Recipe: Fantasy Top Chef

Author: Chris Perrin

Okay, fantasy sports fans, have I got a game for you!!  More drama than fantasy football, more amazing than fantasy golf, it’s

Fantasy Top Chef

Okay, let me say that I am in NO way affiliated with Bravo TV, Top Chef, or any of its affiliates, nor am I encouraging gambling or anything like that (which can get you in a lot of trouble.)  I’m just a guy who hangs out with a lot of degenerate gamblers…

Fantasy Top Chef Rules

What I am advocating is that you get a group of friends together and pick chefs.  (I suggest a draft.  Draw numbers out of a hat and then go up the order and then back down.  So if you had 8 players, you go 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 then 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 to ensure fairness.)  Determine winners by either:

  1. The player with the winning chef
  2. You can do a points system

I was thinking about doing this:

  • 1 point for each Quickfire win
  • 2 points for each Elimination Challenge win

Highest point total in the end wins.

One Small Hitch

Now, Top Chef is weird since there 17 competitors so you’re going to have a few chefs left (since 17 is not divisible by anything.) If you’re doing points, that’s no big thing just leave those players undrafted.  If you’re doing pick a winner, you have a number of options.  The easiest thing to do is let players whose chefs are elimiated select from those remaining.

Just a thought.  Something fun to do!

Enjoy!

PS If other bloggers want to join in, I figure this is a great way to do a blog carnival. We blog about each other and the challenge.

    oooh – this sounds fun! And I feel better after getting your email! I’m in! I’ll do the whole thing on my food blog – food.missmanifesto.com

    the only thing is, I have to DL the episodes, so I might want some extra time. ;)

  2. Chris Perrin Says:

    Sweet. Extra time is cool. Half the time I take a day or two to watch an episode anyway. I don’t expect to be a post Nazi. That’s totally not what this about! :)

    We’re all about being groovy and just talking about food and Top Chef.

    Welcome aboard! :)
