I think what you're watching, Kiri, is a rerun of the mini-series, "Battle
of the Masters" where Food Network was trying to make a transition from Iron
Chef Japanese to Iron Chef America. The new series doesn't start until
January 16th.

Also, while I mostly enjoyed the Battle, I'm pretty well convinced that the
"winner" was pre-chosen to give the new series a boost- there's no way in
Hel that little twit Flay could out-cook Sakai. Look at the nasty 3 plop in
an iron skillet Flay presents as one of his dishes, and you'll know it was
fixed.

"Creativity" my tuchus.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
