Mario Batali & Rachel Ray Wins Iron Chef America

November 13, 2006 | Posted by Allison as Celebrity Chefs, Tid Bits & News at 11:30 am | (36) Comments »

I’m not sure what culinary mischief you were getting yourself into last night, but I hope you caught the battle of Mario Batali & Rachael Ray against Bobby Flay & Giada de Laurentiis on Iron Chef: America.

The surprise ingredinet was cranberries, a food we rarely see beyond the Thanksgiving holiday. At the start of the event, Mario gifted the judges with cranberry Bellini’s in order to tempt their appetites. A little bribe, Mario?

At first Mario & especially Rachel looked a little flustered as the one-hour timed cooking spectacular went underway while Bobby & Giada appeared calm & in control. But by the end of the Kitchen Stadium half, it was Rachel who was quickly adapting to the fast paced culinary environment, as the judges were way more impressed with the plating & taste of Ray’s food compared with de Laurentiis’.

By the end, Rachel Ray & Mario Batali held the Iron Chef crown & I’m sure Rachel has sworn never to sign on for this type of cooking ever again!

Let’s see, for another Food Network segment let’s see Paula Deen vs Ina Garten!
