Kitchen Stadium Hits The Streets At The Next Iron Chef Experience

The early morning emcee was none other than Alton Brown who gave the press the inside scoop on the upcoming fourth season premiering Sunday October 30th at 9 p.m. "What's different about this season is that it's more difficult," he said. "Each and every episode will feature a Chairman's challenge in which all of the contestants will cook outside of the kitchen, then fight to sudden death."
Fans of Iron Chef will get a chance to visit a re-enactment of Kitchen Stadium (eat your heart out Chairman!) at the Chelsea location. Additionally, devotees will witness the "secret ingredient" change every day for the duration of the festival. Allez Cuisine!
