Good Food's 2024 Pie Contest: Judges
How does judging work? We assign each judge to a category. Categories with more entries (looking at you, apple) typically get more judges. At the end of the day, the judges wrestle in Jell-O to decide the ultimate winner. Everything except the previous sentence is true.
