At regular intervals of at least one year, the Ready, Steady, Chuck! Champion is determined at the Ready, Steady, Chuck! Challenge, usually held in the summer in Bangor, North Wales. At the Challenge celebrity chefs compete to win the coveted Golden Bowl. When Ready, Steady, Chuck! began in 1999, it was intended that the Challenge should be held annually. Unfortunately that doesn't always happen. Well, we do our best.
1st World Ready, Steady, Chuck! Challenge took place in Bangor, North Wales - Winner: Chef Andy
No challenge, because of insufficient celebrity chef volunteers
No challenge, because of general apathy, or else we were too apathetic to remember it (but there are other theories)
2nd World Ready, Steady, Chuck! Challenge took place in Bangor, North Wales - Winner: Chef Bruce
No challenge, because of a general lack of organisational skills
No challenge, because we completely forgot that Morrisons would be shut on Sunday afternoon
3rd World Ready, Steady, Chuck! Challenge took place in Bangor, North Wales - No Winner
4th World Ready, Steady, Chuck! Challenge took place in Bangor, North Wales - Winner: Chef Kath
No challenge, because nobody who was actually available at the time got off their arse to do anything about it
5th World Ready, Steady, Chuck! Challenge took place in Bangor, North Wales - Winner: Chef Al
6th World Ready, Steady, Chuck! Challenge took place in Bangor, North Wales - No Winner
7th World Ready, Steady, Chuck! Challenge took place in Bangor, North Wales - Winner: Chef Al
8th World Ready, Steady, Chuck! Challenge took place in Bangor, North Wales - Winner: Chef Andrew
9th World Ready, Steady, Chuck! Challenge took place in Bangor, North Wales - Winner: Chef Andrew
No challenge, because there just wasn't enough time that year. Or perhaps the chefs were still recovering from the experience in 2012.
10th World Ready, Steady, Chuck! Challenge took place in Bangor, North Wales - Winner: Chef Kath
No challenge, because Chef Al could only rustle up two other chefs and didn't think that was strong enough competition. That's what he says, anyway.
12th World Ready, Steady, Chuck! Challenge took place in Bangor, North Wales, using the standard rules - Winner: Chef Andy
The 13th World Ready, Steady, Chuck! Challenge (unlucky for some) is scheduled to take place in August 2018 in Bangor, North Wales. Probably. At least, it will if people can fire up enough enthusiasm. Well, we've done fairly well so far, so you never know.
