[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 CONCLUDED! The announcement of the final round being themed after Paldean cuisine invites both excitement and puzzlement. There's a vast array of choices, after all, from the very basic to the richly traditional or complex. But the sound of sizzling olive oil and the scent of frying onions and peppers soon fill the air.[break][break]
One by one, the contestants bring their final dishes to be judged. The judges solemnly sample each dish, note down their pros and cons, and assess a score. Then, they quietly confer amongst themselves for a while.[break][break]
While they are professional and discreet, Aurelie Lefevre, who is eventually called over to hear the result, isn't nearly enough of either. "Wait! What?" the contestants hear her exclaim in a low voice. "He's... Are you sure? That doesn't... But if you say so..."[break][break]
Finally, while the contestants watch, the redhead takes a deep breath, draws herself up straight, and walks to the front of the kitchen. "Contestants!" she begins. "Thank you all so, so much for signing up and participating so enthusiastically in this contest. Really, I can't thank you all enough.[break][break]
"I always love hosting these wonderful events and seeing what everyone comes up with. And this time, you didn't disappoint! You guys are what make this contest so special and memorable every year. And I hope I can continue to keep hosting this for a few more years to come."[break][break]
Then, after skeptically side-eyeing the group of poised and unperturbed judges one last time, Aurelie continues, "Of the final dishes, the judges loved the classic seafood paella from Tempest Quinn and the amazing Catalan coca created by lam logan, as well as Elaine Highland's baked...and I hope I'm saying this right...Brazo de Gitano.[break][break]
"However, a contest doesn't just need winners for a round! It needs an overall victor! And I'm pleased to announce the most successful chef this time...and the Steel Chef of 2024...is..." She takes another deep breath, looks each contestant in the eye, and states, "Howard Slayte!"[break][break]
Triumphant music plays, and the ceiling opens to reveal a flood of descending balloons decorated with a map of all the world's regions. Aurelie shakes her head and smiles quizzically before walking toward howard slayte and handing him the Clever contest ribbon with a pat on the shoulder.[break][break]
"Second place goes to Elaine Highland, and third to bastion blythe. Congratulations to all of you for your wonderful work!"[break][break]
"And again, thank you all for being here. I hope you enjoyed your time here and the chance to test your culinary skills. And I hope you all never stop cooking, learning, and improving your skills in the kitchen and in life!"
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]
GUIDELINES HOW TO PARTICIPATE
TO PARTICIPATE, please read the following questions carefully:[break][break]
[attr="class","ynospace"] - The Steel Chef 2024 contest will feature several rounds with deadlines.
- Each round will feature a prompt to fulfill.
- Each contestant must post once per round and make a roll at the end. If you miss a round, you won't be disqualified, but your chances to win will be lower. The roll will represent the judges' opinion of the contestant's dish.
- At the end of the contest, the contestant with the highest roll total will be the winner. Therefore, please add up all your rolls at the end of each post.
- Winning the contest will give your character a Clever Pokemon Contest win.
- 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.
