Iron Chef America! | ![]() |
Via blogcritics, I see that Alton Brown, my favorite celebrity chef-type-person will be part of a series of “Iron Chef America” specials filming soon to air on the Food Network.
SWEET.
Do be aware that this new version of Iron Chef is the real deal, including Masaharu Morimoto and Hiroyuki Sakai from the original series versus such American high-profile chefs as Bobby Flay (winner of the infamous Spiny Lobster battle), Wolfgang Puck, and Mario Batali. As such, it has NOTHING to do with the disastrous UPN version of Iron Chef which featured second-rank celeb chefs like Todd English (nothing wrong with his food… he’s just no Chen Kenichi) and William Shatner as the Chairman.
