Test your culinary skills against other OCC “would be, think they are” chefs and personalities; see who can actually create something edible. This “down and dirty”, “no holds barred”, one of a kind contest will premier Tuesday, January 12th in the OCC lounge.

Oakwood’s first Iron Chef will be crowned on February 23rd. All members who think they have cooking skills, however delusional that may be, are eligible to compete. However, the Club will not be held responsible for any consequent embarrassment or retribution that may occur.

Each Tuesday’s challenge will feature a specific gastronomic theme with  each competing chef required to prepare at least one dish characteristic of the featured genre of cooking. The dishes will be made available to members happening to be in the lounge on a given Tuesday evening. Dishes may be prepared in a place of the competitor’s choice; home kitchen, hood of a Jeep, ….. whatever works! All ingredients except those with psychotropic qualities may be employed.

Each chef may prepare side dishes but will be judged on one featured dish. Dishes will be judged by members in attendance with each chef being awarded points on the basis of taste, originality, and presentation. There will be no grievance procedure or instant replay. The three highest scoring dishes on a given Tuesday will be designated Best Dish, Runner-up and Honorable Mention but all points accumulated by each chef will carried forward throughout the competition.

The six chefs with the highest point totals after the February 16th competition will compete on February 23rd for the coveted title of OCC Iron Chef! In order to be crowned “Iron Chef” you must participate in a minimum of three competitions. Sign up now - space is limited.
