I was reading through all the blackhat talks and, among quite a few other very interesting ones.. This looked like it could be a cool contest for defcon 16 (that is, if it isn't already canceled).
If your too lazy to click and read the link, here's a quick synopsis:
"In the spirit of the Food Network’s cult favorite show, Iron Chef, our Chairman will reveal the surprise ingredient (the code), and then let the challenger and the ‘Iron Hacker’ face off in a frenetic security battle. The guest panel will judge the tools created and used to determine which who's hack-fu will be victorious and who will be vanquished."

Something along these lines would fit in good among the various contests at defcon. Some details would need working out but.. it could be pretty fun/funny/interesting. (possibly involve alcohol?, possibly have live screen displays in two separate rooms, random crowd help, etc).
Maybe we could have some notable faces be the "Iron Hacker" and have random people come up and:
<mortal_kombat_voice>"test their might" </mortal_kombat_voice>.
btw: wikipedia never stops suprizing me:
