I think for a Pass It On, I would like to see an all Chef's edition. Talk Poppy and James into it, give every one 20 minutes (maybe even 30 so they can get extra chef-y) and then watch them all bounce and pivot on each others ideas. Obviously challenge them with a tough brief, multiple courses but at some point in the cooking for each chef one of the normals comes in and tells them they must use some ingredient that they like (Jamie will probably need to pick some other than bacon). It won't have the usual delightful chaos the normals infuse into a pass it on but I would really like to see how the chefs would work trying to enact their own visions on each other's work.

[@brazilianseac]

I actually love this idea. And the chaos of the normals suddenly tossing in some random ingredients give a a good chaotic edge.

Now there's a good theme for pass it on. You can only add to the dish. You can't remove anything that someone before you has done. That includes ingredients laid out. If someone else grabbed it, you have to use it. You are only free to make changes to anything you've done (without changing what came before).
