We have all been patiently waiting for the airing of my battle on Iron Chef America. It’s finally time to start frying your pig ears and chittlin snacks and chilling the beer and bubbles. Make your bets and start your party plans because the date is finally here.

My Iron Chef battle versus Mario Batali will air on Sunday, April 22nd. (on the Food Network, check your local listings for time)
Trust me it has not been easy having all of you ask me, “who won and what did you cook?” But the wait will be over soon.

    My fingers are crossed for Battle Offal.

  3. Monroe Bryant says:

    I guess you DID have the guts to battle on that show.

  4. Corey Wheeler Forrest says:

    can’t wait! I have spread the word….Good luck.

  5. If it’s a tie you should challenge Chef Bartali to a bike race for all the marbles…he could use the miles… ;)

  6. Brad Bryan says:

    Hey Chris! Rodriques is my husband’s boss at Salve, so when he came home and told me, I had to Google you! Congrats on success in your field. Can’t wait to see your Battle – the commercial showing you asking to go against the ‘guy with the orange’ cracked me up. Good to know your sense of humor is intact! We’ll be watching – good luck!

  9. David says:

    soooooooo close! I thought ya had it. Regardless
    you just earned yet another fan. Awesome job!!!
    Bravo. I’m a fello chef who’ll be visiting fam in
    Mill Valley the end of May. I’m traveling from
    Maine. I’ll be in the area for a week. I’m DEF
    going to eat at Incanto… Can’t wait! You guys
    rocked!!!

  12. sean sevilla says:

    Just saw the taping, I think I smell a rematch in the works….2 points is a close one.

  13. Jesse Williamson says:

    Awesome battle!! WOW I wish I could have been on the tasting panel for that one! I thought your cooking was imaginative, daring, and sounded /great/!

  14. Kill the ref!

    Usually I can say, well, I didn’t taste the food, maybe it tasted better than it looked. But Batali won mostly on plating!

    I want some of those mistake noodles cooked in pork stock.

  15. Brandon Harpster says:

    Tough loss. Nice Job showing off offal. The squab looked great. just wondering whats on the arm bands you guys were wearing. Nice shoes too.

  16. What was the purpose of heating the olive oil? To make it more aromatic?

  17. You were great on Iron Chef!
    I have to try to deep fry honey comb tripe like you did. Never had it crispy before…but always willing to give something a taste.
    What’s cooking at the Farmer’s Market on Saturday?

  18. Amy says:

    You were robbed! I just don’t get it. You should serve up that menu at the restaurant. Putting a garlic clove in the claw should have put you over the top in plating if you ask me.

  19. Annette Baron says:

    You and team were OUTSTANDING! Cool under pressure (you could have lost it when the pasta went into the tomato sauce!)

    No question, Battali is good (I’ve been to Babbo) – but SO ARE YOU! Really admire your “guts” to experiment w/”guts”…. Can’t wait to try your Garlic Menu in May.

    Buona fortuna sempre!

    I absolutely loved the look on the judges faces (especially Ted) when you explained how to eat the squab brains. Brilliant dishes, Chris. In my opinion, if the first two dishes weren’t too strong for the judges, you would have won…or at least a tie. IMHO, I love the bite of garlic. If I can get to Incanto in the fall, I’ll be sure to bring you a sampling of the garlic I grow. The carpathian is a stinger. Kudos.

    Snap on the squab brains. Presentation was effin’ awesome.
