Per the introduction fiction from the Battle of the Masters miniseries (and ignoring story elements from the 2002 Iron Chef Japan Cup Special), Chairman Kaga (the character) has ordered his nephew to proceed the tradition of Kitchen Stadium, initially in Los Angeles, where the Boxing of the Principals took place, earlier establishing a permanent Kitchen Stadium in New York'due south Chelsea Market. For the Battle of the Masters, the elder Chairman dispatched 2 Iron Chefs: Hiroyuki Sakai and Masaharu Morimoto.

Jackets [edit]
Each Iron Chef wears a specially designed chef's jacket, a simplified version of the more stylized attire worn by the Japanese Iron Chefs, along with an apron and trousers of their choice for each battle. Through the Battle of the Masters and the evidence'due south first six seasons, the Atomic number 26 Chefs wore contemporary denim chef's jackets with individualized solid-colored patches and trim: Batali's jacket trim was red, Cora's pink, Flay's blue, Morimoto's white, Puck's green and Symon'due south blackness. On the left shoulder of each jacket was a flag representing the Chef's country of origin.
During the show'southward 6th flavor, designer and Iron Chef America judge Marc Ecko designed new jackets for the Iron Chefs, which were first worn on the 2008 "Thanksgiving Showdown" episode. The jackets are individualized for each chef and include features such as short sleeves for Symon's jacket that get in resemble the blackness shirts he wears at his eating place, Lola, or men's kimono styling and colors for Morimoto's jacket that advise the costume he wore on the original Fe Chef. With the exception of Symon and Garces (whose long sleeves were shortened for his second season on ICA), the jackets take long, plow-dorsum sleeves. Colors differ past chef: charcoal grey (Flay), black (Symon), light blue (Cora), silverish with a cherry undershirt (Morimoto), white with light brown trim (Batali), white with green trim (Lagasse, for Battle White Firm produce), brownish with wide crimson edging (Garces), grey with white trim (Forgione), grayness with black trim (Zakarian), and black with white trim (Guarnaschelli). "Fe Chef" with the chef'south concluding proper name underneath is embroidered in the font from the show'southward logo on the left forepart side of the jacket, in the mode of a traditional chef's coat. The jackets as well include a large embroidered Iron Chef patch on the right arm also bearing the chef's name, and an American flag on the left sleeve.
History [edit]
Atomic number 26 Chef America first aired as a special titled Iron Chef America: Battle of the Masters. Unlike Iron Chef U.s.a., Iron Chef America apace earned legitimacy with the appearance of Fe Chefs Hiroyuki Sakai and Masaharu Morimoto. (Chen Kenichi was too originally slated to announced, just he was absent due to a scheduling disharmonize.) The first Boxing of the Masters involved Sakai and Flay, with the theme of trout. There, Sakai had made two dishes of note: one was gift-wrapped to commemorate the opening of Kitchen Stadium America, while the other was trout ice cream, a dish that would exist repeatedly recalled and referred to later on when anyone used the water ice foam maker. Other battles in Battle of the Masters were Morimoto taking on Batali, Morimoto taking on Wolfgang Puck, and a tag team battle where Morimoto and Flay teamed up confronting Sakai and Batali. Battle of the Masters was largely successful and a regular series was commissioned.
The regular series is taped in New York, while Battle of the Masters took identify in Los Angeles at Los Angeles Centre Studios. Considering of his other interests, Puck was forced to decline to appear in the regular series, and Morimoto took his place. Later that flavor, Cat Cora debuted as an Fe Chef during "Battle White potato", becoming the first female person chef to concord the rank.
The second season of Iron Chef America began airing in July 2005. This flavour saw its first and second ties on the American show: the start aired on July 31, 2005, with both challenger and Iron Chef receiving 45 points. In this instance, unlike Iron Chef, in that location is no overtime, although a rematch was suggested by Alton Brown. The tertiary such tied result occurred in Season 3, when Susur Lee challenged Bobby Flay in Boxing Bacon.
Starting November 2006, Commonwealth of australia'south SBS, the domestic rights holder to the original Atomic number 26 Chef program, started ambulation Iron Chef America: The Battle Of The Masters, replacing the original Japanese incarnation of the program. On December ix, Season one of Iron Chef America began airing. The show was scheduled to run until February 17, 2007, merely due to viewer feedback, SBS ended circulate of Iron Chef America three weeks early and resumed showing the original Fe Chef on February 3, 2007.
