Jackpot Grits
| Origin | Winter Camp XXVI (2002) |
| The Story | At Winter Camp XXV, we held the 162 dish banquet in honor of our then lodge number. It was, as one might imagine, a pretty massive achievement. In the planning for the next event, Steve Donohue came up with the idea of Jackpot Grits. His plan was to serve grits (a Winter Camp favorite) with a variety of toppings. He reasoned that if there were eight ingredients each with a 50% chance of being used, then the Jackpot Grits would wind u with 256 possible dishes, topping the 162 dish banquet in total dishes which could be served. In practice, it's mostly used the roulette wheel in the popular "Wheel of Breakast" method. Although we mostly use sweet ingredients, there have been some savory attempts, mostly by Ethan Rein, over the years. |
