Alton, English, in Vegas

Does anyone remember the ill-fated original American rendition of Iron Chef? It was called "Iron Chef USA", hosted by none other than William Shatner. Well, they got the "shat" part right. It was poorly done and hastily arranged.

My point is, it was one of the first times I had seen Todd English in action, and did he come across as an arrogant and talented wanker. In his showdown with Kerry Simon, English plated his last dish with sparklers. Look at the retarded uniforms:



An abomination, to say the least. My real, and final two part point is, I've come to appreciate that Todd English is one of the better chefs out there, and is where he is today by putting in his dues.

Lastly, him and Alton Brown will be at the Culinary Center: A Test Kitchen for New Ideas, at the 30th annual Gourmet Housewares Show May 9-11, 2006, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
