Hi and welcome to the OMD Top Iron Master Chef competition. We are your hosts and judges @PDM@Meowkins and we look forward to you joining us each episode where we find OMD’s NEXT TOP IRON MASTER CHEF!
Drawing from all previous reality tv cooking shows - with a dash of the just darn lovely spirit of The Great British Bake Off and none that awful Gordan Ramsey man - we will narrow down our contestants until a winner is crowned. They may even get awarded a badge! (Disclaimer: I have no authorisation to give out badges).
So here are the rules:
2 Judges sometimes with a guest judge
8 (or however many people want to play) contestants.
1 Mystery Ingredient that must feature in each dish
2 rounds per episode - main round where all cook. Elimination round where two weakest dishes battle it out.
Contestants can ‘sit out a round’ or two if life is too busy to be fucked with this nonsense but they still want to be a part of it.
Due to the constraints of this all dishes are virtually cooked, with each contestant providing a back story to their dish and their vision and inspiration (bonus points if it is deeply meaningful and is from the old country/how mama used to make it). A recipe should be provided.
Photos are optional.
Now accepting nominations for contestants!
DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE OMD’s TOP IRON MASTER CHEF???
… work is effed for next 2 weeks so I reserve flaking rights.
ETA clarification the dish doesn’t actually have to be cooked, correct? I will totally use this for dinner inspiration but not if… Well if I don’t wanna…
Given how flaky Nori (it was his fault not mine! ) was on the Cat Island Circle, I will be in the audience/willing to be a guest judge if it is helpful
