We are starting a family Iron Chef night. 

Our first night is going to be at Meghan & Wes's house.

Craig picked the first main ingredient.

"Bacon"

Our first night is with 

Meghan & Wes. 

Craig 

Julie & Joel 

Sami & Tino 

Teri & Denny

This is going to be another fun thing that our family does together. 

The way this works is most of the time there are 4 couples or 4 groups of people.
Each group is assigned a course.
The person that's house the dinner is at gets to pick the
 main ingredient and they get the main course.
The four courses are
Appetizers
Soup & Salad
Main course
&
Dessert.
Each course has 2 dishes in it, and everything has to include the
main ingredient in some way or another.
Also each course has a cocktail with it that also has to include the main ingredient.
It is a blast to see what each couple or group comes up with.
Really the only rule with ours is you can't try the dish ahead of time,
so if it is good or bad everyone gets to enjoy it.
