Dish out all of awards, dramatically at first (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
waldorf salad
'dish' is the definition.
(Waldorf salad is an example)
'out all of awards dramatically at first' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters.
'at first' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'dramatically' is 'd'.
'all'+'of'+'awards'='allofawards'
'allofawards' is an anagram of 'waldorfsala'.
'waldorfsala'+'d'='WALDORF SALAD'
(Other definitions for waldorf salad that I've seen before include "Vegetarian dish of celery, apples, walnuts and mayonnaise" , "Mix of apples, walnuts, celery, etc" , "Apples, celery, walnuts and mayo" , "eats" .)
