Iron Chef Gauntlet

I very much enjoyed Iron Chef Gauntlet. I am not traditionally a fan of "reality" shows as I find they can get repetitive. ICG has short seasons making it hard for the show to feel too repetitive and has a focus on food first. Seeing the incredible chefs cook and seeing the creative dishes they prepared was very enjoyable and there was little to none of the fake drama in a typical reality show which was a nice change of pace. I also enjoy the honesty of having a competition that is an actually competition. Each season you cannot guarantee there will be a winner as the competitor could get to the end and still lose to the Iron Chefs. This adds some actual real intensity that I have not found in other shows. All in all if you appreciate food culture and watching amazingly talented chefs use their creativity I would definitely check out this show. If you are in to the typical reality TV drama and oddball gimmicks this is probably not the show for you.

This road to Iron Chef simply doesn't seem to be quite as challenging as Next Iron Chef was. Bring back Next Iron Chef.
