I don't have those, they were always paper and thrown away at the end of the night. I do have the white floppy hat and my bakers cap. Maybe I'll wear my skull bandana, for shits and giggles.

Might be able get one from a kitchen I used to work in. I'll talk to someone.

It would be good if at least one of the judges is not a "foodie". (I'm not volunteering, though.)

I am prepared to accept Eden's suggestions of 1 a week and the suggested categories, and I have edited to state my preference when he has suggested two options.

1. Breakfast
2. Lunch (Light meal)
3. Dinner (Meat\Veg\Starch)
4. Dessert
5. Vegetarian
6. Soup (Hot/Cold)
7. Pizza
8. Cassaroll/One Pot Wonder
9. Lunch Box (Has to be cold and able to be backed into a lunch bag/box)

How about a low number like 3?

sets it up for a tie breaker and then the contestants can focus more on those 3 dishes.

also when they cook, they will have to cook the same thing, and the judge determines whose taste better..

I know I would be biased to choosing my bro LordEden.

I don't really consider anyone here a foodie, we just a small group of people who love food and love cooking it.

As response to my Alaskan brother-from-another-mother, I thought about lowering this beyond 9, maybe 5. Three seems a little short and there might be uproar about the categories being unfair. 5-7-9 are a good number, 9 is the max I'll go. I think we should start it off and see if there is any interest in it. If it's getting boring for the peanut gallery, then put it into a lighting round.

The only rules set in stone should be judging criteria, dates/times for entries. and categories. How long we keep doing this and how many dishes to make are all up to the judges.

Personally if this stops being fun or becomes to costly (SF is filling for bankruptcy and I'm an underpaid IT guy), I say we go sudden death and then pull the plug. There is no reason in hell to do this if it's not going to be for fun (and/or bragging rights). As much as I'd like to win the contest and make SF admit he is not a mastacheff, there is a limit to my willingness to play along. If there is a toss up of buying the food for this contest and paying my phone bill, I'm going to choose phone bill.

so is this thing going to happen or not?

That was the exact post I was going to make today. I think it's going to be the week after next as SF has court all this week about his pending legal matters. I do believe it will start Monday morning and we will post a recipe by that weekend.

Are we going down the list as SF and I posted or what? We going to mix up the catagories, draw them out of a hat, or go straight down the list?

i think 9 is too much, so its either 5 or 7.

there isnt much difference between 5 and 7 and probably wont make much difference in the whole scheme of things anyways, so i think 5 should do it.

i'd personally get bored after 3, but can hold on till 5. after that i've already tuned out.

I agree with dlish. Five is plenty.

Fucking start cooking already!

^this

but also please post the recipes, i need to add more variety to my diet besides ramen and riceballs

I feel like you guys need your own Padma Lakshmi.

I feel the same way, but I understand that SF has court this week and doesn't feel like starting this during that time.

I would be down for lowering the catagories, if all the judges and SF agrees that's it ok.

I'll most likely post more recipes in a thread I'll be starting after/during the contest. I've needed a kick in the ass to start blogging about and writing down recipes. This is going to be my kick start to do my vblogging and recipe writing.

This little contest will only last as long as it is interesting. Less it become the Tilted Debate of tilted food.

I just found this thread, and if I didn't hate vegetables so much I would be a judge. I really enjoy cooking, and my family always wants me to cook for them every time I possibly can.

Hope this happens!

First off... SF, you're not a Masterchef just because you say you are. So stop. Please. Cause really, that term is well, bullshit. And saying it any chance you get makes you sound like a tosser.

Eden, you know you're a good cook. And I'm sure SF is too. Now just because you came up with a recipe doesn't mean the judge is going to be able to repeat your success with it. I can turn a piece of shit recipe into a great dish... simple with my knowledge of food. Just because I tell you how to cook something doesn't mean you can actually do it the same way I do. There are too many different factors to think about here. Altitude being a main one in my world... living a mile above sea level and all. Humidity. Gas v Electric stove. Available ingredients. Skill of the judge. Cause really, if I cook it. It's gonna be awesome. If my girlfriend cooks it. It's gonna suck. No matter what the recipe is.


I don't see this working.

So... I'm not sure what happened to SF but I'd still like to do this in some shape or form. If SF doesn't respond to this thread in the new few days, then I'll start posting recipes myself in my own thread in the order of categories I have listed before.

Hopefully I'll setup my camera today to take video/pictures of my progress as I go. I'll be cross-posting the recipes/vblogs here and my blog. If I can get away with it, I'll post a link to my blog. If I can't, I'll pass the link around via my user sig and/or PM (depending on mods allowing me to post it).

I didn't really think this would get off the ground, but I hoped it would. I was going to start posting recipes off the bat, but I wanted to see if SF would come around to post against me.

This thread is dead, unless we wanted to make this an open call for recipes. Keep the categories and take away the judges, just make it a popular vote for best recipe. That would be kinda cool.

Let me know what you think folks, let me turn this into my side project or make it an open challenge?

Also, WK was right, I don't see it working like we laid it out. Great idea, not really feasible via the net.

Let's give SF a few days. He's got drama, some of it TFP related.

That's find by me, if he still wants to, I'm down.

If he wants to start it next monday, I'm ok with that. If this actually gets of the ground, then I'm going to be a happy camper.

