Iron Chef

Description: following the spirit of the TV show  it was a cook off challenge....another RA and i had 4 or 5 rooms from our towers cook off against each other.....we used Ichi-ban noodles for a secret ingredient....the tenants all came down to a common area....we explained the rules and gave them 2 packages of the secret ingredient......they had to use what ever food they had in their house and  bring the food back down to be judged....we gave them 1/2 hour to cook......you wouldn't believe what college students can do with ichi-ban....there was even a group that made a dessert.....

Instructions_Things_Needed

a cool secret ingredient... something quite versatile

judges willing to eat food prepared by college students :)

a video camera....go around and tape them cooking and the judging ceramony....then dub it over later....

lots of cool people who want to have some fun and good eats....

Other Considerations: Prizes....we used things that every one can always use more of....kitchen stuff....oven mitts...cheese graters....aprons...dish clothes....you get the idea......
it was an awesome event...every one had a good time

ANOTHER SUBMISSION OF A SIMILAR PROGRAM:

Battle of the Iron Chefs

Description: Iron Chef is a Japanese cooking program that is played on the food network.  Basically, a challenger challenges an iron chef (master) in a specific area of cuisine.  A mystery ingredient is unveiled, and every dish must have this item in it. 

Instructions_Things_Needed: A mystery ingredient of your choosing (keep in mind it will be in every dish & must be tasted!)
A taped episode of Iron Chef (Fridays at 9 p.m. I think on the food network). 
Have the introduction of the show played on the T.V., and play an episode throughout the social.
Have singles or teams, then unveil your secret ingredient.  Remind everyone that all dishes must have the ingredient in it.  Give them about 20 minutes to create their masterpeices, then judge them on originality, taste, and anything else you wish.  Winners can receive a prize and a certificate declaring them the Iron Chefs of the dorm.

Other Considerations: Since this is a social, it's probably best that you stick to fairly simple secret ingredients, and don't involve actual cooking.
