The Next Iron Chef – Premier!
10 7 2007Okay, so I’m blogging about The Next Iron Chef, and I’m also sitting here in the middle of the episode. I needed a break from programming for a bit. I missed the first couple minutes of the show, so I didn’t see the setup, but they just finished showing off the knife skills of the chefs.
One thing I find interesting so far is the immense amount of chefs on the show that’ve already battled in kitchen stadium. Here are the chefs:
John Besh – I think he battled Mario Batali – A-ha! I’m right. He actually won again Batalie in Battle Andouille.
Chris Consentino – looks unfamiliar
Jill Davie – also looks familiar, but I can’t find a reference of her being on ICA.
Traci Des Jardins – I *know* she battled Batalie. The name sounds familiar. Sure enough, she too battled Batali. And She beat him with shrimp!
Gavin Kaysen – I don’t recognize him.
Morou Ouattara – I’ve seen him on ICA before. He battled Bobby Flay in Battle Pea, but he lost 
Aaron Sanchez – looks new. Oh, crap, he battled Morimoto in battle Black Bass, which I’ve seen at least three times in the past week. How did I miss that?! 
Michael Simon – The name sounds familiar – I think he’s in something else. I think I got this one wrong, too. Boo.
Anyway, they’re working on desserts right now. We’ll see how this show works. It’s actually a little different format than I thought it was going to be, but it’s in a good way.
Jill Davie is on Shopping with chefs, that’s prolly why she looks familiar… they have been doing alot of ads for it lately.
You have a very nice blog, good post…keep up the good job
