Iron meets Copper. Participants in the Food Network’s Iron Chef will need to get past David Copperfield for a shot at being the next Iron Chef.
The new season premiers on Sunday at 9pm from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Our psychic skills (and the network’s press release) tells us the four remaining competitors will encounter Magician David Copperfield and face his “secret ingredient” challenge.
From the press release: “Copperfield magically produces an ingredient that the chefs must use as they tackle one of the Chairmans (sic) classic challenges from the past – the reinvention of the Las Vegas buffet. Copperfield conjures up the ‘secret’ ingredient that becomes the theme for a buffet that must transcend all expectations of the traditional Las Vegas chow fest.”
We are not able to discern the identity of the ‘secret ingredient’ via our advanced sixth sense or reading of the poorly proofread press release.
Maybe the secret ingredient is salt. We love salt and it serves as our secret ingredient in all meals. There are those who believe salt can lead to high blood pressure and kidney problems. We counter that an absence of salt is directly related to disgustingly bland food. If you are going to eat flavorless food, why eat at all. Surely starvation is worse than high blood pressure?
We also love MSG. In fact, our heart skips a beat every time we see that abbreviation — even if it is just short for “message.” If God had not created MSG, man would have been forced to invent it. We love the sweaty way we feel almost immediately after taking our first dose in soups or sauces. We relish the way our heart beats its funny, irregular rythmn and our skin becomes hot to the touch. That’s magic in our book.
Update: a Food Network representative has categorically denied Mr. Copperfield’s “secret ingredient” is either salt or MSG. She would not comment further.