Starting in Flavour 8, Mario Batali was dropped from the testify's opening sequence, though he continues to appear in on-air promos for the show. Despite his appearance during the special battle in which he was teamed upwardly with Emeril Lagasse confronting Flay and White Firm Chef Cristeta Comerford, information technology is not clear whether or not he will return to compete in Iron Chef America on a regular basis. In a July 2010 interview with Slashfood's Allen Salkin, Batali explained that his absence from the series was due to travel conflicts with the show's summer shooting schedule and expressed a desire to appear in 2-iii battles for Flavour 9.[iv] Notwithstanding, in a May 2012 interview with The Atlantic, Batali later explained that he resented the decision to motility abroad from serious food critics to "skinny footling actresses" and other personalities he felt weren't credible plenty to gauge his cuisine.[5]
After the 2014 season, the show was put on temporary hiatus, simply on July 25, 2017 Alton Brown tweeted and Food Network announced that Iron Chef America would be returning in concluding quarter of 2017 as "Iron Chef Showdown".[half dozen] [7]
Format [edit]
Afterwards the agile Iron Chefs are introduced by Alton Brown, the challenger chef is introduced. The Iron Chef introduction sequence is sometimes skipped in the holiday shows and other specials. In the first two seasons, the Chairman announced the challenger's Fe Chef opponent. Starting with Season 3, the testify returned to the format of its predecessor, where the challenger chef selects the Iron Chef they will battle. In reality, the match-ups are adamant well in accelerate in all three incarnations of the testify, which is not to say that the challengers have no influence on the option of their opponent.
An ingredient or group of ingredients (referred to as the "secret ingredient(s)") is revealed, and the cooking begins. On occasion, the ingredients are really a 'theme meal;' for example, eggs, bacon, potatoes, etc. are revealed and thus the "secret ingredient" is breakfast. Just equally with the original Iron Chef, the "secret" ingredient is not truly secret. Both the competitor and the Atomic number 26 Chef are given a listing of three to v ingredients before the battle, of which one will be the secret ingredient.[8]
Unlike Atomic number 26 Chef, where chefs had roughly 5 minutes to talk over their strategy earlier the boxing begins, the revelation of the theme ingredient occurs 45 minutes before the start of the battle. Withal, this segment is not shown on television, and it is a mutual assumption that the battle starts immediately after the secret ingredient is revealed. This practice was described on an episode of Unwrapped.
The Chairman announces the start of each boxing with:
- "Then now America, with an open up heart and empty stomach, I say unto you in the words of my uncle: 'Allez cuisine!'[9] [10]
"In that location's the Chairman's familiar "Allez Cuisine!" the French phrase that calls the Iron Chefs to culinary boxing."
—Alton Brown (Flay five. Tsai)
"Allez cuisine!" (loosely translated as "Go cook!" or "Start cooking!") is the phrase that started battles in the original Japanese serial (hence the reference to his uncle, Chairman Kaga).
On Atomic number 26 Chef America, both the challenger and the Fe Chef take sixty minutes to gear up a minimum of five dishes based on a theme ingredient. Starting with Season 11 (2012–13), the start course is due to the judges 20 minutes after the commencement. Later on that point, a "culinary curveball" is announced by the chairman. Information technology can exist an ingredient, slice of equipment, or plating device. Each chef is required to integrate the item into at least one of their remaining dishes, and receives scoring from the judges based on their utilise.
Afterwards the first commercial pause, Brown typically asks Kevin Brauch to introduce the judges. Mostly, Kevin pays homage to the program'due south origins by adding, Konban Wa (Japanese for "Good evening") to his introduction. Unlike the original serial, none of the judges participate in the running commentary, although Brown or Brauch visit with them roughly mid-battle for their comments on the ongoing action and the clandestine ingredient. Over the course of the cooking hr, Brown may also provide further data on the theme ingredient, using visual aids as required.
