Also, these original Iron Chefs will be participating somehow:

- Masaharu Morimoto -- original Iron Chef Japanese
- Hiroyuki Sakai -- original Iron Chef French

Wonder if Booby Flay will do his tapdance on the cutting board like he
did before in his battles with Morimoto?
Second - Morimoto is NOT the original Iron Chef Japanese. He took over
from Rokusaburo Michiba, and, I'm not sure, but I think there might have
even been another Iron Chef Japanese before Michiba-san.
Only good one of the three challengers is Mario Batali.

Mario is a real heavyweight in American Italian cooking. I'd love to see
him in an Iron Chef format.

Emeril could never cook under pressure. He barely manages to get in
15 minutes of cooking in an a 1-hour show as it is.

And Alton would spend too long talking about chemistry and having skits
with his friends doing goofy things to demonstrate science.

The point is not who is a good or efficient cook/chef, but who would be
good entertainment. Iron Chef is not about the quality of the food but
the quality of the show. The Japanese version, in my opinion, was
boring. I hope they "Americanize" it and bring it more in line with
American humor.

Alton Brown has said many times that he's not a professional chef. It
wouldn't make any sense for him to compete on Iron Chef, the disparity in
skill and experience would be too great.

Having said that, Alton will definitely be on Iron Chef America (Food
Network version), Check the March 5th entry on his blog:

http://www.altonbrown.com/pages/rants.html

Rumor has it that he'll be on the show as a commentator.

Well, that would wreck it for the rest of the world... It's not
supposed to be FUNNY! I love Iron Chef, quaint Japanese judges and
all...
