'Nightline' Reveals Supposed Secrets of 'Iron Chef America'

HI,
I totally agree with everything MR. JEFF STEINGARTEN said in above
comments.. Who really cares about what goes on behind the scenes
or when they knew what the secret ingredients are or who picked the judges or which IC to go against.. It all should just rest on the end
result.. The show that comes across our tv screens.. The enjoyment
we get from THE CHAIRMAN'S (MARK DACASCOS") silly faces,
(he is the one and only
reason i started watching the show in the first place but now love it)
The beautiful and unique dishes that come at the end and the amazing
pace the are created..
PS.. JEFF is mine and my husband's favorite
judge...

Alton Brown on 'The Next Iron Chef'

Hi again,
Left somethng out of my first message.. I can't understand why
they choose people who aren't really associated with the food
industry to judge the food either.. It is really hard to watch the ones
who aren't struggle for the words they want to use to describe something..
But since they do i think that it would be fun if THE CHAIRMAN would
go up into the little audience they have there and choose someone
each show to guest judge.. Just a regular audience member and have
him choose someone become part of the show..

Hi,
I have never understood why, THE CHAIRMAN, Mark Dacascos, has
never gotten a vote on the food as he is "THE CHAIRMAN" and why
he wasn't more involved in choosing HIS "NEXT IRON CHEF" as it
is suppose to be "HIS" stadium..Just dont't get that part and am
really disappointed Mark didn't get a bigger part of the show..

kudos to Jeffrey stepping in there ... couldn't agree more on this ONE sweet spot that Food Network has cornered for themselves, amidst a host of culinary travesties (e.g. Simply Estupido, even Alton won't acknowledge the existance of Rachel Ray)

^^^Wow, a tad judgmental aren't we? Please come back and add a comment when you climb down from your high horse.

Great interview, love Alton.

I'm appalled that a seemingly intelligent and artitculate man like Alton Brown would need to resort to the "F bomb" in expressing himself. And I'm amazed that anyone would find this vocabulary praiseworthy. If you like that kind of language, watch HBO.

Loved the interview! I love watching Good Eats!! My kids are 2,4, and 5 and they love it, too. There are so many "artsy" food shows on, what I love it the history, and science of good tasting food. Thank you Alton!!! I love the groundedness (if that is a word) that he brought to the Next Iron Chef. All I can say is if A.B. is in it, I'll watch it!!

Loved the interview, albeit small. It was nice to hear his take on Jeffrey. Sometimes while watching the banter between Jeffrey and the other judges I squirm at the obvious tension and what appears to be a desire to lean over and slap him across the face. It’s like a train wreck, I mean I want to change the channel …. But, then I might miss the cat fight if I do.

Lastly I love A.B & Good Eats, I’ve been a fan from the start, I even have the salt cellar to prove it….looking forward to many more years from your show.

Tickled to death to hear Alton talking like a real guy. I, too, would like to build/engineer some props for his show. Got any use for a toolmaker, Alton? I would love to see a fistfight between Andrew and Michael...wouldn't that be fun? I love the Iron Chef shows...and I especially enjoyed the episode with Kerry Simon against Cat Cora because he brought his own fan club, a.k.a. Bill Murray & Co. I think there should always be a live audience.