I hope it does. Even if it doesn't work perfectly, it will still be an interesting experiment, and it has a bunch of people responding and interested.

so its starting this coming up monday?

if SF doesnt step up, is anyone else ready to take up the challenge?

i guess thats one option.

I didn't care for the Star Wars prequels. :expressionless:

If SF is unable, I will carry his flag.

I'd be down for another challenger, I think that could be fun.

Do we still need judges for it? We could just make a poll for it and go that way, less work on others.

I mainly wanted judges so SF couldn't wiggle out of a loss.

Ah geez... Do I gotta step up and kick everyone's ass?

WK vs. LE! GO!

Is this going to turn into Iron Chef: TFP?

We'd have to rebrand it to: Tilted Chef

ok if SF doesnt want to carry on with this, its fine...we'll send him a PM to see if he is still interested.

IF thats the case,i think some sort of knockout competition from a pool of 6 contestants would be pretty interesting instead of having 5, 7 or 9 dishes by the same two chefs.

feel free to shoot this down. im only thinking out aloud

Ooooooooooooooo, March Madness TFP Cookoff style.

Have showdowns and random categories, winner takes on the winner from the next bracket.

Think we can get enough people together to do it?

That would be AWESOME.

PS: I'd take WK down in a heartbeat. Period. Yeah I said it, WHAT?!?!

well we have you, Will and WK so far. it could even work if SF wanted to join in, in another format.

I'd take someone on.

I think I agree with Cinn that this may be the craziest thing to be done on TFP, but I'd love to watch the outcome anyway.

*Subscribes to thread*

OK, if it's not obvious to everyone, Strange Famous isn't coming back anytime soon. Honestly, I can't say that I blame him based on how he was treated by some folks that aren't participating in this thread elsewhere at TFP. So if you've posted here, you're not an asshole. If you haven't, you might be. And I'll just state for the record that I'm not really cool with what went down.

That means that we'll switch gears here. There seem to be a number of willing participants, including the ever-elusive World's King. So, should we do one mass contest with multiple contestants or should we pair off? I've got names of 4 (maybe 5) judges, so we need to be respectful of their time.

Depending on the responses, the thread title will most likely get altered in the near future.

WK, why are you wasting your time in here? You know I can out cook your hipster ass with one hand tied behind my back. Go make me a latte, extra foam, soy-milk.

I am completely down for any changes we have to make for this to happen. I *REALLY* wanted to lay the culinary smackdown on SF so I could make him admit to being wrong (something that hasn't happened in the history of TFP), but I'm good with a different set of challengers.

*****

No matter what happens, I want a Iron Chef throwdown with WK. In person with a buttload of TFPers as judges. Tilted Iron Chef Denver meetup. IT WOULD BE AWESOME. Cooking with WK with TFPers as our guests would make me so fucking happy.

Well, that may happen... But it'll be Tilted IronChef Florida...


Yes... I'm moving to Florida.

But I don't wanna threadjack so I'll leave that for another discussion.

so... it isnt happening?

zomgzomgzomgzomgzomgzomg....


Uh... I'll be a recipe-tester, if any are still needed, by the way.

In terms of whether it is happening, the original challenge is not.

Since the other guy has the feelings about me he expressed in another thread, I'm not really sure why it ever got to the stage it, but I have limits to the degree I am prepared to be embarassed. I never really expected to be better at cooking than someone who's worked as a chef... but to me with all the other stuff it crossed the line from good natured banter to bad natured.

Welcome back SF, didn't think to see you around these parts again.

SF, I'm going to try and phrase this so you don't think I'm trying to be a dick to you.

First off, I was never a chef and never claimed to be. I worked in a lot of restaurants for the last few years, but I stated that before the challenge was issued.

What I said in the other thread is true, but I still want to do this. The reason I wanted to do this was stated in this thread. You made a statement, I issued a challenge and you accepted it. Did I want to win? Yes, but who wouldn't want to win.

No one insulted you in this thread that I know of. Hell, I only made one statement about me winning and never insulted you about it.

I do want you to participate in this, even if it's the multi-cook challenge that we have been talking about. This thread generated a lot of response from the forum and I'd love for it to go on.

Im not going to really get into it, and I think it is best to leave this thread to launch whatever thing you want to do.

But... In the other thread, you came up with this:

As well as the other stuff about me being the only person you personally disliked on the site, etc...

Thats quite strong terms to speak to someone in really, you cant really think I'll just be up for carrying on and having a joke about who's the best cook,etc... as I said, my whole challenge was made in a way I felt was good natured, I thought it would be fun. After the other thread, I dont really feel like that's on the cards now.

You know, if somone calls you a cunt in the street, you wouldnt stand for it, would you? If someone says it online, you arent exactly going to be inclined to be mates. The embarassing thing for me about it was that from your persona on the forum I always did quite like you, so the stuff you came out with and the reasons (like I make silly comments about fighting dogs, etc) was a bit of a surprise. You're entitled to your own feelings, but come on, dont treat me like I'm completely thick... I'm not going to still want to have a pizza cooking competition now, am I?

I hope this is the last we have to talk about the whole thing, because I dont want it to become a thread about me being upset or whether or not I am a troll, etc... since we already have one and this is supposed to just be about cooking, and by all means enjoy your cooking competition with the others.
