Nope, no joke. Details are sketchy; the event doesn't seem to be as
well-organized as some other competitions (e.g., the Gilroy Garlic
Festival), so the recipe or even a photo isn't on their web site.

I've seen culinary oddities in the name of Caesar Salad before, some of them
perpetrated by well-respected chefs (e.g., Elizabeth Falkner and Thomas
Keller), so I'm not *too* surprised at this turn of events. It seems obvious
that "authenticity" was not one of the judging criteria!
