Iron Chef America – Battle Sturgeon

10/11/2008

It’s been a long time since I saw a new Iron Chef America on television. Tonight? It’s Iron Chef Symon versus a friend and old classmate, David Adgie (this is horribly misspelled, I just know it!) in battle sturgeon.

Interestingly enough, there are new judges that I haven’t seen before – and they’re both kind of food bloggers. Random, but Iron Chef has been doing a lot as far as throwing food bloggers a bone and inviting/allowing/whatevering these people to their shows. The show before this, Throwdown with Bobby Flay, also had a blogger as a guest chef. It’s partially natural progression (I mean, foodies communicate everyone communicates online much more effectively than any other medium) so maybe FN has no choice but to allow these people onto their shows.

Sturgeon pops and immersion circulators abound in kitchen stadium. Fun. It looks like there are lots of interesting things going on, but who knows what’s going to happen. I’m sure this is not a new episode, but (sadly) haven’t been able to watch ICA in the last few weeks because I’m working on a project that actually has me working Sunday nights. *sigh* It will be done someday ;-)

Challenger Dishes:
- Carpaccio of Sturgeon
- Sutrgeon chowder with Sturgeon lobster finger
- Cedar-roasted Sturgeon смотреть русские порно фильмы
- Bacon wrapped Sturgeon with collard greens
- Smoked Sturgeon with Celery Root Hash

(Random note: The judges are complete freaking whack-jobs! None of them can decide on any of the dishes. They also tend to change their minds while disagreeing with things. Strange. The guy with the white coat? Throw him out ;-p)

Iron Chef Symon’s Dishes:
- Smoked Sturgeon Belly with Caviar, radish & lemon zest pancakes
- Sutrgeon Puttanesca
- Butter poached sturgeon with curried applesauce
- Sturgeon with Lamb sausage and bean broth
- Grilled Sturgeon with ragu

And the verdict? Well, I will have to let you watch and find out :-)
