The next "courses" were Roasted Garlic and Fried Garlic Chips.
The garlic chips were very good - they'd maybe even kick Bobby Fray's butt if he threw down on me! We came to the conclusion we could eat the whole 3 pounds of garlic as garlic chips, with lots of booze, of course!

To add further to the health impact of this endeavor, we needed a veggie. What better way to celebrate a garlic veggie than cook it up with green beans!

Guess what the first course was? I'll give you a hint... a cocktail.
Garlic Martinis! Garlic infused vodka, with a waive of the vermouth cork and garnished with two cloves of garlic. Tasteeeee!

What garlic challenge would not be complete without garlic fries! Made famous by Gordon Beirsch and served at PAC BELL PARK (yes, I will forever call it that)... fries with tons of crushed garlic on them is the ticket.
