I didn't say it

Last night on Iron Chef, organ meats were the secret ingredient. Cady Huffman was one of the judges. At one point Alton Brown asked her if she had had any organ meats in her mouth lately.

She answered: "A couple of times."

Yeah.

Iron Chef Boxing Match

So, I flipped on Iron Chef tonight just in time to see that Bone Crusher Smith (former boxer) is a judge.

Bone Crusher Smith?

Iron Chef Finale

Paul Bartolotta vs Mario Batali with rice as the secret ingredient. What a match up. If I would have laid odds, I would have given Paul the edge due to his innovativeness.

When it came to plating, Paul went first. He stayed in the over all tradition of Italian/Mediterranean cooking with one great dish after another. The judges loved every dish. The literally found no fault in anything at all. Having seen Mario on a number of occasions, he'd have to not only pull something out of his butt, but also cook like he's never cooked before.

The crimson croc wearing chef did just that. He did a more around-the-world sort of theme and if Paul dished up the foreplay, Mario served the orgasm. His food was amazing. Paul lost by one point in each category. He would have trounced any other chef on any given night.

I guess that's why Mario is an Iron Chef!

BTW, the new season of "The Next Food Network Star" started, and one person went home already. Looks like it could be a good season.

Iron Chef

Paul Bartolotta is on Iron Chef tonight. He's up against Mario Batali. The secret ingredient is rice. Go Paul!

For those ignorant types, Paul is originally from Milwaukee. He now cooks in Las Vegas in the Wynn Hotel. Nationally recognized, he's a great chef. This should be good!
