So it's not a billiards-related event, BUT The Food Obstructions II will be a fun one. AND it's at one of our favorite somewhat-tolerable Billiardsburg featured locations, The Gutter. Food and pool? Can't miss. The details -->

In 1967, Jorgen Leth made a 12 minute film, “The Perfect Human.”

In 2003, Lars von Trier challenged Leth, his mentor as a filmmaker, to remake the film with obstructions that would complicate its production. Von Trier titled the result “The Five Obstructions.”

On December 6, 2009, three Brooklyn food enthusiasts challenge their mentors and fellow culinary artists to a similar challenge, “The Food Obstructions.” Fifteen contestants will be accepted to make a dish of their own originality. In the spirit of the film, there are five obstructions to whatever type of dish they will make:

1. Must include an ingredient that is produced or grown in Brooklyn
2. Must include an ingredient that begins with the letter K
3. Cannot contain butter
4. Must include an ingredient with seeds (seeds do not have to be present in the completed dish)
5. Must contain rosemary.

The dish will be judged on:

* Taste
* Synthesis of Obstructions
* Presentation

To compete, please send an email to thefoodobstructions@gmail.com. For more information, go to: http://noteatingoutinny.com/2009/11/10/the-food-obstructions-ii-is-december-6/

The event is free for competitors, and $5 to attend.
See you there, and good luck!
