Why are we stuck at Paradise Canyon? The OTR used to be fun when it moved around. Now it is in a rut. Paradise Canyon is OK but to me it is incredibly boring after the tenth time. I recall the first one where I and a few other cooked at Luckenbach. Then a lot of places all over Central Texas. Now it is stuck, dead in the water.
OK I was chief cook for 20 years and has a myriad of volunteer people who were involved in cooking. We had a rule for our volunteer cooks and there were about 35 or 40 of them. The rule was cook what you want but cook, but enough. Enough was a nebulous figure. We had tons of corn on the cob from the valley. Fish from Galveston, A roast pig, brisket, beef clod, chicken, turkey, hot links from Fredericksburg, bean salad, fruit salad, salad salad, black beans, refried beans, tortillas, pie, cake, cookies, a million brownies, chicken, Hatch chilis, gazpacho. all manner of stuff, we once had quail, and the people gobbled it up. All prepared by THE CAVER COOKS for the fun of cooking it. That tradition has died it would seem. Maybe caver don't cook anymore? Not sure why but the old cooks never got any new cooks to volunteer to take the reins. Maybe there was a great loss in cooking ability. I hate to say this but I haven't eaten the meal at OTR is four years. I am not sure why because I pay for it, but the last one just didn't meet my expectations. I apologize to those who worked so hard and long but what is, is and I am a dyed in the wool food Nazi. We didn't need a food trailer to cook in we just built fires and got after it.
