Iron Chef America

2005 · 13 seasons

Bright, chatty kitchen spectacle where the clock and the plates do the talking, easy to half-watch and oddly soothing.

Overview
American cooking show based on Fuji Television's Iron Chef, and is the second American adaptation of the series, following the failed Iron Chef USA. Like the original Japanese program, the program is a culinary game show. In each episode, a new challenger chef competes against one of the resident "Iron Chefs" in a one-hour cooking competition based on a secret ingredient or ingredients, and sometimes theme.
