What is Steemit Iron Chef!?

If you are new on Steemit or reading about Steemit Iron Chef for the first time and you are interested to learn more on this unique cooking contest, I invite you to read all the different pinned posts in the Steemit Iron Chef Community!

In a nutshell, Steemit Iron Chef is a cooking contest which will be run each week till the end of year(2 ACTS of 15 rounds), 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!

On top of weekly prizes, 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 at 40 STEEM!!!

GRAND REWARD POOL FOR THE LEAGUE

Anyone having their name on the league...be it the on the first or the last position...will receive a portion of the Grand Reward Pool!

The pool is saved on the @steemit-ironchef wallet(Liquid Steem) and we are already at 40 STEEM! Each week I will be adding 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!!!
