His official departure from Iron Chef — which was revealed 20 minutes into an episode when he revealed his shirt — doesn’t mean a departure from Food Network, which is good news for his fans.
Even if he won’t be competing on Iron Chef on a regular basis, he’ll still be contributing to the network.
According to Bobby Flay, he has proved his salt time and time again on Iron Chef, and the time has come for some newcomers to tackle the battles.
He went on in the panel to explain that Iron Chef is an ideal place for young and fresh chefs to make a splash in the food biz.
