Let it be recorded and known throughout the greater realm of New Orleans and its neighboring territories:
The Neckbreakers Group of Alcoholics Anonymous hereby issues a formal challenge to all home groups of noble spirit and hearty appetite.
On Monday, February 16, 2026 at 6:30pm, competitors shall gather for the
2026 Neckbreakers Lundi Gras Turkey Neck Cookoff
(Food 6:30pm Speaker 8:00pm)
Each group is called upon to prepare its most esteemed and time-honored Turkey Neck dish, crafted with skill, pride, and whatever magic your kitchens possess. These offerings shall be judged by the evening’s speaker, and from among them one champion shall rise, earning the distinguished title of Best Home Group in New Orleans (and, by fair claim, the World).
Sharpen your ladles, steady your pots, and prepare your necks.
The challenge has been set, and the honor of your group awaits.
