Greetings world of lovely foodies!
After a delay of nearly one month...I am finally here to kick start the 2nd Act of Steemit Iron Chef 2018! Yes friends, due to my busy schedule, I got late in launching this new season of your most favorite cooking contest...sincere apologies for this guys!
Anyway...here I am today to reveal the theme of this first round...
ARE YOU READY!???

There's no better way than to start this new season with a surprising theme...right friends!???
Hmmm have you ever made a dessert with eggplant? Or a main course with fish and chocolate? Or a banana eaten with ketchup???
This is what I call Weird food pairings!!! But...the pairing must be amazing and surprising!!!
With this unusual theme I am looking forward to discover the talent of our contestants...be as crazy as you wish and try anything you want too...but make sure the food is of high quality, eatable and the presentation perfect...
