Hello Hello Iron Chefs!

The time you all have been waiting for is finally here...

Yes my dearest foodies friends...I am here today to announce the opening of the 8th Round of Steemit Iron Chef 2021 Act 1!!!

It is simply amazing to see how time has been flying since we kick start this awesome cooking competition - In a blink of an eye we are already into the 2nd month of competition!

Before moving on, I would like to thank everyone who have been joining and have been regular nearly each round/week - It is only by your support that SIC has become such an important contest on the Steemit platform and I am confident it will keep on growing into bigger things with time!

So are you ready for the 8th round!???

What is Steemit Iron Chef all about!???

In a big picture, SIC is a unique type of cooking contest which will be run each week till the end of year (2 ACTS of 15 rounds each), and the theme will be based on a single different product each week, which I select and reveal on Fridays!!!

The participants have to sublimate that particular product in either a Starter or Main Course or Dessert!

Read this word again : SUBLIMATE = TURN IT INTO HIGH QUALITY / MAKE THE BEST OUT OF IT!!!

On top of weekly prizes (25 STEEM), the contestants are ranked on a league thanks to points that they get depending on their weekly results and they are eligible to get a share of the BIG REWARD POOL at the end of each ACT!

This pool is actually held in the liquid steem wallet of @steemit-ironchef!

From time to time, I exchange my SBDs earned and send back to grow that pool + contributions + donations from foodies around. Each round the pot grows bigger!

We started at 16.7 STEEM for the first round and now we are already over 130 STEEM!!!

If you need more info about SIC, kindly check my blog or send me a message on our Discord Channel or here in the comments section!

Only new recipes will be accepted, so I will need minimum one photo with your name and date on it.
I don't need to see your step by step preparations/recipes or pictures of you... just make the list of the products used, describe your dish and add some photos to get my attention!
Make it sweet and simple!!!

How entries are marked???

For you guys to get an idea of how I will judge the entries, below is the evaluation sheet that I will use for each and every participant of Steemit Iron Chef.

Please note that I will be the only one judging all the entries based on my 19 years career/experience as a professional Chef.

25 STEEM AS WEEKLY PRIZE

Below are the prizes which are distributed to the top 7 each week!

In case someone else wishes to grow the pot or contribute in a way or another, please reach out to me!

STEEMIT IRON CHEF 2021 ACT 1 LEAGUE

The total points earned each week by the contestants (see table above) will be sent on the below table to make the rankings of the Steemit Iron Chef 2021 ACT 1 League!

The one getting the most of points will top the league at the end of the First Act which comprises of 15 weeks/rounds!

The more consistent someone is in participating, the better chance to top the league!

LEAGUE RANKING AFTER ROUND 06

GRAND REWARD POOL FOR THE LEAGUE - OVER 130 STEEM ALREADY

Anyone having their name on the league...be it the on the first or the last position...can receive a portion of the Grand Reward Pool if they end in the top 50 at the end of the 15 rounds of Act 1!

The grand reward pool is saved on the @steemit-ironchef wallet(Liquid Steem) and we are already over 130 STEEM!

Each week I add some more depending on how much I am earning on my posts from my two blogs!

It would be great if everyone can send whatever amount they can to grow this pot before the end of the 15 first rounds!

FYI in 2017...the pool distributed to 20 participants was 1005 STEEM!!!

Can we break that record!? Hmmm with your support...YES!!! But with only couple of us...then NO, it will be impossible!
