So Rankenphile and I have been tossing around the idea for a "Iron Chef" style throwdown.
So we decided we are going to go ahead and do it. Our house is pretty damn huge, so we are fully willing to have people crash here if you decide to visit from far away.
There will be some sort of minimal prize (probably some crappy drawing of a dong saying 'YOU WIN' or something similar) chosen by everyone eating.
TIME: January 10 (Saturday), 2009. 3 pm until whenever
PLACE: Maison Derriere (aka Anjin & my house)
COST: $5 (covers all food and helps anyone cooking recoup a bit of their costs)
FEATURED CHEFS:
Neville
Rankenphile
(and some other people from our school who probably suck but want to be on this list)
Druhim
Weaver
Attending:
hawkhawk
Geek + Mrs. Geek
Hacksaw
Wombat!!(maybe)
Volyu
Thanatos
As7 + guest
If you want to attend (or to cook), let me know.
This is set.. If nobody else shows, that's fine. Anjin, Rank and I will gorge ourselves on some excellent food alone if it comes to that!

gonna post in this cool thread (and rsvp)
have the food couriered to me beforehand so I can eat them simulcast.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Also, I can't come, because I'm poor, because I'm a journeyman.
neville you are great for coming up with it
also Rank
are we deciding on any sort of rules ahead of time?
or is it just "main course, two side dishes and a dessert" sort of shit
or is it "everything you are eating contains squid farts"
up to you guys. I'm game for just pick your dish(es) to make. I plan on doing some pretty crazy shit already
I'll probably go less ambitious but shoot for something I know I can nail
fuck, I'm out of practice ever since we moved
although I did make about three gallons of ham and bean soup today
my house still smells amazing
Rank you make me so happy.
And my kitchen is pretty fucking big, let me tell you.
if only to help offset the cost and so we ain't got like just Geek and Amy and Hacksaw being all "Rank gave me my five bucks back so he gets the trophy"
definitely.
We have only 1 oven, but we have another "kitchenette" where people can do some prep.
I'd recommend doing as much prep beforehand (or just show up early to start) to make it easier on us all.
But this can and will be awesome, by golly.
And incidentally, if anyone does want to bribe me, I'm open to it. My vote is for sale!
she is drooling
It's ok. I know you're all scared of my culinary prowess. I would have destroyed all of you like the Chairman bites into a pepper.
You flew to Atlanta; fly to Seattle.
You think you all that? PROVE IT!
Yeah and sadly I'm still paying for it.
Maybe if I just start walking now, I might make it in time.
Hmmmmmm.
It would at least show off some awesome examples of what can be done with one thing and stays true to the Iron Chef mantra.
it should just be an opportunity for friends to get together and cook what they know how to cook well
neville knows how to do certain things really well, like cheesecake
why would I want to limit him to things that he doesn't do that well?
If people just want to get together and cook their hearts out, far be it for me to ever think that was a bad idea.
so restricting it by ingredient would make it very likely some of us would end up making something merely tolerable instead of quite tasty
Count me in as a probably.
