Based on a phenomenally successful Japanese culinary show, Iron Chef USA introduces two all-new American-style episodes featuring some of the top chefs from across the USA. The four Iron Chefs-Iron Chef American Todd English, Iron Chef French Jean Francois Meteigner, Iron Chef Italian Alessandro Stratta and Iron Chef Asian Roy Yamaguchi-rule the kitchen stadium and defend their titles against any chef who dares to challenge them. Presented with one key ingredient unveiled at the time of battle, a host of celebrity judges decide which chef best utilizes that ingredient in their dishes. William Shatner serves as the Chairman, presiding over the smoking-hot action as the chefs roast, toast and saute their way to gustatory glory.
