/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Alright well round 4 seems to have gone off in a way that I personally didn't expect, to where almost half of the competitors didn't submit a dish for what it supposed to be the first elimination round. I guess "tea" was a lot harder of a theme then I had expected so I guess I know what I'll need to stick to for future challenges (assuming I'm around to do another one in 2019).

Well for now it seems that the current competitors are

nrrwmndd
Sakeanon
Quaff
and Tiki Doomer

One of these 4 will be on the chopping block starting tomorrow or once this thread dies. The best average scoring 3 competitors will face off with 1 last dish on Monday for the 5th and final round.

While I'm a little disappointed in how round 4 has turned out i do hope that the round victors will still submit a dish for round 5 (which will obviously be signature dish) and hopefully we see some fun stuff and I can hopefully try a bit harder to make the 2020 Challenge a bit better and more accessible assuming 4chan is still alive next year.

See y'all tomorrow.

In Round 3 challenger Bell took the top score with his Habanero, Pineapple and Rosemary Tart! In the open rounds bonus contest challenger nrrwmndd !!5q13kDmTZEt came out on top and will win a secret prize that I will send him this week! The chefs who will compete in the next round after their successful entries in the open rounds are:

Bell
nrrwmndd
quaff
Sakeanon
FPM
moose
Tiki Doomer

However, in these elimination rounds the themes will change and only the best will rise on top. To prove this point, round 4 will be an elimination round where 1 challenger will have to hang up the knife and head on home. Who will rise to the occasion and escape the chop?

And now we go to the THEME for ROUND 4!

Now as this is the /ck/ Challenge and not the Chairman Gaijin Challenge, I think that it is appropriate to take in some desires given by some of the anons in the thread. One of the popular ideas was dim sum, a small item used for Chinese brunch which in English means "heart's delight." The many dishes that make up the traditional dim sum cuisine are made to pair well with a certain ingredient that has been enjoyed since time immemorial. Countless wars and dynasties were built on this ingredient that has survived for millennia due to its unique qualities and "heartwarming" effect.

So with that being said, the ROUND THEME WILL BE…..

TEA!

For this round I would like the challengers to prepare a dish that exhibits the elements of tea in a dish! There are no restrictions to the type of dish that will be made other then that the dish must exhibit the qualities of tea and that tea be used as the primary feature of the dish!

This an ELIMINATION ROUND so we shall see 1 CHALLENGER WITH THE WORST SCORE THIS ROUND BE ELIMINATED from the competition. Best of luck to all of you and may the best chefs triumph in this battle of /ck/ing!

ALLEZ CUISINE!

Round 3 Thread >>12207392

VOTING ENDS ON MAY 10TH AT MIDNIGHT CEST

Welcome to the 2019 /ck/ Challenge!

The theme for each round is announced on the 1st Monday after the previous round's end with 2 weeks for submissions (except for this round cause some anons want to make some Easter Sunday shit so we're doing things early!). After that the voting/rating thread goes up for 3 days and everyone is welcome to vote on the submitted dishes.

Submit your dish with a timestamped picture of your creation (ideally with an available step-by-step process via an imgur gallery post or a photoshopped/GIMPed picture) with a unique totem visible in the picture (any type of object be it a dice, glassware, cloth that you'll show with your submissions for the rounds). If you would not like to submit scores then you are free to give feedback/criticism on the challengers dishes as you see fit (just don't fucking clog up the thread with autism please).

The voting will follow modified Iron Chef rules, a 20 point scale where 5 points each will go towards Presentation (how the dish looks on the plate, i.e. the plating), Originality, Appeal (how appetizing the dish looks to you) and fulfilling the Challenge Goals.

You may use this template in order to score the competitors submissions:

Presentation: /5
Originality: /5
Appeal: /5
Challenge Goals: /5
Total: /20

The round theme this time is SANDWICH!

There are no constraints on what type of sandwich to make (see the sandwich alignment chart for an idea on this) but you'll have to convince anons that it's a sandwich to win their votes.

So far we have 1 submission from Tiki Doomer and another anon who I'll need a timestamp of the dish from >>12141092 . 1 week remains in the challenge so get in the kitchen and make me a motherfucking sandwich!

And now we go to the THEME for ROUND 1!

For the opening round we begin in the month of March, the changing time from Winter to Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and Summer to Fall in the Southern hemisphere. All 4 seasons play within this month which is why I'd like to enjoy something using a food item that is found all year-round across the world regardless of season. In many places this is considered a staple food and has become an essential part of national cuisines as big as Italy and as small as Fiji. This item is the third biggest agricultural commodity in the world and to many people this item is the source of life itself.

So with that being said, the ROUND THEME WILL BE…..

RICE!

For this round I would like the challengers to prepare a dish that exhibits the liveliness of rice! There are no restrictions to the type of dish you create as long as it shows off the boundless creativity of cuisine that can be made showcasing the inherent flavour of rice!

This is an open round so anyone can submit an entry! Rounds 1-3 will all be open for new entries where your best submission will be taken into consideration for who makes it into the 4th Round! Best of luck to all of you and may the best chefs triumph in this battle of /ck/ing!

ALLEZ CUISINE!
