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!

@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:

Thank you! :) It's easy but effective. ;)
Yummm!! Love me some homemade ketchup!!
It is really yummy! ;)

It's awesome that you're looking for creativity! :)
Exactly my friend, be as much creative as anyone can! Push the limits!
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!
