I’ve been waiting months for this evening. The Food Network should be the “it” place for all foodies. In what is sure to be lots of fun, Iron Chef America’s season premier is tonight. The episode, tagged as the Super Chef Battle, will feature Mario Batali & Emeril Lagasse on one side, and Bobby Flay & Cristeta Comerford on the other. Comerford, in case you are wondering, spends her days as the executive chef for our first family. Michelle Obama will also make an appearance. Keep reading for all the goods!

Though I’m a much bigger fan of the Japanese original (that’s a wiki link), Iron Chef America isn’t half bad. Hosted by Atlanta’s own Alton Brown on the Food Network, the competition show features a number of great cooks (remember the Richard Blais episode?).
Now, a couple of Iron Chef’s (Mario Batali & Bobby Flay), will join Emeril Lagasse in a Super Chef Battle at the White House. I must admit, it saddened me to hear that Atlanta’s White House Restaurant was not the hosting location. Instead, the trio will take a trip to our nation’s capital to challenge White House executive chef Cristeta Comerford and first lady Michelle Obama.
The episode, a two-hour special, will premier Sunday January 3rd, 2010 at 8pm. The challenge at hand? Create a meal for America using the White House Kitchen’s local produce as the secret ingredient. Talk about taking Farm to Table to the next level? I’ll be watching!
