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.
