That's a boatload of pesto on that burger. If it was good, fresh pesto, you'd need about 1/5th of that.

Oui, that is is a tad much of the pesto
on the portobello 'shroon-burger...
but I love fresh pesto.

I have grilled portobellos a million times, but I
love the addition of the Provolone and pesto to
add additional layers of flavor.
You win my vote.

Your image is quite colorful and engaging, and placing
of the meal on the slate slab grabs the eye immediately.
I used slate in the past as a plate and it is very effective.
Well done.

Much good luck on this...

Maybe a little much pesto for eating with your mouth, but it's just right for eating with your eyes. Gorgeous photographs! The colors on the beer label are just perfect (if a little saturated) with the green pesto. Good luck with the competition!

Anyone have a source for that adorable white dish? I swear I've seen it before, but I can't remember where.
