What in the world a cook-off? Is that like a walk-off? A cook-off is exactly like a walk-off, except that instead of wearing stylish clothes and being really, really, really, unbelievably good-looking, it involves cooking tasty food, and trying to make the best dish.
How does it work? Each week, a magic ingredient is chosen randomly from those submitted by the teams (the bold amoung the not-bold at right). The teams must use that ingredient in a two-course meal with an optional dessert. The meals are "judged" by appearance, originality and estimated taste. See the table at right for results.
I want in. Contact one of the contestants. Please note that you must make a meal with the previous week's ingredient to make an ingredient submission.
