Boogie -- you're right about the Grand Chef info, except that there are
only 21 dishes required. Seven different cultures are required, and a
soulety or illusion food is suggested, but not required. 
The candidate must personally season each dish as well.

The Grand Chef feast was created many years ago by Sir Robert Hightower,
a wonderful cook and hell-of-a-nice guy.  Since then, many others have
decided to try their hand at accomplishing this feat, and certain rules
and guidlines have been set down for it.  It is not an official order or
award, folks just do it because they want to, and are judged by others
that have gone before them and been successful.  (Yes, there have been a
few that failed.)  By all accounts, Mistress Tippereth's recent feast was
most wonderful.