The dishes are tasted past the chairman and a panel of three judges, two of whom are professional food critics (a dissimilarity to the original Iron Chef, which typically had one professional person nutrient critic as a estimate). Like the original Iron Chef, each chef tin can be awarded up to 20 points by each judge; consisting of ten points for gustation, five for plating (the appearance or presentation of the dishes), and v for originality. The rules are explained by Kevin Brauch before judging. The chef with the higher score is alleged the winner. If at that place is a necktie, information technology remains as the final result, unlike Atomic number 26 Chef, where an overtime boxing was immediately called with a new theme ingredient; all the same, if the overtime battle also resulted in a necktie, that would be the final result. (Also in contrast with the original, the concluding scores are subdivided by category, rather than past private guess.) Starting with Season 11 (2012–xiii), an additional ten points per judge is besides available: up to v points for the get-go dish presentation, and upward to 5 points for the use of the "culinary curveball". The scoring for the outset dish is revealed shortly after the dishes are presented to and tasted by the judges, and the total score (including the "culinary curveball" points) is reserved for the judgment and revelation of the winner.
Iron Chef America is non affiliated with any culinary institution, unlike Iron Chef, which was associated with Hattori Nutrition College. Chefs also bring in their own sous-chefs. Similar Atomic number 26 Chef, each chef is allowed two sous-chefs. In tag-team or two-on-i battles, both chefs on ane side each bring one sous-chef. On the original Iron Chef, early episodes had two chefs without sous-chefs, while later episodes had two chefs and ane sous-chef per side. The sous-chefs employed by the Iron Chefs are as follows:
- Batali – Anne Burrell and Marking Ladner
- Cora – Lorilynn Bauer, David Schimmel, Ed Cotton, Richard Blais (other sous-chefs take been employed on occasion)
- Flay – Flay employs a rotating staff of sous-chefs from his restaurants
- Morimoto – Ariki Omae, Makoto Okuwa, and Jamison Blankenship (other sous-chefs have been employed on occasion)
- Symon – Cory Barrett and Derek Clayton
- Garces – Dave Conn, MacGregor Isle of mann, Jessica Mogardo
- Forgione – rotating staff of sous-chefs from Forgione's restaurants
- Zakarian – Paul Corsentino, Eric Haugen, Alex Guarnaschelli (earlier her promotion to Fe Chef)
- Guarnaschelli – Ashley Merriman and Wirt Cook
All of the sous-chefs for both the Iron Chef and challenger are informally introduced at some betoken in the contest, unlike the original Iron Chef. Sous-chefs have occasionally entered into battle against Iron Chefs, including the Atomic number 26 Chef under whom they worked.
The rules in Fe Chef America are thought to favor the Fe Chef less[ citation needed ] than the original program, however, some challengers have noted favoritism in the selection of theme ingredients.[11] On Iron Chef, the Iron Chef'due south nutrient was e'er tasted 2nd, while on Iron Chef America, the chef whose food is tasted commencement is determined by toss of coin before the show (Flay immune his competitor to choice).[12]
Since the tasting and judgment take up of 45 minutes to complete (although information technology is edited down in post-product), the chef serving second is allowed to reheat his or her dishes, every bit was allowed on Iron Chef.
Several of the secrets to how the evidence is taped were revealed in an episode of Unwrapped entitled "Food Network Unwrapped two." Information technology was stated that the chefs find out what the hugger-mugger ingredient is most 15 minutes before the battle begins because the opening sequence is recorded many times. Information technology is simply the concluding taping of this sequence where the words "Allez cuisine!" are said and the boxing begins. Moreover, at the end of the 1-hour battle, the chefs must notwithstanding prepare four plates of each of their 5 dishes for the judges and the Chairman. This is done during a 45-minute menstruation subsequently the battle ends and earlier tasting begins. They consider this to exist part of the contest, and it is timed, just it is not recorded or shown to the viewers. The plates which the audience sees prepared during the one-hour battle are the plates used to obtain close-upwards footage of the dish for use in the final episode. Normally, on taping days, ii dissimilar battles volition be taped, one beginning at about ten a.m. and the 2nd at nigh iv p.m. A Food Network coiffure has about xc minutes between each show to clean the set and prepare for the second show.
