Questions for the new Iron Chefs?

I so cannot wait for this to air. I've cleared the schedule, and even went and bought new blank video tapes. (Hopefully my VCR still works - it's been a while since a TV program made me want to tape it)

I know most of the show is made in post production, but I will be really disappointed if this falls flat...

Screw it. It's a Butterball.

So after its over, should we discuss it here or start a new thread? oh yea, if you read my article you should be able to figure out one of the theme ingredients!

Start a new thread :biggrin:

I can tell you, you are right!...I can not be any more specific...plus it would ruin the fun..Plus it would get posted on Iron Fans.com just like he posted my Kitchen Staduim photo from my web site!...but at least they credited e gullet!

Of course, e-gullet was credited, that's where the information came from. And we won't post something if we're asked not to. I'm looking forward to reading your review.

Well, I hope you knew I was. I'm a librarian, and we rule! :raz:

I personally don't care about the ingredients or who won, my objective that day was to find the match-ups, which I did.

Thanks for the welcome.

here is a link...the article was published with 9 photos...looked great,I am stoked,but unlike the Times,I dont give away the theme ingredient!

Iron Chef,Daily Breeze

Chris, I now know the secret ingredient for 2 of the battles from sources that blabbed. Sounds like the matches will be very interesting.

You deserve credit for upholding journalistic integrity. If those other sources promised not to tell and then did, shame on them. You'll never regret being ethical, as I'm sure you know.

Please let the Iron Chefs win these battles. And when I mean Iron Chefs, I mean Morimoto and Sakai. They are rarely beaten.

If Sakai gets a fish theme in these episodes, you will not see the Food Network chefs win.

I think silver suits me so...

...but red is also for me!

Iron Chef Morimoto all the way!

From me, a fan of Iron Chef.

Do any of these posted links include spoilers? If so, tell me which one. I don't wanna know...

The link to the article I wrote does not have a spoiler in it...We were discussing how all the other ones did...Both papers in L.A. that ran stories besides the Daily Breeze listed the theme ingredients...Which really takes the fun out of it..Plus we were asked not to give out the ingredient....Oh well..

Is anyone else having a problem getting the pictures when you check out Chris' article? All I'm getting is the article, no pics. :(

today's denver post carried an article by wolfgang puck that gave away all but the winner of his battle. i won't spoil the theme ingredient surprise for anyone but i will say i was surprised to read puck as saying that he brought his chef and pastry chef from spago as his assistants and that the latter pretty much made the dessert.

also, i may have missed this in the thread's early days, but is this a one-off special? puck made it sound like at least his involvement was.

Chris,

I read the LA Daily News....and the Denver Post...both with their spoilers.... But did the LA Times also run a story with spoilers? If so, I think they should have to return their pulitzers.

Yea the L.A. times ran a piece on Tues with spoilers on the secret ingredients...I was suprised to see the Puck let the cat out of the bag as well...too bad..

I think FN is going to see how well this does and if its a big hit, make more...Now my next mission is to be a judge...knowing my luck,if I get picked it would be battle "poi" or battle "kim chi"..yuck!

... and look in today's NYT for the HUGE half-page color ad in section A, same graphic. That couldn't have been cheap! OOooo, those guys mean business!

Also noticed from FN schedule posted above that this program is occupying TEN CONTINUOUS HOURS of programming on 4/25 - 4/26, from 6pm to 4am!!!!

I'll be curious about who the ads are for... y'know, so we know who to hit up when eGullet-TV is launched... :cool:
