(photocredit: shacknews & foodnetwork)IRON CHEF AMERICA! the ultimate best cooking show. 60 minutes to create a five-course meal with a secret ingredient that must be included in each dish, racing against the clock and your competitor; what an adrenaline rush. It even makes my heart beat a little faster, especially in those last five minutes when the chefs are seen running around the kitchen in chaos to complete their dishes.
My favorite part is watching the dishes come together as they're plating in the end. They always look so neat and professional, as if it took them so much time to plate it. Yet, I see the chefs throw the dish together in a mere 30seconds. It's mind-boggling. They place those chives in the perfect spot or spoon their sauce elegantly around their entree effortlessly. Food really is an art in these circumstances.
Typically, I find the cooking section of the show more entertaining than the judges, but recently I was watching an episode, flay vs, Chef Kinch (a chef from a Los Gatos restaurant!), when I saw among the panel of judges, was a FARMER! It was rather exciting, a very unique and different choice for a judge on the show. So, this time when the 60 minutes had elapsed and it came time for the judges' tasting, I paid greater attention. The farmer, oddly, held very insightful commentary. I guess his knowledge about growing fruits and vegetables helped him better appreciate the food he was eating. Oh the many funny surprises on the food channel
