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.

Our First Ladies have ALWAYS done charitable work and have raised awareness for a variety of causes. It is clearly stated that this appearance is part of Mrs. Obama's initiative to curb childhood obesity -- an issue I think we can all agree needs attention today.
Take a look at ANY First Lady's time in the White House; you'll find that they ALL -- from Jacqueline Kennedy to Laura Bush to Eleanor Roosevelt -- have worked hard for specific causes.
These women are in a unique position to spur change specifically because they are able to easily attract attention to their actions. To judge one of their humanitarian efforts as some kind of play for attention is spitefully misguided.

Posters who seem to be so hate filled and "tired of reading about and seeing the Obamas", continue to spend their precious time logging on to every story and then spending more of that time posting their inane comments. An intelligent person simply disregards stories with subject matters that have no interest to the reader. Obviously you can't get enough of hearing and reading about the Obamas or we wouldn't be subjected to your blather.

This is the women who 's part time salary was tripled( $300,000 plus for 20 hrs a week) after her husband was elected to the Senate and earmarked money for her employer . This is the woman who is not proud of her country. This is the woman who wrote raciest papers in collage. Forget this smoke and mirror media hype , this is one corrupt B.S . Mama.

My kids, your kids and the rest of the USA will all suffer greatly for his greedy "Reperation-ish" Welfare actions.
I truly feel sorry for this idiot and feel pitty for all those that voted for him.
GOD BLESS AMERICA....we need it !!

And if you think socialism works..ask anyone who has lived there..you know "from the horses mouth" And if you can't understand me.. just resort to name calling! This seems to be the only thing people like you know how to do..instead of having an intelligent conversation -lets just call each other names. I could have a battle of wits with you but it wouldn't be fair because you are apparently UNARMED!

"Yes", the Obamas 'are' everywhere you look, so I'm actually glad 'they' are the ones bringing up the importance of health and exercise, to the attention of our next generation, aka 'kids' - being that 'there are so many broken and/or dysfunction American families'. Sure it's sad, but bottom line is, so many kids are missing some of this very basic/essential stuff at home! The fact that it's massively publicized, is only a 'plus', since it's not always about us, but about the up and coming youth.

Iron Chef is not one of them by a long shot. We aren't idiots, and don't need to be how to eat told 24/7 by Michelle.
