MORE IRON CHEF PICTURES

So It's really hard to move pictures around a blog post (it took longer than half a second to figure out so i gave up) so instead I'm just posting the other pictures in another post, ENJOY!!

IRON CHEF!!!!!

So we are the Young Single Adult advisers in our ward. And Michael came up with the great idea for one of our weekly Activities: IRON CHEF!! Just to begin with, it went fantastically.

Here's what we did:

We used a house with a larger kitchen area, and just had both teams compete in one kitchen.
We provided 5 surprise foods, all five of the foods had to be used, and at least one of the surprise foods had to be used in each of the dishes they prepared. The surprise foods this time were: Quartered Chickens (1 complete chicken each), Marshmallows, Corn Flakes, Red Potatoes, and Tortillas. (in retrospect, we feel that we underestimated our Chef's prowess and should have used a few more odd ball ingredients.

We allowed the Chefs to bring whatever foods and spices they wanted to bring.
The Chef's volunteered a few days previously, so the day of the event, they already had a few ideas. When everyone came, Each Chef chose four teamates, and the rest were judges or benchwarmers. We watched food network while we waited.

For timing, we gave both teams one hour and fifteen minutes to cook their meals. We then gave them ten minutes to put their food onto dishes and make it look good. Points were taken away if anything went over time.
It was a fantastic time.

I took a lot of video, in hopes to edit it and make it more Iron Chef-ie.

The toughest challenge turned out to be judgeing. Our chef's ended up being extremely good cooks so it was quite a challenge to decide the winner.
