I watched the Iron Chef with Bobby Flay and Cristeta Comerford vs. Mario Batali and Emeril Lagasse … and the vegetables weren’t the only thing that was phony. When the judges tasted the food, it was extremely obvious that they were blown away by Mario Batali’s and Emeril Lagasse’s food, while politely complimentary over Flay’s and Comerford’s food. But, since Michelle Obama’s food program and her chef were on the line, the truth had to take a back seat to what was political correct … and, nobody, including the Food Network, wants to get on the bad side of Michelle Obama. Too bad, the Food Channel’s credibility had to be sacrificed in order to appease the politically powerful.

I was surprised that both Batali and Lagasse burned their dishes. Emeril burned the turkey and Mario burned the scallops. They handed the win to Flay and Comerford, who are great chefs in their own right. Too much pressure to finish in an hour, I guess.

I think Bush Sr. had a Filipino chef

I never heard that account. They frequently harvest from the garden and actually have produced many fruits and vegetables that are donated to local food banks. The grounds around the White House are maintained very well. I lived in DC for 12 years and never heard or knew of the White House grounds being so contaminated that they could never eat, much less grow anything in the supposed contaminated soil…

I was wondering about the veggies since as I recall the ground was so polluted that the veggies were declared inedible because of the pollution. I would hope that that was taken into account when this show was created.
