Cook-Off BUT We Can Only Use Primitive Tools & Ingredients

Summary

Two teams compete in a primitive cook-off, tasked with preparing meals using only basic natural tools, a fire, and limited resources. They must build their own cooking stations, craft utensils from wood, and manage their fires to successfully prepare their dishes before presenting them to be judged.
