Note: The 2010 scavenger hunt is over (a concluding post will come soon) and we got first place out of 121 teams! This is a series explaining the background and thinking of our missions of the SF Street Food Scavenger Hunt 2010!

Mission: Show us your best kitchen disaster

I had multiple ideas after asking Facebook point blank:

However, Chris and I determined that it was either unsafe (for a real photoshoot) or required too much photochopping (how do I set my hand on fire in photoshop again?)

Cynthia suggested the idea of cramming too much people in the kitchen—the idea of too many chefs in the kitchen.

This is the process that I took:

1. Study too many people in a photo booth and too many chefs in the kitchen photos.
2. Invite people over (via facebook).
3. Buy snacks.
4. Hope that inviting people for this event would surface this hunt to their consciousness.
5. Create the picture.

Although 5 people showed up, it was a fun experience with all of us ending up watching Hell’s Kitchen and Masterchef.

Along the way, we decided to make it Twinkie oriented to reflect our team’s name. We placed a Twinkie everywhere and put Toad in the picture. A Twinkie in the pan, in the blender, everywhere.

And then we finally had Jeff saute a Twinkie with everyone trying to add their own flavor to the Twinkie. Seems like Chris is the only one that got it in. Not sure what Cynthia is doing with the pineapple.
