[Sca-cooks] Pennsic Iron Chef Results

[Elaine Koogler]

Trial by Fire is a great competition, but, to be perfectly honest, the cooks who
compete are mostly from the Bright Hills Cooks' Guild.  Now, while they are
among the best cooks in Atlantia, it would not be truly representative of all of
Atlantia.  Doing something at Sapphire Joust would probably bring out more of
the Kingdom's premier cooks...in fact you could probably contact Baroness
Winifred of Ponte Alto for her list of those who did Twentieth Year.  Her
contact information can be found under Landed Baronage in the Acorn.

Kiri (also in Atlantia...do you need help in planning??)
