The first lady introduces the secret ingredient for the challenge, which pits White House Chef Cristeta Comerford and Iron Chef Bobby Flay against Iron Chef Mario Batali and Emeril Lagasse.
The White House approached the Food Network about filming "Iron Chef America" at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. as a way to reach those people who haven't heard yet about the first lady's efforts to curb childhood obesity through healthy eating and exercise, the New York Times reports.
Obama reveals that the secret ingredient for the challenge is anything grown in the White House garden, the Food Network said. The chefs harvest ingredients from the 1,100-square-foot garden before facing off in Kitchen Stadium.
The episode, which airs on Jan. 3 at 8 p.m. on the Food Network, features Jane Seymour, Nigella Lawson and Olympic swimmer Natalie Coughlin as judges.

More that another so called first lady? It's not color, dear, it's money and between her and her husband we will be broke and they will sit back and laugh, especially at people like you.

They are attention hungry, camera hogs with egos bigger than planet earth who seem to think we want to see them all over the place!! ENOUGH ALREADY! OH and by the way, I for one will NOT be watching that episode of Iron Chef. What a dissapointment that the show will stoop that low...... too bad because I never miss Iron Chef.

Things will settle down, hopefully Michelle will maintain a public persona, remaining active in her husband's administration. Getting pictures taken on the way to the car does not an attention hound make, and these kind of appearances were expected during the election, why not now?
Oh, and Linda?
Since when has there ever been a need to cook on a Food Network show? Let alone hosting said cooking competition? Look at Rachael Ray. Oh, and then they have to fire Alton Brown, AND the actor they hired PURELY to play the Asian nephew of the origianl Iron Chef Japan hose. Obviously they just don't live up to your, I'm sure, impeccable taste. Is perhaps the programming better in your own native Sweden/German/Ireland/Scotland/Nordic land?

There's a big difference. Perhaps if he'd stay "home" on occasion, he could get something done, instead of allowing Pelosi and Reid to run the Country. 2012 can't come soon enough for the good people of this nation.

You talk about giving to the rich but look at the programs they have initiated. Bank Bailouts that have increased the wealthy's ability to buy more stock, forclosed houses and on and on. They spend taxpayers money without regard to taxpayers and have flaunted parties in the Whitehouse like it is their own. When they gave people who could afford to buy street legal golf carts a 6,000 dollar rebate then who the devil do you think they are helping. They have created a few jobs. All the money they have given the rich, especially Pelozi and her crowd they can afford to have lavish homes built while we lose ours. But then they use illegal aliens to do the work so what the hey. As long as someone is working. Right!
