The long wait is finally over my dear food lovers and Steemit chefs!
I'm so thrilled to kick start Steemit Iron Chef 2017 today as promised! I'm looking forward to the maximum participation from all those 40 awesome foodies who showed interest to join! Well I hope to see some new joining too!
What is Steemit Iron Chef ???
It is a contest which will be run each week till the end of year, and the theme will be based on a single different product each week.
The participants have to sublimate that particular product in either a starter/main/dessert!
There will be prizes for the top 3 each week .
1st prize : 12SBD
2nd prize : 8SBD
3rd prize : 5SBD
Well it does not stop here...
The Steemit Iron Chef is not just about one week participation!!!
All participants will be awarded with points on top of their weekly winning prizes :
1 point for entering a valid entry
3 points for the 3rd prize
5 points for the 2nd prize
10 points for the one coming first
All these points will be calculated on a weekly basis till the end of the year...
The one with the highest point at the end of year 2017 will be crowned Steemit Iron Chef 2017 and will hold this honor till next year!
Same as a league!
Wait... there is more SBD to be shared with you all...
Well guys , I have created another account, @steemit-ironchef (It's live and already receiving contributions!!!) acting like a donation wallet!
All the SBD received/earned will stay there till we complete the year 2017!
The total SBD up to now is actually at 53SBD and growing everyday...The minimum it will be at end of year 2017 is SBD173!!!
The one who tops the league at end of year wins 25% of the pool.
2nd place will receive 15% of the total SBD.
3rd place will receive 10% of the total SBD.
4th-10th place will receive 3% each of the total SBD.
11th-20th place will receive 1% each of the total SBD.
The remaining SBD will be used for some special awards that will be announced!
Here is the list of contestants having shown interest to join! You will notice both me and my wife @creativewoman are marked zero point as we both can't participate for this one as I will be the judge of the contest!

The product for this first week contest is...

Before anyone asks, let me clarify that you can use any variety of tomato you wish! Cherry, Beefsteak, Green Zebra, Roma, San Marzano, Black Krim, Yellow pear...and the list goes on.
As in any contest, we need to set some rules to get things going in the right direction!

- Only one entry per person is allowed.
- Make sure to use #steemit-ironchef as your first tag, so that I don't miss your entry!
- Only new recipes will be accepted, so I need at least one photo with your name and date on it.
- I don't need to see your step by step preparations/recipes, just make the list of the products used, describe your dish and add some photos to get my attention! Make it sweet and simple!!!
- Post a link of your entry here on this post and also share your entry on our discord channel - https://discord.gg/R3R26k8

- Any participant not following these simple rules will be considered a non validate entry.
- Be the most creative , inventive and refined possible, you'll win a lot of points...
Winners will be announced every Saturday!!!
How entries will be marked???
For you guys to get an idea of how I will judge the entries, here is my marking sheet that I will use for each entries!
Please note that I will be the only one judging all the entries based on my 15 years career as Chef.
This is an example of a plate I did some years back where I sublimated tomato!
I used green tomato for this one, pureed and jelly with some nice oysters!
This is just to give you an idea of what i'm looking for in your entries!
All those participating, please do follow @steemit-ironchef too, you will find most of the info there!
By participating in Steemit Iron Chef, you give me the right to use your food photos for public announcement should you be amongst the winners!
IMPORTANT NOTE
The SBD made on all my posts moving forward will be used for sponsoring the Steemit Iron Chef 2017!
Anyone wishing to grow the prizes and be a sponsor of this unique contest, please do let me know! You are most welcomed!
And last but not least, big thanks to @canadian-coconut, @donkeypong and @cryptoctopus for the amazing support given to me the last days, without you guys this contest would not start at all!
I DECLARE THE CONTEST OPEN!!!!
Good luck everyone! If you need any more info just ask me here or on the discord channel of Steemit Iron Chef!!!
Thank you!

@progressivechef
Now you have placed yourself in the limelight. Taken the leadership role and position.
It will be Steemians such as yourself that will power Steemit to the very top of the social media. And I happen to think by a wide margin.
We will all be watching with much interest in the workings of this contest.
I just know that amazing offerings will be put in front of us to see and enjoy.
Thank you for your willingness to take the time and put yourself in a leadership role. I, along with many others appreciate it.
Oh, yes. I understand. It isn't a one man show.
But nevertheless.
There you are standing tall in Steemit terms.
Francis
Isn't it great Francis?!? Look at all the fantastic skills of all the people around us. Our world is no longer small. Chef lives on an island called Mauritius. It's in the Indian Ocean, 2,000 off the southeast coast of Africa! I didn't even know Mauritius existed, let alone that it was an independent republic that is highly democratic.
Oh wow what a great compliment my friend! I really love food and always wanted to support all those original food content authors as I noticed that they were not getting recognized. When I started it was same for me, but i kept going. I fear that some may get discouraged and leave it, that's why I came with this idea of rewarding them to keep them motivated!
You are a great Steemian! This is a great concept and your constant enthusiasm is contagious!
Here's my entry for the first week:

