Show Summary

EDIT

In Iron Chef America, another in the series of "Iron Chef" shows, chefs from all across the country and even the world do battle with four Iron Chefs, Mario Batali, Bobby Flay, returning Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto (from the original series) and their newest Iron chef, and the first ever female Iron Chef, Cat Cora. Mark Dacascos is the new "Chairman" for this show (portrayed as the nephew of the original Chairman Kaga). Alton Brown (Good Eats) provides commentary during the battle, with Kevin Brauch (The Thirsty Traveller) doing reporting on-the-scene updates. Whose cuisine will reign supreme?

It is ENTERTAINMENT, folks!

To all of you people griping that the judges aren't fair, and Bobby Flay is a jerk, etc. - your problem is that you have mistaken this for a serious cooking competition instead of something that was created by marketing people who know and care nothing about food, just to attract Joe Sixpack to watch. Sure, the pow wows before the match are fake. OBVIOUSLY. The fact is that they are given a list of three possible secret ingredients a month ahead of time, and are told which one of the three it will be hours ahead. Then they pretend to be surprised, doing take after take. Think about how the tasting could actually work - one chef finishes his dishes and the other food goes cold while he stands and waits? Ever notice they only plate ONE portion before the time runs out? Where's the portions for the others? It's all fake.moreless

sexist

2.0

By manupop, Dec 28, 2012

it's too bad that it has to be such a male dominated, ego driven and

sexist show. have you noticed that a woman will rarely win against an

iron chef?? have you also noticed that the panel has only one woman

judge and two men?? no wonder the men iron chef always win. also, have

you noticed how many women iron chef are out there??? I so wonder about

this show and the food industry... just like another male dominating

industry, men grabbed the power and will never give it to women. but in

reality, women cook at home in almost every family, so you tell me how

come men are always on top in iron chef and top chef the answer is simple, it's a sexist field.moreless

Good show. I noticed that 9 xs out of 10 the Iron Chef wins, which I don't like. Like that Alton Brown hosts.

this show is bs

1.0

By HaroldOduardo, Oct 20, 2012

I agree with none!

YES JUDGES ARE BS!!! I get that, and they contradict themselves and judge on stupid stuff and deduct points because of stupidity. seriously, how old are they in this industry?!

Judges should just be this way, all judges with earplugs, in a walled, sound proof room where they cant see shit going on, or know show doing what, and judges be chosen FROM THE PUBLIC and 2 or 3 professional judges to balance it out. in other words, totally blind judging until after they decide on points for the whole course meals while having them mixed up only chefs knowing what they cooked, and remaining of public. then will i start once again, taking this show seriouslymoreless
