The Game.......

I am a Sous Chef and have worked in restaurants since 1991. A game I have played at many of those places to pass the time and exercise creativity was to pick an ingredient for the day then come up with the hottest dish you can think of and discuses them. It is fun and I still remember a couple of great plates from this game. My brother just started cooking and has taken to texting me his Secret Ingredient of the day (he loves Iron Chef) and we talk about it. This inspired me to start texting my friends the ingredient and seeing where it goes. the one rule is that the next ingredient has to start with the last letter of the previous ingredient and it is chosen by the first person with a complete dish to offer.

Feel free to comment and we'll keep this going. All of this is sent to Twitter and you can follow us here or there @DishoDaDayGame.