Chefs provide the producers with shopping lists for each of the possible clandestine ingredients. Consequently, they tin can surmise what the surreptitious ingredient volition be just before it is officially revealed, based on which of their items were purchased.[11]
Special battles [edit]
ICA will occasionally stage special themed battles, generally during the holiday menses. The starting time of these was held on November 12, 2006. A special 90-minute episode of Fe Chef America pitted ii invitee Food Network personalities, Giada De Laurentiis and Rachael Ray, the latter of whom does not consider herself a chef due to lack of formal grooming, against each other after they each received tips and preparation from Fe Chefs Bobby Flay and Mario Batali, respectively. While the early function of the episode fabricated it announced as though it would exist a head-to-head battle, the Chairman announced just prior to the secret ingredient reveal that information technology would in fact exist a tag-team battle, with each of the women joined by the Iron Chef who trained her. The clandestine ingredient for the special was cranberries. The expanded timeframe allowed for longer cuts of the competition hour and the tasting segments to exist presented, and the prove as a whole had a more than laid-dorsum feel than regular ICA episodes. Plenty of joking and good-natured ribbing took place on both sides of the kitchen, such as Batali's try to "bribe" the judges with cranberry bellini cocktails. The battle was won past Iron Chef Batali and guest chef Ray.
A second special holiday episode premiered on Sunday, Nov 25, 2007. This special, titled Iron Chef America: All Star Holiday Dessert Battle, paired Iron Chef True cat Cora and popular Food Network personality Paula Deen against fellow Food Network chefs Tyler Florence and Robert Irvine, with sugar every bit the secret ingredient. While this special was the usual threescore-minutes in length, the tone was similar to the previous ICA special, with much "smack talking" and teasing amid the 4 chefs. Iron Chef Cora and guest chef Deen's team emerged victorious.
On October 26, 2008, a Halloween boxing took place between Atomic number 26 Chef Michael Symon and former Adjacent Fe Chef competitor Chris Cosentino. The theme ingredient was offal (organ meats, pig trotters, coxcombs, etc.), an ingredient with which each of the chefs is known to cook routinely. Igor and the Monster from the Broadway product of Young Frankenstein also fabricated a special appearance, assisting with the presentation of the hole-and-corner ingredient. The victory went to Atomic number 26 Chef Symon.
A 90-minute "Thanksgiving Showdown" premiered on November sixteen, 2008. The secret ingredients were foods that might have been used at the first Thanksgiving feast: duck, lobster, heritage turkey, venison, leeks and walnuts. This battle marked the first time in ICA history that the American Iron Chefs competed against each other, with the team of Bobby Flay and Michael Symon battling against True cat Cora and Masaharu Morimoto. At that place were two floor reporters for this special: regular floor reporter Kevin Brauch covered Flay and Symon while ICA guess Ted Allen covered Cora and Morimoto. In addition, Mark Ecko appeared early in the episode to present the new Iron Chef jackets and describe the design process. Atomic number 26 Chefs Flay and Symon defeated Iron Chefs Cora and Morimoto by one betoken.
Start Lady Michelle Obama's White House Kitchen Garden was featured in a new special episode on Jan iii, 2010. The episode, called "The Super Chef Battle", featured Iron Chef Mario Batali and Super Chef Emeril Lagasse against Iron Chef Bobby Flay and White House Executive Chef Cristeta Comerford in a battle that required the chefs to create an American meal, with the produce from the White House garden as the secret ingredient. Kickoff Lady Michelle Obama fabricated a special advent, welcoming the chefs to the White Firm, and announcing the clandestine ingredient.[thirteen] This battle was also notable as the first for which the Chairman was non present in Kitchen Stadium. Although the Chairman appeared on video, and presented a supplemental range of sustainable foods to be used in the battle, information technology fell to journalist Alton Brownish to first the battle with the traditional "Allez cuisine!" This battle was also the kickoff that carried a prize: $25,000 was donated to Metropolis Meals, a New York charity like to Meals on Wheels in the names of the winning team. Iron Chef Flay and Chef Comerford defeated Iron Chefs Batali and Lagasse.
On January 2, 2011, "Battle Deep Freeze" aired. The testify featured Iron Chef Michael Symon and Chef Anne Burrell facing off against Atomic number 26 Chef Cat Cora and Chef Robert Irvine. There was no formal secret ingredient, just the theme "deep freeze." The chefs had to prepare 5 dishes, each with a frozen component, on the following five themes: Fruits and Vegetables, Meat, Aromatics, Seafood, and Alcohol. The dishes were either served in or accented by ice carvings.
Greatest moments [edit]
On November sixteen, 2008, the Nutrient Network preceded its "Thanksgiving Showdown" ICA special with a one-half-hr retrospective of the 10 best ICA moments. In the program, the Chairman presents each moment, followed by a female voice-over narration describing the challenge the Iron Chefs face, including live fish, big ingredients, time, the ice cream automobile and unorthodox cooking methods.

