  Welcome to egullet.org
So begins Iron Chef America: The Battle of The Masters, and with that sly gesture viewers are forewarned, this is Iron Chef -- the next generation.
Based on the 1993 Japanese show Iron Chef, Iron Chef America respects the standards set by the original show -- the set is elaborate and rich, the food ingredients are exotic and luxurious and top notch chefs are serious about beating their opponents.
Whether or not Iron Chef America develops into a series remains to be seen, but the knives are now sharpened, the table is now set and Iron Chef fans are ready for another course.

 Iron Chef America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, Iron Chef America does not recognize Iron Chefs from Iron Chef USA: when Iron Chef American Todd English appeared on Iron Chef America as a challenger, his record from Iron Chef USA was not reported, and no references to him being an Iron Chef were made.
Iron Chef America is also not affiliated with any culinary institution as Iron Chef was with Hattori Nutrition College, so chefs also bring in their own assistants, often themselves extraordinary chefs in their own right.
Chefs also have a tendency to borrow equipment from the opposite side of Kitchen Stadium when the corresponding equipment on their side breaks down (which occurred surprisingly frequently in the first season), a no-no on Iron Chef.

 Iron Chef America | PopMatters Television Review
Iron Chef America, with its hyperbolic dialogue and charismatic performers, seems poised for the same type of dramatic tension.
As it is primarily a cooking show, Iron Chef America avoids arcing storylines (unlike Japan, which dedicated upwards of 10 minutes to a challenger's biography, including fl and white photos and interview sound-bites).
The competitions are friendly; the chefs cut promos praising their opponents' abilities rather than disputing their "authenticity." All this makes for a focus on actual food preparation, geared for the Food Network's audience.

 Food gets its close-up on ‘Iron Chef America’ - TELEVISION - MSNBC.com
Chefs often bring their favorite gadgets to Kitchen Stadium, which in reality is a windowless, surprisingly compact studio in the Food Network’s Manhattan studios, located in the hulking Chelsea Market building.
Across the Stadium, Cantu's competitor, Masaharu Morimoto — the only Iron Chef to hold the title in both Japan and America — directs his helpers in a frenzy of chopping herbs and pureeing vegetables as he deftly cuts pieces of Wagyu beef.
While the original Japanese “Iron Chef” utilized a panel of studious commentators, the American incarnation relies on Brown to riff nonstop with minimal help.

 superchefblog: Iron Chef America Meets Survivor
I tender these thoughts to the Food Network to see whether they agree that Iron Chef America could be kicked up several notches (as Emeril Lagasse might say).
Most chefs talk to the Media at one point about heading out into the marketplace to find the freshest ingredients -- so, fly chefs around the country to cities outside home base (where they have no restaurants themselves, thus no everyday experience) and set them not just to cook but first to shop.
The "girl thing" and the ethnic flavors with chefs like Anita, Alex Lee, and Roberto Trevino you've been adding are good and will prop up Iron Chef America's ratings to keep it going a season or two longer.

Bobby Flay is the Iron Chef specifically chosen by the chairman (Mark Dacascos, a B-movie actor who, for the show's purposes, is Kaga's nephew, but is actually not related to him at all) to battle Bayless.
But I couldn't shake the feeling that there was some bias amongst the judges as all the American chefs won their battle if I remember correctly.

I guess I started to dislike him during the first Iron Chef battle in NYC many years ago.
Here they were in NYC and the only people cheering for Flay were his mother, girlfriend, and employees (I'm sure that they were either payed to go or forced to.) Also, I think that he should have apologized to Morimoto for standing on his (Flay's) cutting board.
Perhaps it's the fact that "Iron Chef America" does not serve up the shock value of the Japanese version, whether it be horrifying live sea ingredients (Battle Octopus) or wonderfully witty comments from a guest "starlet" poorly translated into English (most of which shouldn't be repeated since this is, I assume, a family oriented site).
