Phase Two of the Mithril Chef contest will begin at midday once the four winners of Phase One have been announced by the judges.
At that time, the dish will be announced (and the ingredients necessary to make it will be provided including the "secret" ingedient).
Owing to the fact that the cooking portion of the contest will be concluded by one bell past midday, I do not feel this is an imposition on the people preparing the feast on Saturday night. After all, anyone who enters the Mithril Chef contest is of such exemplary character that they would automatically know to clean up after themselves. To leave the kitchen in a state of uncleanliness after they were finished would make a contestant unworthy of the title of Mithril Chef.
At this time, I am awaiting confirmation from Quan Liu about use of the kitchen in the Dragon's Claw Inn. If the Mithril Chef contestants are permitted to use the kitchen in the Dragon's Claw Inn, then that location, along with the kitchen in the Guard's barracks will be used.
With only four contestants, I do not feel that the contestants will be "tripping over each other" as it were. The judges are also Travancians of high moral character and understanding. If a contestant happens to finish their Phase Two entry first, I am sure the judges will be happy to sample the entry when it is ready. The only constraint is that all entries must be presented to the judges prior to one bell past midday.
If you have any additional questions, I shall be more than delighted to answer them.
Sincerely,
Lord Rudolf Von Kreutzdorf of Ostcliff
