Today Sun, July 6th, 9pm on Iron Chef America Chef Cimarusti vs. Chef Morimoto. No clue who’s going to win but it should be interesting.

and without a lot of flash she understands how ingredients interact, and those qualities, to me, should be elemental to an "Iron Chef". I see some of the same qualities in Chef Garces, and I can understand why he appeals to you. I...

I hate the concept of forcing the chefs to cook within one particular cuisine. Especially since that is not at all how Iron Chef America operates. So I don’t see the point of these challenges. Instead stick with secret...

O FUN! "Local NYC Chef Gabrielle Hamilton brings her down home style to Kitchen Stadium to take on Iron Chef Bobby Flay!" I don’t watch much tv – is this a repeat? I’m a little bummed that Flay is the opposition...

Has anyone noticed on Iron Chef America when Morimoto speaks in english, there’s a voiceover of someone speaking in, wait for it, english??? For some reason it really rubs me the wrong way.
