The Best Iron Chefs Of All Time
The best Iron Chefs really know their way around Kitchen Stadium. They take on challengers that offer up all types of exotic and wonderfully executed dishes, from the playful to the classic. You have masters like Chef Masaharu Morimoto who was both on the original Iron Chef as well as the popular Iron Chef America. Unfortunately you won't find Wolfgang Puck on the list because he only competed in the Battle of the Masters and retired as an Iron Chef immediately afterwards. With that being said, we still love to see him as a judge. There have been several reboots of the series, including Netflix's Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend which requires a challenger to face all five Iron Chefs in a final competition to win the Golden Knife and be deemed an Iron Legend. But which one of these masterful Chefs is the best Iron Chef to have competed in Kitchen Stadium? You can help decide with your votes.
Vote up your favorite Iron Chefs and vote down any that you think are not worthy of the title. Have fun voting and in the words of our Chairman, "Allez cuisine!"
