Anyone listening to Tom's show last night on KIRO AM (I sure was) heard his announcement that he will be a contender for The Iron Chef America title. His episode will air at the end of this April.

He has not yet been given his 2 ingredients (the 3rd isn't revealed until show day) but was taking suggestions on how best to charm the judges.

It will be a show worth watching. Good luck to Tom!

Who is he going up against? Mario would make sense; it would be the Seattle native who went east vs. the easterner who won the culinary heart of Seattle.

I think it will be Douglas vs Morimoto, although I had to get back to cooking while he was discussing the details.

A Mario/Tom battle would be so cool.

Is there a way to listen to the show now? Does KIRO have archives anywhere?

If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?

It doesn't look like they have an archive from their website, but I emailed them to ask. I am especially interested in hearing it again because my husband Jordi was interviewed during the show about our pizza at Lago. TD is a generous promoter of restaurants other than his own. :smile:

I didn't mean "other than his own", I meant to say in addition to, or as well as, or just that he is generous.

Thanks for the heads up - I missed the announcement - thought I caught some of the pizza talk and referrrals to Cafe Lago!

Batali/Douglas would be a fun match. They could both wear shorts and clogs = and fight for Salumi products.

It will be filmed in NYC, I believe towards the end of this month (?). Tom mentioned also that his chef, Eric Tanaka will be cooking at James Beard the same week as the Iron shoot. Busy week for TD and company! Sure wish I could have heard the rest of that radio show. I wonder what people's suggestions were for winning over the judges. Kiro really should air Tom's show at a more convenient time for me!

Edited by me for bad grammer! :sad:

The first post says that the episode will air at the end of April (this month). If the show hasn't been taped yet, I assume that's an error? Any idea when it will actually air?

oh sorry, i am a fountain of misinformation. apparently it tapes at the end of april and airs shortly thereafter.

Edited to add that Eric Tanaka is on the James Beard website as cooking in the house on April 29.
