The Rotary Club of Hammonton held its second annual Gravy vs. Sauce competition on Sunday, Feb. 26, 2017, at the Hammonton Fire House No. 2. Dozens of businesses and individuals served their best vegetarian and meat-based pasta dishes. For a $20 entry fee, guests enjoyed salad, dinner rolls, pasta, brownies, cake, and soft drinks. A five-judge panel awarded first, second, and third place prizes. Guests also selected People’s Choice winners.
When my mom and I entered the fire hall, a Rotary Club volunteer asked us to cast a vote on the question of the day: is it “gravy” or “sauce”? She used a pen to tally off our votes on a poster board. The “sauce” side of the board was losing the debate.
