDX Food Dude 3 Comments

The results are in for our 2007 food haiku contest

Poem iconThe finalists are listed below. The Winner received 27% of the votes. All of the others were popular, and ran a close race! Here is the winning haiku –

airy is the crumb
earthy, this crust of Pearl
heavenly, the smell

Please contact us about your gift certificate to Park Kitchen!

And here are the finalists per the judges. Some of the entries were eliminated because they didn’t even come close to the proper meter or 5-7-5.

feel of knife through vegetable:
a true cook’s reward

at last, no jacket

soon come the favas

Monday morning blues
gladly pay you Tuesday for
Banana sundae

I’ve swooned over meat
a burger like no other
a vegan no more

Thanks to everyone who took time to enter!
