The Next Iron Chef Episode 1

I liked it -- especially that it doesn't appear they'll be jerking them around with stupid situational gimmicks / product placements.

Alton is coming off an an ass thus far, though.

I enjoy Alton typically, but he's on about a 9 and we need him at a 5.

I have no idea how the kitchen at the CIA is [censored] up.

That blonde girl is kinda cute, but wtf at her suggestion that chefs actually view an Iron Chef title as something meaningful.

I do think the first challenge was interesting, and I thought that their reasons for [censored] on the bald dude were weak.

Michael Ruhlman on TV is always a good thing.

Alton is a huge dick and its coming through more in this show than ever before.

Do we really need to have the commish or whoever constantly scream "Iron Chef?" Is he incapable of saying it normally?

I would have thought bleeding into the food was an auto disqualify. If you leave some bones in the chicken or salmon, you get no points, but if you cover your product with a sheen of blood, you're ok?
