Scrobble Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Many years ago, i remarked to MrMagfest, "It would be fun to have a cooking contest at the con." Until now, the hotels have been pretty heavily against it, but this year it looks like it may be a reality, featuring MrMagfest as the chairman, and special guest judges including the voice of Duke Nukem himself. The rules and details aren't completely nailed down yet, but as of now it will consist of an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert, judged per course and then overall. Equipment will likely be restricted to a microwave, a George Foreman grill, and a blender. You will most likely be required to chat about your food with the various judges/commentators throughout the competition, which is currently planned for 1 1/2 hours in length. After talking it over, we decided that OCR/Shizz/VGMix should each nominate members to represent them in the competition. Please discuss who you think would be a good candidate to battle for the title of Magfest Iron Chef! Quote

Scrobble Posted August 21, 2009 Author Posted August 21, 2009 If you're nominating people, you should probably direct them here to read the thread After we get some amount of nominees that actually want to do it, we'll have a vote or something. Quote
Xerol Oplan Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 God, is there ANYTHING he can't do? Seriously, I'd like to know. He can't BBQ. There, I said it. (P.S. zirc you never sent me your address there's still one more wedding present.) Quote
suzumebachi Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 a microwave, a george foreman and a blender? what the hecks. i can't make ramen with any of these things! Quote
Meteo Xavier Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Son, you could make ramen with a flat rock and a hot iron. Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Haha, I'm really looking forward to seeing this... Quote
Scrobble Posted August 24, 2009 Author Posted August 24, 2009 so it seems like as of now the (serious) nominees are starla, xerol, zircon, and harmony. once there's 5 or 6 people that can confirm they're actually interested, we'll have a vote. Quote
starla Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 This sounds awesome. I want to represent ThaSauce please stealth loaf edit Quote
Power Smoothie Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 I'd like to suggest "Can the judges BBQ" as a name for this. Quote
Dyne Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 I can microwave a Hot Pocket like nobody's business. But can you microwave a Pot Hocket like nobody's business?? Quote
The Pezman Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Will it be VG-themed (cook up some Saltwater Taffy for Roxas and crew!) or just plain delicious food? Quote
Monobrow Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 if I went I challenge starla to baking battle Quote
Geoffrey Taucer Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 how 'bout some trout yogurt This made me laugh so hard. Quote
Scrobble Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 additionally i would encourage anyone interested or with ideas and such to come to irc.vgmix.com #magfest and talk to p2e/tgz about it Quote
Vilecat Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I'd like to suggest "Can the judges BBQ" as a name for this. /thumbs upWhile I really enjoy cooking and think this could be a very interesting challenge, I won't be participating in this. Either way, it'd be nice to have some more specifications. Full course or just 1 dish/plate? What about the ingredients? I'm guessing you bring your own, but will there be a place to store them and whatnot to make sure they don't get eaten? Quote
