They need to rework the whole iron chef. Get all new IC and get judges that know what the hell they are talking about. This can easily be the best food show but food network has to ruin everything. Next Iron Chef is a great show...

I have seen articles that a new Iron Chef will be added. And one article sounded as if it would be a reality series. I can’t find anything on Food network site about this. Does anyone know if it will be a TV show/series....

Well... Maybe I’ll have to put FN back into my favorites on the remote. Real chefs! Oh my gosh, what a concept! Maybe there’s a brain cell or two still kicking over at FN that survived bobbing up and down watching De...

Apparently FN is adding another Chef to the stable of four that they already have. Of course they turned it into one of the reality TV challenges. Michael Ruhlman was asked to be a judge and he blogs about the initial info on the...

I am looking forward to this show coming in October – seems like a really good idea. My guess is that the winner will replace Batali but thats neither here nor there... Does anyone know any of the list of contestants or even...

I was not intending to watch yet another of these “reality” cooking shows, but I am now watching the Next Iron Chef and it is a pleasure to watch real chefs, even if they are asked to do more stunts than serious...

Hope this link works....not sure if I should have posted this on the Tv and Media board. http://www.endlesssimmer.com/2009/07/31/nextironchef-roster-announced-immediately-followed-by-a-tvff-panic-attack/

In the first "Next Iron Chef" they started out with four white men out of eight contestants, and only one of them got eliminated before the last of the non-white and female chefs had been tossed.

This last weekend I went to a cooking demo that Micheal Symon was giving here in Detroit. One thing that he mentioned was that they are going to add another Iron Chef. They already have the eight chefs picked (All new chefs this...

Other than the duplication of Top chef (I’m just going to give it to them that it was in production the same time and they didn’t know), not a bad episode. Nice that it was 3 courses. Sorry because I know many of you...

It was a fitting challenge for a semi-final! The theme was integrity and all the chefs had to cook a 5 course meal called Kaiseki. The meal had to reflect the chef’s personality, his experiences and what inspired him. Equal...

it a bit much. I assumed that the food was salty on purpose, but I think I’ve found a different reason. Have people been watching the Next Iron Chef? I mean, my god that guy sweats! He looks like Tra Thomas at the Eagles'...

Very happy to see both Appleman eliminated and Mehta not declared the winner. Apparently snapper prepared like southern American fried catfish with a side of sneering iness isn’t enough to be the next Iron Chef. This was an...

OMG. Amanda Freitag is eliminated! So much for the conspiracy theories about Chef Freitag being pre-selected! I didn’t think that Chef Mehta really had better dishes, but of course, I didn’t taste the dishes.