I'm looking forward to the rest of the contest! :)
Nice touch putting a pic in with your link
Thank you! :) It's easy but effective. ;)
Yummm!! Love me some homemade ketchup!!
It is really yummy! ;)

Finally after so many days of waiting!
This is crazy. Super cool that all the points will be calculated until the end of the year.
I wish you the best of luck @progressivechef!
And so the contestants gets double chance to win some SBD, either the weekly one or hang on until end of year and be among the top 20 to win a share of the big pool!
Thanks so much for the support my friend!
I love the idea <3
Ha - This sounds like fun too! Great concept @progressivechef
Thanks so much @steemit-foodie! So glad that you like the idea and hope that you will participate too!
Definitely @progressivechef - Thank you for offering a platform for foodies to have fun and connect with each others.
let the fun begin! :)
Oh yes, it would be really great fun this contest! I've seen your entry passing by, i'll check it out soon!
Yoohoo! It all starts now! Such pressure..with those super sophisticated oysters sitting on green tomato puree and jelly!!!!!!! Now Whaaaaa?!!
I'll try not to let everyone down too badly ;)
Hahaha! That was just a teaser my friend, to motivate you guys to push the limits!
I've sent my entry too yesterday, but a non-validate one!
Exactly! I have my idea, but I'm wondering if it's fancy enough 🙈
Just do it my friend and send it. Even if it's not fancy, i'm sure it will be made with so much love and care. You know i also want to teach anyone willing to learn about how to make some great plating too through steemit iron chef with my plates. It will be great to see people progress while watching mine.
I am damn sure with some more weeks down the contest, we will find some great plating from many.
Very excited!
So due date is Thursday 7th?
Yes my friend, 4 days more to end the first week!

That's great to hear my friend, hmmm i'm looking forward to your entry, it will be something great i'm sure!
This is exciting! I recently finished watching all the Iron Chef episodes on Hulu so I'm ready to go. I'm ready go all Chef Morimoto in the kitchen.
Hahaha! You are well prepared my friend, come on bring it on mate! Hope you all will have some great fun participating!
Please check out a glimpse of an authentic Filipino cuisine in this blog. This very simple recipe is called Pork Binagoongan, a pork in sauteed "tomato" and shrimp paste. But this is my own version. The difference of mine to the traditional one is the little sweet taste, and the eggplant.

Hello my dear friend, i'm so glad that you sent an entry into the contest but i'm sad that it is not validated as you have to follow the rules of the contest! Would be great if you could check it out and participate again if you wish!
Your dish is yummy btw!
Looks like I'll be driving an hour to the market tomorrow morning.
Pick up the best tomatoes and make wonders out of them my friend!
now this is a creative and original idea for Steemit...I love it @progressivechef! Just wish I was a half-decent cook, I'll just leave it professionals like yourself
Hahaha! Even you will not be among the contestant, the support is also very important in such contest!
So happy that you liked the idea!
It's awesome that you're looking for creativity! :)
Exactly my friend, be as much creative as anyone can! Push the limits!
Looks fantastic Chef!
Thanks so much my friend! I hope you can join some day and have some fun with all the foodies out there!
I'm going to try to make the deadline on this one Chef...if I can pull it together in time. ;)

Hey @progressivechef, I just joined steemit today solely due to your iron chef challenge- what a wonderful opportunity to share my food with other steemit foodie enthusiasts. I decided to be greedy and created three different components for this week's theme, tomatoes. I hope you like it!
https://steemit.com/steemit-ironchef/@foodflaneur/steemit-iron-chef-2017-01-tomatoes-three-ways
Absolutely well done my friend! Only one advise, next time please add the proof tag on the plate before you eat it...hahahah! I'm sure it's @rootingrobert who finished your plate so quickly!
@progressivechef I stayed awake to get this up in time! Here <3

You are just a darling! Thanks so much for entering my friend! Btw I am the guest judge for Steemit Culinary Challenge this week...hahaha, I proposed the theme! Hope you can enter that one too!
Oh really? Uh oh! I actually don't know if I will be able to compete this week, I am finishing off the food I have in preparation for a fast! I would hate to miss out on this week but I can't cook while I am not eating, it would be so cruel to my tummy haha
Oh that's a shame that you'll not be here this week! I've managed to get some more amazing prizes added on as from this week!
Ya I understand, but hope to see you again soon!
Well carrots are hard for me here too, according to my farmer they have a hard time growing them for some reason! I'll be waiting for next week ;) <3
