My apologies to those outside of Montreal for taunting you with an event like this but, those who live in this great city should head over to Santropol Roulant‘s Iron Chef Cook-Off tomorrow (Thursday) night.

From their Facebook page:

Come join us for Santropol’s first ever Iron Chef cook-off! The event will take place on Thursday September 2nd from 5 – 10 in our garden space on McGill campus. Six teams representing local restaurants, such as Fuchsia, Crudessence, Lola Rosa and Serafim, will be given 1 hour to select food freshly from our garden. Then, with the help of only very basic materials: knife, cutting board, oil, salt and pepper, one grain, and one special ingredient– each group will cook up a menu on the spot for our panel of illustrious judges.

And a description from Maisonneuve:

The Iron Chef Cook-Off is a fundraiser that pits several great local restaurants against each other in good-humoured competition.[...]The event is free (it will take place right in the McGill campus garden), beer and food is cheap, and the mighty Pat Jordache will supply late-summer jams. Please do come and watch me eat.
