ROUND 2 OF THE STEEL CHEF 2024 COOKING CONTEST IS UNDERWAY! Throughout the cooking process, Aurelie Lefevre keeps darting curious glances at Elise Calcifet's Calyrex, despite her visible attempts to remain professional and detached. She seems fascinated in it, for reasons that are probably fairly clear to most Rockets present and perhaps a few League members as well, if any are paying attention.[break][break]
However, the savory odors and exciting processes of the participating chefs is what dominates the round, as they rack their brains while tackling the challenge of creating delicious Kantonian cuisine. As each dish is brought to the judges and evaluated, it seems that simplicity as much as skill or quality is what wins them over.[break][break]
Alba Evovae's tempura is a clear winner of the round, as the coating proves light and crunchy over fresh and perfectly chosen seafood. Laurence Anderson' omurice is pronounced "homey and comforting", while howard slayte's strange, rustic concoction of roast meat, onions, and berries on skewers surprisingly apparently contains appealing flavors and textures. Similarly, oscar clayton's understated yet classic sushi roll of cucumber, rice, and diced fish wrapped in seaweed is pronounced "delicate and refreshing."[break][break]
Unfortunately, Elaine Highland's monjayaki and lam logan's okonomiyaki don't quite fare as well. The judges smile encouragingly at both contestants after their scores are announced, offering to give suggestions and advice for future rounds if needed.[break][break]
At the front of the kitchen, Aurelie steals a piece of tempura for herself and happily munches on it, before lifting the microphone to her lips. "Well, that was fun! I always love watching people cook, and this was especially enjoyable seeing you all trying different dishes!"[break][break]
Clearing her throat, she continues, "But as they say, variety is the spice of life, so let's move to a very different region, culinarily speaking! For the second round, I want you all to give me your absolute best...Unovan dish!"[break][break]
Nodding again at the clock on the wall, the redhead continues, "Hopefully, this might be easier for some of you in some ways, if you're familiar with Unovan cuisine. But...can you elevate it? With only one-and-a-half hours to cook? Let's see!"
SETTING THE STEEL CHEF COMPETITION KITCHEN
ALL CONTESTANTS have been brought into a large warehouse near the Lilycove City harbor reserved for the occasion. Inside the warehouse, you find yourself within a high-ceilinged, cavernous kitchen space equipped with numerous rows of prep and cooking stations, one for each chef to use.[break][break]
Each prep and cook station features a gleaming stainless-steel countertop, stainless steel sink, gas stove, and electric oven. At the front of the kitchen is the presentation area, where the judges will sit together at a long table when tasting and appraising the contestants' dishes.[break][break]
A hallway to one side of the kitchen leads to the equipment room and pantry, which contain all the materials, cookware, and ingredients that contestants might need. Planter boxes line one wall of the pantry, filled with fresh herbs and greens that chefs can harvest and use in their dishes.[break][break]
The rest of the pantry is filled with shelves, refrigerators, and bins of fresh produce, meat, seafood, spices and seasonings, dairy, breads and grains, and kitchen staples (eggs, salt, sugar, flour, butter, several different types of cooking oil, cooking wine, and more) to help chefs bring their unique concoctions to life.[break][break]

- Like Shiv, I will not tolerate complaints about not being mentioned, tagged, acknowledged or feeling "useless" in a raid. Unlike Shiv, I'm arbitrary and capricious and will tag and mention people as I darn well please, including high- or low-rolling characters or characters who have the moxie to incorporate green eggs, purple shrimp, eldritch horror, or Eevee flavoring into their creations.
