[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"] [attr="class","omgentop"]STEEL CHEF 2024 CONTEST [attr="class","omgenmid"] CONTEST ENDS AUGUST 6, 11:59 PM PST EXPOSITION
THE STEEL CHEF 2024 COOKING CONTEST IS BEING CONDUCTED IN LILYCOVE CITY, sponsored by the Iron Lady Forge run by Aurelie Lefevre. In this year's contest, all participants will be tested on their knowledge and mastery of the unique flavors, cooking techniques, and traditions of different regions. Each contestant may bring one (and only one!) Pokemon partner as an assistant.[break][break]
Judging will be performed by well-known Lilycove restaurateurs and chefs, who will assess each dish based on taste, presentation, technique, and creativity. The winner will be crowned the STEEL CHEF.[break][break]
The Iron Lady Forge will supply high-quality, hand-forged chef's knives, cleavers, paring knives, tongs, kitchen shears, and other essential culinary tools crafted from the finest steel to be used by any interested participants. All participants will be able to take home a favorite knife or utensil from the Iron Lady Forge if they choose.
INTRODUCTION WELCOME TO THE STEEL CHEF 2024 COOKING CONTEST! ALL THOSE WHO CHOSE TO SIGN UP and enter the cooking competition will be ushered into a large warehouse near the Lilycove City harbor reserved for the occasion. Those who took part in the very first Steel Chef Cooking Contest or the Bubble Tea Brewing Showdown will recognize this warehouse being used back then as well. Inside the warehouse, all contestants will be assembled within a high-ceilinged, cavernous kitchen space equipped with numerous rows of prep and cooking stations, each featuring a small card labeled with the name of a contestant.[break][break]
Once all contestants have entered the kitchen, you are greeted by a red-haired woman with an eyepatch over her right eye and a Polteageist hovering beside her: Aurelie Lefevre, the host of this contest. She performs a low, sweeping Kalosian bow with a flourish, before raising a microphone to her lips.[break][break]
"Welcome to the Steel Chef 2024 cooking contest, everyone!" she exclaims, her voice warm and friendly and her eye sparkling with enthusiasm. "It's my honor to host this contest for a second year, and I can't express enough how much I appreciate you all for signing up and wanting to participate and compete."[break][break]
She beams radiantly at you all in evident excitement. "I hope you're all looking forward to this contest as much as I am! This contest will last for four rounds, in which all of you will test your culinary skills and knowledge to create four delicious dishes for our judges to sample and evaluate.[break][break]
"Which of you will reign supreme? Who will become this year's Steel Chef?" Aurelie asks rhetorically, before breaking into a playful grin. "Let's find out! This year, instead of focusing on ingredients or themes, we're instead going to explore...regions![break][break]
"How well do you know the regions of the world? And how well do you know their cuisines? Let's embark on a culinary journey together and enjoy the results!"[break][break] She tilts her head to one side, her grin turning mischievous.[break][break]
"So, for the first round, I'm going to ask you to create your very best..."[break][break] The redhead pauses dramatically and clears her throat, creating a moment of suspense, before continuing, "Kantonese dish! I'm talking about a dish of any kind...entree, appetizer, dessert...inspired by the flavors and techniques of the Kanto region."[break][break]
A shadow crosses her face for a moment, before she shakes her head and clears her throat again. Directing a meaningful glance up at the clock mounted on the wall, Aurelie concludes, "You have one-and-a half hours to complete your dish. And your time begins...now! Allez!"
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]
