DRAFT SHEET https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1h098ulbLaA4otv1aF_lR4KyrQuKt03Z76aL8yC3MaUw/edit?usp=sharing

Foodapalooza is a draft of random food-related categories. It uses the basic format from the four Genrepalooza song drafts--every two rounds there will be a unique set of categories selected randomly, one from each of three pools: Mains, Desserts/Drinks and Potpourri.

Drafters can only pick from the three assigned categories during each pair of rounds. Picking from the same category for both of the two rounds is allowed.  A new set of categories for the next two rounds will be announced near the turn of the preceding round.

For example, if the rolls for rounds 1 and 2 are "Lunch-sandwich", "Beverage-wine" and "Pizza topping".  Drafters would be able to draft only from these categories.  The categories are completely independent--there's no need for your two draft picks to go together in any way.

The draft will continue until each of the ten Main Course categories has been rolled once.  Mains will removed from the pool after they've been rolled three times. There are no restrictions on how often categories from the Dessert/Drinks and Potpourri pool can be rolled including the possibility of the draft ending before a category from these two pools comes up.

Draft picks should be specific as possible including brand names where appropriate.
Categories are independent so it is possible for the same food to be drafted in multiple categories

The format is simpler than it sounds and it proven to be unpredictable, fun and challenging in previous music drafts.  There's no judging except for your culinary tastes. Writeups including stories and recipes are strongly encouraged.

No, in each pair of rounds you can choose from two of the three eligible categories (or take both picks from one category).
 oh, #### - there's dice?! shoulda guess by the palooza....ima need an emotional-support animal to guide me thru, then

 
There's a standing list of nerds to @ before music drafts.  No such luck on the food side.

 
I like food.  What's the time commitment here?  One post a day fine?


We'll try to maintain a draft order for a while so everybody is familiar with the rules and to promote late entrants. But this format lends itself well to morning and afternoon picks without a set draft order.

 
I'd like to lose a few pounds, so a food draft is not a good idea for me at this time. OUT.

Last time I wasn't saying this was 2012. Definitely OUT. 

Plus, I object to the lamb category on Clarice's behalf. 

I thought if I could save just one but he was so heavy...so heavy
I didn't get more than a few miles 
Rancher was so angry he sent me to live in a Lutheran orphanage

Now that we have some real categories to talk about, it's easier to explain the rules.  For rounds 1 and 2, you can draft a main dish featuring pork OR a hot non-alcoholic beverage OR a type of raw fruit.

These can be chosen in any combination. You can take two pieces of fruit if you like.

Remember - Draft picks should be specific as possible including brand names where appropriate. Don't just draft pork chops or coffee.  There aren't many ways to make raw fruit more specific than what comes off the tree.

 
Don't let the man get you down, CIA!

Pork chop is exactly what I would have picked. "Let's see. Pork. Well, Pork chop of course."
