The Next Iron Chef

The end of Season 5 begins with the three remaining chefs cooking with ingredients that the judges are passionate about. The two who survive elimination move on to Kitchen Stadium, where they must prepare food that pays respect to the culinary heritages of Iron Chefs Bobby Flay, Michael Symon and Masaharu Morimoto, each of whom help decide the ultimate winner of the competition.

Alton Brown and the Chairman greet the contestants who wish to be the Next Iron Chef. After they explore their surroundings (the Culinary Institute of America), they are given their first two tests.
