In Super Chef Battle, Iron Chef America, the Chairman sends three Food Network chefs to Washington, D.C. for a special battle and introduces Chef Cristeta Comerford, who will also take part in the competition. In DC, First Lady Michelle Obama explains to the chefs will be allowed to use anything found in The White House Kitchen Garden to help them create their meals. After receiving their challenge, the chefs are split into two teams: Flay and Comerford versus Batali and Lagasse. Each team must produce five dishes showcasing the ingredients they selected from the garden and that represent the ultimate American meal. Judges include: chef and best-selling author Nigella Lawson; Olympic medalist Natalie Coughlin; and actress/author Jane Seymour. AND our very own Ted Allen (Chopped) assists as a guest floor reporter.
Some info on the the White House Kitchen Garden...It was installed in the spring of 2009, and measures approximately 1100 square feet and is located on the west side of the South Lawn. The four-season herb, fruit and vegetable garden features 75 varieties of seeds planted in slightly raised beds using succession planting methods. Cultivated by White House staff and volunteers, produce from the garden and honey from the adjacent beehives are available to the White House Chefs for preparing meals for the First Family and for official functions, and all extra food is donated to Miriam's Kitchen, a soup kitchen near the White House.
