with the picking a new Iron Chef? Does anyone know why they are adding more chefs or what?

I absolutely hate almost everyone on Iron Chef America except Mario Batali and Alton Brown. I can't believe they are trying to add more chefs. It is just stupid in my opinion.

I'll tell you why they are adding more chefs... To bloat the hell out of everything of course!

This is completely unnecessary, and I do not know why they would bother. Either way, it doesn't bother me much.

They aren't adding more chefs. Mario Batali is leaving, and he needs to be replaced, just like Cat Cora replaced Wolfgang Puck. In fact, I am surprised they haven't replaced Morimoto with someone else yet.

It’s just a normal thing to any industry. When someone is leaving, it is just right that they look for another. They can’t stop the show just because someone is going to leave. I think that the new ones are as competent as the old chefs.

Mario isn't leaving Iron Chef. In fact, he was on last Sunday with a battle with Jamie Oliver. Mario won, too! He is such a great chef! Can you tell I like him too?

I'm a fan of Mario too. I really hope he doesn't leave. The show just won't be near as good. I haven't heard anything about it though. Maybe he'll stick around, at least in reruns. He's fun to watch.

There has been several news articles written and they are consistantly saying Mario said he will be on Iron Chef.
