For this event you will need 2 or more teams of people. Number of people per team can vary, depending on the size of the group. Each team will be given the same protein to work with and spices/sauces to use to create their meal.

Each team will elect a captain who will be the one in charge of selecting cards from different categories for their team.

The host will initially have 3 piles of cards for the teams to pick from. With cards shuffled and facing down or away from the group each captain will draw a card at random for their team from each pile. First pile will be the vegetable cards, then the starch cards. After cards have been drawn each team will be given a brainstorming session where the teams will come up with ideas of what and how to cook their meal. After the brainstorming session Captains will draw from the third pile, the action cards. Action cards can be either a benefit for the team or a hinderance to any chosen team. Captains (with the help of their team members) will either choose their benefit or which team they are going to hinder (if applicable) in the order that was originally decided in the dice roll. Let the food fight begin!

Halfway through cooking, everyone will need to pause for captains to draw a halfway card. Based on the same order as before, cards will be drawn and decisions of how to act on the cards will be made.

When time is up, each team will present their meal to the group. All groups should then sit and enjoys each others meals together. Voting will take place during that time.

Action cards: Choose and extra item from the pantry, Choose a team to use kid knives, Swap veggie with any team, Swap starch with any team, 5 min. head start, Choose a team that can only use one burner, Choose a team to incorporate a secret ingredient, Choose a team to wear a cone of shame (except while chopping)