Product details [edit]
Kitchen Stadium [edit]
Located at the Chelsea Market in New York Urban center, Fe Chef America's version of Kitchen Stadium has a more modernistic advent than the 1 from Iron Chef. Much of the equipment in the kitchen is summit-of-the line; appliances include six burner stove tops, an infrared grill, blast chillers, convection ovens, deep fryers, cutting boards, a plethora of small electrical appliances like blenders and food processors, also as pantry stations. Both kitchens in Kitchen Stadium are set with the same appliances, and each pantry station has the aforementioned nutrient items including expensive items like saffron. Challengers may also sometimes bring their own equipment to their sections; well-nigh notably, postmodern chef Homaro Cantu brought a Class 4 Laser, liquid nitrogen, and an inkjet printer with edible inks and paper for his signature dishes.[14] One of the most infamous appliances in the kitchen is the water ice cream auto (dubbed by the commentators as the Water ice Cream Machine of Doom), which is often used to create unusual and abstract flavors of ice cream when chefs try to make a dessert course with the theme ingredient.[15]
The commentator's station has Alton Brown continuing in forepart of ii large monitors feeding him camera angles from both sides of Kitchen Stadium. To stay informed, he as well keeps his laptop open to reference an extensive food database and, in later on seasons, an iPad to look upwards ingredients on the wing. An earbud allows him to exist fed information from the culinary producer, who in turn is fed information from two culinary spotters on the floor.[16] The station is much closer to and on the aforementioned level equally the cooking stations, allowing Alton Brown to converse with the competitors and inquire cursory questions. Alton Chocolate-brown has made frequent comments nigh Kitchen Stadium beingness "an orbiting space station" or "an underwater facility." Dark-brown has besides called Kitchen Stadium "Kitchen Stadium Number One, 2, so on until number seven as of Boxing Eggs.
There is a small-scale section in the back of the stadium reserved for the studio audience, which is mostly composed of guests of the chefs. During the first two seasons, the audience is most never mentioned or shown on photographic camera unless there is a special guest in the audience. Starting with season iii, the show again takes a cue from its predecessor and gives a little more attention to the audition, particularly when someone close to the challenger or special guests are nowadays. The audition is also now sometimes heard applauding the chefs, although they are ignored past cameras.
Despite Kitchen Stadium America's country-of-the-fine art appearance, issues arose during the starting time flavour. In her boxing against Mario Batali, Chef Anita Lo had trouble getting her burners hot enough to cook her food. At one point, one of Lo's assistants took a pot over to Mario Batali's side of the kitchen to utilize his stove, to which Batali happily agreed.[17] In several battles contestants have experienced technical bug with the ice cream auto. Though there accept not been serious injuries in Kitchen Stadium America, several contestants have suffered pocket-sized cuts from knife slips.
In the Behind the Scenes: Iron Chef America special, Atomic number 26 Chef Hiroyuki Sakai voices his distaste for the modern look of the American Kitchen Stadium. Sakai referred to the kitchen as "cold."
Subtitles and dubbing [edit]
Morimoto speaks English with a thick Japanese accent, and he sometimes speaks in Japanese when describing his dishes. Consequently, his vocalization is at times dubbed by Joe Cipriano. Cipriano, a veteran TV announcer and Los Angeles radio personality, also provided the voice for Hiroyuki Sakai in Battle of the Masters. When his voice is not dubbed, subtitles may be provided to help viewers understand what Morimoto is saying. In the episode Boxing Eggs, Takashi Yagihashi had subtitles when the screen showed whom he challenged (Michael Symon).
Companion shows [edit]

Contestants were eliminated by a panel of judges at the end of each episode, until the terminal 2 chefs returned to the United States to compete in Kitchen Stadium. The terminal battle featured swordfish every bit the clandestine ingredient, and was judged by Fe Chefs Flay, Cora, and Morimoto. Chef Michael Symon was declared the winner of the competition and later on joined Iron Chef America.[xix]

Chef Jose Garces was alleged the winner of the contest, and joined Iron Chef America as its newest Iron Chef. Garces made his debut equally an Iron Chef on January 17, 2010 against Seattle chefs Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi in Battle Hawaiian Moi, with Iron Chef Garces emerging victorious. Jose Garces went on to receive the kickoff perfect score ever in Flavor 9 (run across List of Episodes).
