'Iron Chef America' Competes at the White House in January

20091103-ironchefqb.JPGWe mentioned this in our New York Times roundup today, but it deserves an extra little shout-out. First Lady Michelle Obama will make a guest appearance on Food Network when she challenges Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, Emeril Lagasse, and White House executive chef Cristeta Comerford to a special Iron Chef battle. The secret ingredients? Produce grown in the White House garden. The episode will air on Sunday, January 3 at 8 p.m. EST.

It is my understanding that the produce in the White House garden had toxic metal contamination and was inedible. They won't be eating anything from that garden.

So I suppose that just anyone can compete then? This is so ridiculous.

Just to clarify, the NY Times article states that Michelle Obama is not competing, but rather revealing the secret ingredient which is omg spoiler alert....organic produce from the White House. I would have liked to see Michelle Obama go head to head with any of the three. But nope, the white house chef is battling on her behalf, I guess.
