I really do agree.  I was not aware of what you describe, but I have 
always thought that there was more of the opportunist to him than 
genuine chef/culinary artist.  I have hopes that, even though he is 
participating here as an "Iron Chef", the show will still have some 
veracity, with the presence of Puck and Battali, not to mention Alton Brown.
