Last week’s “What The Heck Is This?” contest garnered about 50 correct responses, though I suspect only about the first 10 or so actually recognized the device as a biltong cutter. Of all the correct entries, Neuman23’s number came up in the random drawing, so congratulations to him and thanks to everyone else who entered their guesses.

I’ve also been remiss in picking a winner for the Worst Cooking Disaster contest back in April. T. Rebel and I finally got on the same page and came up with our favorite stories. There were some doozies, including DigHunter digging into some under fried chicken after some late-night shenanigans and Bowhunt3r’s tale of his brother’s attempt at making pizza dough. If you haven’t read those—or the rest of the great entries—it’s worth the time just for the laughs.

If any time of year begs for surf and turf, it’s early summer. The fish (or in this week’s case, crabs) are in season, and there’s usually still a bit of venison in the freezer from last season. Those steaks will slowly disappear as summer wanes on, so two of our readers took advantage of the larder in this week’s Food Fight with a couple wet and wild dinners.

My friends at Cabela’s were kind enough to hook me up with some goodies from their prize vault, so I decided to start a new contest called “What The Heck Is This?” From time to time, I’ll post a picture of a kitchen-, cooking- or otherwise food-and-drink related utensil and see if Wild Chef readers can guess what it is.

I know it’s the end of May, but I still have turkeys on the brain. Probably because I got schooled by them this season. Luckily, there have been several Wild Chef readers who filled their tags and have been filling my inbox with the results in the form of turkey photos and great recipes, including these two.
