Sweet! I'm definitely gonna tune in when Michael Symon throws it down. I recently finished Michael Ruhlman's book The Soul of a Chef and read all about the yummy things that Symon cooked up at his restaurant Lolita. I wonder which Iron Chef he's going to pick.

Wow. There's some serious talent there! I have a soft spot for Cosentino, but I'd be equally psyched for Sanchez or Symon. Cool!

looks like ruhlman is going to be a guest judge. now this might actually be a reality cooking show that is worth watching.

real chefs- on the Food Network!?! I can't wait! And Ruhlman as a guest judge makes it all the more enticing...

Am I the only one who finds Iron Chef America a snooze fest compared to the whacky Japanese version? The only thing that I like about it is Alton's commentary.
