I'll admit it, I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to Food Network's Iron Chef America. I never got into the original show. I didn't know any of the chefs, the translation of the narration was odd, and they cooked way too much fish, octopus, and other seafood (not a big fan). But I like the U.S. version. It has Mario Batali and Cat Cora and is hosted by Alton Brown and has Jeffrey Steingarten as a judge, so what's not to like?
Tonight is a big show, as Jamie Oliver appears for the first time and goes up against veteran Batali. It airs at 10pm Eastern and is followed by the premiere of Oliver's new show Jamie At Home.

We having been watching Jamie At Home at home for the past year here in Canada. The 1st season has already completed a long time ago.

Wasn't the series "Next Iron Chef" to find a replacement for Mario, or is this his last season?

Glad to see Batali is still on iron chef. Losing him would have stripped the show of any credibility, imo.

Jamie was great but I knew that beating Mario would be VERY difficult. I've yet to catch J.O.'s new show on the Food Network but I'm looking forward to my memory and it's listing crossing path's so I can set the DVR.
