Wisenheimers.
Yes, you.
Don’t get us wrong. We like that sassy, snarky, sometimes even slightly snide sense of humor about you. A lot. So much, in fact, that we’re giving you the chance to strut your stuff in our first-ever Leite’s Culinaria caption contest.
Here’s how it works
Share with us your inimitable, incorrigible, irreverent way of seeing the world in a proposed caption for the photo above. Just type your caption, accompanied by your first and last name, in the comment box at the bottom of this page sometime before 11:59 p.m. ET on next Monday, February 4, 2013. Then check back with us the following day—that’s Tuesday, February 5—when we announce the three finalists, chosen by yours truly, the editors of Leite’s Culinaria. And here comes the best part—wait for it!—your chance to vote. That’s right, we’re relying on you to let us know which caption literally has you LOL, ROTFL, SOL (Snorting Out Loud), or GOL (Guffawing Out Loud). Come back as often as you like, whether to check out the competition or just to get a chuckle, but vote for one of the finalists only once. The winning caption will be announced on Monday, February 11, 2013 and will earn its creator not only the respect of all of us at Leite’s, but also a $100 American Express Gift Card.
Good luck, wisenheimers.
Read the contest’s full rules and restrictions.
And The Winner Is…
It was a tough decision, but we have to hand it—and by “it” we mean a $100 American Express Gift Card—to Charles Pearl for his witty caption: “Okay Sam gave up his pants for the bread, now who is going to get the cheese?” Congratulations, Charles, and many thanks to all.

Just voted! I’ve been swamped, but have been meaning to tell you all how fabulous the caption contest is. I love it when those brilliant ideas behind the LC curtain become reality. Kudos, team. The much-needed chuckle (ok, guffaw) in the middle of the day is but one thing I will always love about you.
Hi Allison- so great to “see” you. Can’t wait to see who wins!
=========== Folks, the entering of captions is over. And now comes the fun part: voting! So cast your vote for your favorite. ============
I said we were breaking bad today, Paulie. Not bread. Bad. We didn’t trigger the fire alarm at school so we could spend the day communing over a tasty sourdough loaf.
Does anybody here know the Muffin Man?
I still like yours the best!
I gotta wonder about you sometimes, Paolo. You may fold under questioning. I’m not mad, I’m proud of you. You learned two great things in your life. Look at me, never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut…capisce?
