Wolfgang Puck was an original Iron Chef on Iron Chef America, too, along with Bobby Flay and Mario Batali. His first and last battle was against Masaharu Morimoto. Puck won, but declared the battle too stressful and retired, and Morimoto took his place.
I would bet a significant amount of money that at least some people who hear about Kouzzina assume that Cat Cora actually works there, especially since it's her only full-service restaurant.
Yeah I named those three since they are all in Orlando and they were all "Iron chefs."
Emeril was an Iron chef in the White house battle for some reason.
Puck you explained.
Most people forget Todd because he does not like to talk about it and Iron Chef USA failed miserably. It seems in career nosedived after that.
I wonder how many people that go to Kouzzina have any idea that it has anything to do with Cat Cora or even who she is.
It was not the reason I went even though I knew who she was.
I do agree that many people who are not on these boards may think that she would be there.
How many rubes go into one of these celebrity chef restaurants thinking they will be there.
I would say many.
In many of these places the standard answer is they come in once a month even though they may only be there once a year.
