I really can’t read these comments anymore. You people are so full of BS and yourselves, it’s almost funny. Almost.

This does not surprise me because of the use of questionable “judges” and whenever anyone mentioned the garden, it was always said as, “the white house garden”; a common democractic tactic of having everyone use the same phrase ad nauseum.

Just sayin’….I called this a few days back, or at least sniffed pretty close: http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/04/what-happened-on-last-nights-iron-chef/#comment10

Also, as I said there, I had a weird feeling about this whole episode when I watched it. First, Emeril’s coat says “Iron Chef,” but is called “Super Chef” in ads and VOs. There’s got to be a story there.

And then the veggie thing.

Come on, FN, there are still some real food lovers out there who want to learn something, not be fooled and mindlessly entertained!

The actual vegetables used were locally sourced, and the chefs were only allowed to use the types of produce that they had harvested from the garden themselves.

Really??? Because Bobby Flay served a Cauliflower whatever and Batali took both…so I think someone better do some more studying before releasing the PR statements.

I can’t get over the Food Network firing Robert Irvine for an imperfect intro to his show….and then they do this. Well…goodbye, FN.

As soon as I saw the first of many many many ads for this ep, I wondered why they were serving food from the White House garden that was determined last July to have been grown in sludge that was high in lead and other nasty chemicals.

So that’s how Bobby got califlower after Emeril and Mario stole it all.

Iron Chef America, the Food Network and everyone associated with it are frauds. We don’t really care what you’re doing. We don’t care that you kissed Aunt Esther’s (aka Michelle Obama) rear end or that you pretended that the White House Garden was anything other than a PR campaign. We just don’t care anymore.

The shark not only jumped on ICA eons ago, its so beyond jumping the shark as its fin was already used as a secret ingredient…
