It is so thick, in fact, that you could cut it with an eight-inch Sabatier fillet knife. Rick Bayless, the chef at Frontera Grill and Topolobampo in Chicago, has just walked through a wall of artificial fog like a gladiator entering the arena. Across a fully equipped double kitchen, a roaming spotlight illuminates the stony face of Iron Chef Bobby Flay, standing atop a pedestal with arms crossed, radiating chefly power. In a few seconds, the two men will face off in a battle of culinary honor that only one can win. This is the law of " Iron Chef America, " a new series that begins on the Food Network on Sunday night. For one hour, Mr. Flay and Mr. Bayless slice, dice and blend like mad, racing against the clock to create a tasting menu that showcases buffalo, a secret ingredient revealed just seconds ago.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 [Heidi] OK, now it comes to the important stuff! Like taking a few ingredients and making something edible in an hour or so.

[MAP] I saw an episode of Iron Chef a few years ago and it was hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't watched TV in about 13 years, except for chance exposure visiting people and that kind of thing, and that was a great luck for me, because it's so insanely cool! The Japanese intro was so farcical I couldn't stop laughing for minutes and then it just got better and better! I heard that there is sports-page style reportage in the newspapers on the following day and everything! Like a real pop phenomenon! Yeah!

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Unfortunately, the Iron Chef is not nearly as good as it used to be. In " ye olde tymes " it was a funky Japanese import on a random cable channel. The best thing about the show was the English translation (in subtitles, not dubbing). They'd describe squid as " refreshingly seductive " and use really weird Asian ingredients (all the chefs were Chinese or Japanese). > [MAP] I saw an episode of Iron Chef a few years ago and it was > hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
