If you've ever seen the show Iron Chef, or Iron Chef America you will know what I am talking about.

You are presented with a limited time frame, a certain theme, wether it be one singular food, or a group of foods, and you cook your butt off.

We could translate this idea to the forums, here's how:
- We will collectively (for this first time) pick an ingredient or theme we'd like to try
- We will set a time limit of a week or two so we all have ample time to cook and take pictures of our meals
- Like with all Iron Chef's, it needs to be a 3 course dinner: Appetizer, Main, Dessert (And a drink or something to add to it if you'd like), but depending on what people want, we could start with doing only a single dish dinner to start.

Meals will be judged by:
- Look .. Plating is a very important skill in the culinary world.
- Does it look like it would taste good? Unfortunately, you cannot taste pasta over the internet! But, when you go on a recipe site and you see that delicious chicken roasted potato recipe you know it will taste good.

What do you guys think? I don't think we have any pro's here on GW so I think it'd be fun to get some amateur guys in here. Additionally, if this goes well we could probably offer real culinary-based prizes!

Let's hear what you dudes think

If I have the time and money when this goes down, I'll consider doing it. It'll really depend on the choice of ingredient for me though. I don't eat red meat, so obviously I'm not going to enter if the ingredient is BEEF or something like that.

I like the idea of the three courses like Iron Chef (Sakai is the best). Along with this, I think it would be better with a more unique or versatile ingredient. It would be more interesting to me to see how someone handles something random (but not Iron Chef level crazy) like cabbage, or something that everyone knows what it is, but may not use it everyday. If it is something like beef, or chicken, it won't be as interesting to me, because everyone knows how to cook beef or chicken and it will just really boil down to which looks better, rather than who took the more unique approach with the ingredient. Since we can't judge on taste, I think approach should be more of what entries are scored on, followed by appearance, rather than the other way around.

Instead of being completely based on looks we could have something regional for this. Anyone who lives in the same city who would like to challenge someone else that would probably work and we could also put reviews, pics, and scores up here.

As cool as it would be to have a LOCAL competition it would be kind of hard as most GW'ers are pretty spaced out, and the ones that actually live in my city are afraid to come out of hiding

It's funny how we doubt there are any professionals here..

I am no professional, but if I were to enter.. I'd make something I've done near
20 times in the past year.. A toasted peanut butter sandwich with scrambled eggs,
pepper, and cinnamon all combined into one. I'd add in some of those spicy barbecue
wavy lays, but that'd be borderline disqualifying since it wouldn't be a real 'base ingredient'
food source.

I'd post a picture, but I'd have to make it, and then I'd have to sneak the camera from
my father and upload it through his computer.
