??? The Allentown Fair opens tonight, and that means I'll be judging chocolate cakes again in the Pennsylvania Preferred Chocolate Cake contest. This is one of these gigs that makes everyone envious, but I can tell you that tasting a couple of dozen chocolate cakes is more grueling than it sounds.
??? ?? Invariably, I end up staggering out of there in no shape to do my real work of the evening -- trudging around the fairgrounds on Preview Night to investigate the freak shows, dunk tank and other attractions, not to mention eating my traditional Vince's cheesesteak. Chocolate shock is not conducive to a lot of walking.????? I'm actually in that file photo above. You can see the back of my Hawaian shirt and my bald spot right behind the red-haired judge. (One of my fellow judges, WLEV radio personality Laura St. James, also posted an enticing photo from one of the past contests. You can see it here.)
????? I know people envy us for this job, because the contest always draws a mob of freeloaders waiting for the samples at the end. I don't blame them. If I only had to eat one piece of chocolate cake, I'd be out there, too. But it is possible to have too much of a good thing.
???? Actually, I'm on a food judging roll. I was one of the judges for Sunday afternoon's ArtsQuest Appetizer Bowl at SteelStacks, and I'll be judging peach desserts Saturday evening at the fair. It's tough work, but someone has to do it.
