The Next Iron Chef: postscript

It figures. The night that I post my appraisal of the first two episodes of The Next Iron Chef, the third episode messes everything up. First, the opening challenge is independently judged. Then Mehtra serves an insipid take on the challenge, Americanizing thai food simply by putting it in takeout containers. I would've sent him home for lack of imagination alone, although combining a pierogi with a dumpling isn't brilliant either.

Also, Jeffrey Steingarten is a dick.
