Do you consider yourself the best chef of Sapience (and beyond)? Put
your culinary skills to the test in a battle royale on the kitchen
stage! Bring your knives, your apron, and be prepared to test your
palate and your creativity both in a fierce competition among other
chefs.

The Iron Epicurean will be a periodically-held cooking contest held at
'The Epicurean Eatery'. Some of you may remember my establishment as the
former location of the Shooting Star Inn off of the Prelatorian Highway,
or more recently as "a big pile of airship wreckage." Ha! Never fear, my
eatery has been brought up to meet all modern-day standards.

Our competing chefs will need to be both creative and skillful, both in
and out of the kitchen, as the competition to win the Iron Epicurean
will not JUST involve cooking! Mwahah!

The winner is crowned Iron Epicurean, complete with a very SPECIAL
chef's hat donated by our favorite Ankyrean, Qeddwyn. It, along with the
title of Iron Epicurean, will belong to the winner for his or her term,
up until the title is up for grabs once more. Additionally, the winning
dish will go into the "Iron Epicurean Hall of Fame"... my eatery, of
course!

When will this wonderful event take place, you say? Soon! Be on the
lookout for this event to occur in approximately four months' time.

In the meantime, you can read all about the Iron Epicurean in the public
scrolls (HELP EPICUREAN).

17.3.7 Iron Epicurean

The Iron Epicurean is a periodic contest for Aetolian chefs of all ages. Anyone (not only individuals with the Cooking miniskill) can participate, provided you feel your culinary skills are up to the test. The Epicurean is held and judged by Felix, the Gourmand, with his assistant prep cooks providing a helping hand.


Location
--------

The Iron Epicurean is located at 'The Epicurean Eatery' a little ways east of North of Trees. Former Epicurean superstar dishes are available for purchase and consumption here, and it is open year-round. During the Iron Epicurean competition, non-participants will be able to view the action live from this eatery. It's a sight not to be missed!


How it Works
------------

The Iron Epicurean will be centered around a mystery theme ingredient, which will only be revealed to the competing chefs when the contest begins.

The second stage of the competition involves an ingredient challenge, which will vary with each subsequent Iron Epicurean. This could be anything from a random grab-bag, an ingredient scramble, and other mini-games and tests of skill. Be on your feet and ready for anything!

The third and final stage of the competition has the competing chefs competing to create the best single dish to submit for judging. This is done real-time, and can only involve the ingredients won in the competition! Accessory ingredients essential to the dish are exempt from this rule, provided they are not featured prominently. The winning dish will successfully combine AND feature the chef's main ingredients in a delicious gourmet experience, as judged by our resident Gourmand and his assistant prep cooks.

The winning dish will become a permanent addition to the eatery, and its creator crowned Iron Epicurean for as long as his or her term lasts. Additionally, the winner will receive the Hat of the Iron Epicurean, imbued with special Ankyrean powers suitable for a master chef!
