Iron Chef America
It would be remiss of me not to mention this upcoming Sunday's "Iron Chef America" series premiere. I am actually looking forward to a new series from The Food Network for the first time in a while. This first battle is between Iron Chef Bobby Flay and Challenger Rick Bayless. Bayless is a master of Mexican cuisine, and it should be interesting to see how he goes against Flay's Southwestern dominated culinary arsenal.
Check out this New York Times Preview (Subscription Req'd-free) which provides some great insight to how Food TV adapted the program and yet remained true to the original series. Caution, the article is a spoiler as it unveils the secret ingredient and gives away too much of the first battle for my tastes.
I'll tell you this, there won't be a live eels marinated in sake.
Have a great weekend.
