Here we are again. It's official Spring is here for most people. And as promised comes the Throwdown. I'm gonna make this as short and sweet as possible. The theme is Greek Cuisine. I recommend thinking outside the box.  Egg must be the primary cooking vessel. 
Rules:  5 pics are allowed. Please limit to phone pics. 
#1» ingredients
#2»prep
#3»egging/cooking
#4»plated (2 pics allowed)

The throwdown starts at 1201 am ET, Monday, March 30th thru midnight ET, Sunday April 5th.
Voting begins directly after throwdown deadline and ends midnight ET Wednesday, April 8th. One vote per egger only please. 
The winner will receive one bottle of A Frame Sauce and a choice of one of three rubs (the sauce and rub are both from local companies).
I will NOT be participating. I will also only vote if it comes down to a tie breaker. 
****Please use this thread for comments, questions etc and not on the official Throwdown Thread which I will start momentarily.****

    Five allowed or 5 needed?  How about collages?  Phone pics or can we hire @Dyal_SC like Steve did?

    This is gonna be interesting. Unfortunately, I'll be in your fine state all week so I'm out. I'll will, however, be watching jealously.

    @NPHuskerFL
    Can we enter multiple cooks or are we limited to one only?

    Incidentally this is the perfect time for folks with a low post and/or cook count to begin. This should be fun for all who participate. & I say it Again "THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX". Have fun with it. I for one, am looking forward to some eggcellent posts.

    @SGH if they are incorporated into the same dish/meal I have no issue with that. Please expound on what you mean by that?

    Could I enter a lamb cook and then enter a ham as a different entry or would they need to presented at the same time in the same post?

    There are very few Greeks where I live. The neighbours are Serbian. Can I cook them?

    I think I'll be watching this one from the sidelines.  I have a busy week coming up.

    I will be watching though.  I love these throwdowns.

    Greek? As far as I can recall, the only Greek food I even know of is yogurt and I don't particularly like that! 

    I used to know a guy who owned a Greek pizza joint. Does that count? Never was sure what made it Greek pizza. Except his name was Loulakis. His pizza tasted like, you know, pizza. :)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
