This season is amazing. There are 4 chefs - Michael, Kevin, Bryan and
Jennifer - there that are far better than any Iron Chef from Food
Network, and in fact 100 times better than 3 out of 5 Iron Chefs.
Plus 2 or 3 other great chefs. I have no idea how the judges will be
able to eliminate among the Final Four. I would pay big money just to
be able to taste (or better: watch the preparation) the dishes from
those 4 people.

Brothers Brian and Michael are great - you've named pretty much
everyone's top 4.

Actually, one contestant (at least) from a previous season - Richard
Blais - has competed as a chef on Iron Chef America. Some other
competitors from previous seasons have been part of a competing chef's
team on ICA. So these are not run-of-the-mill line cooks.
