The skulduggery of Iron Chefs
I'm so disillusioned. Apparently, Iron Chef contestants are not completely surprised by the mystery ingredients. And I love that show, because watching white-toqued chefs kill giant octopuses with meat cleavers is my idea of entertaining television. For those who have never partaken of the culinary freak show that is Iron Chef, a guest chef competes with a series regular in cooking a multi-course meal based on a single ingredient, often still alive. The ingredients are sometimes common like chicken breasts, but more often exotic or bizarre like a live sea creature of some kind. According to MSNBC, the chefs are given a list of '5' possible items prior to the show, giving them the chance to prepare a gamut of relevant recipes instead of having to generate them ad hoc.
Next thing you'll be telling me is that American Idol judges sleep with contestants.
