Iron Chef is one of my favorite shows. I don’t have cable so I watch it on my computer a lot. Which is also good because it means that I get to watch as many episodes as I like!
A new release today states that Bobby Flay and Mario Batali would be joined by Emeril Lagasse and White House Executive Chef, Cristeta Comerford to take part in a competition. The challenge was issued by First Lady, Michelle Obama; Use the White House kitchen garden to produce a meal for America.
The battle will premiere January 3, 2010 at 8 pm EST.
The chefs will be asked to use the produce from the White House garden to create a locally based menu. They will be asked to choose and harvest ingredients to use to create a menu that uniquely represents America.
Judging the contestants will be:
- Nigella Lawson
- Natalie Coughlin
- Jane Seymour
It’s going to be interesting to see what they come up with!

I wonder what the heck grows in the winter in DC. Obviously something, but what? I’ll stay tuned.
Kale? Spinach? I am not sure either.
I love this challenge, and I’m so delighted the White House garden will be at the center of the meal.
I look forward to watching it..eventually. I dont have cable. :/
You mean the supposed sewer sludge White House Garden? No thanks!
eh..some of the best tomatoes I ever had were brought to me by a guy who inspected sewers..
