May's "Name This Dish" Contest Winner


Charles Masters
Each month, thousands of Food Network Magazine readers submit clever names for the back page’s Name This Dish contest. Previous dishes include an egg tart (winning name: “ Breakfast in Bread”), crab-stuffed mushrooms (“ Surf ‘N Earth”) and even an over-the-top breakfast (“ Scotch on the Rocks”). In the May 2012 issue, we asked you to dream up names for bite-sized cakes (pictured above). Some of our favorites were:
Martinez, Calif.
Castle Rock, Colo.
Quincy, Ill.
But the winner, Lori Hale of Crandall, Texas, really hit the mark when she dubbed it “ Swirly Temples.” Want to take a stab at naming this month’s Patriotic Potato Salad? (It's pictured below.) If you come up with the most fun, unexpected and inventive name, you could win $500 to spend on FoodNetworkStore.com.
