The Concept

infoHow It Works

Two teams. Each person designs and hosts their own event. Compete as individuals to earn points for your team. The losing team cooks a three-course dinner for the winners — who drink champagne and gloat.

One team. Many rivals. One shared destiny of either glory or aprons.

Wifeietnam
Forged in friendship. United in the singular goal of not having to cook.
