Alton’s Close-Up — The Next Iron Chef Caption It
by Maria Russo in Food Network Chef, Shows, October 25th, 2012

After two hard-fought battles between Chefs Madison Cowan and Lee Anne Wong then Chefs Robert Treviño and Duskie Estes, the Next Iron Chef Road to Redemption wraps up tomorrow with a third and final Kitchen Stadium showdown, this time between victors Chefs Wong and Estes. The chef whose cuisine reigns supreme will join nine rival chefs in the journey to claim the ultimate culinary title on The Next Iron Chef: Redemption, premiering next Sunday, November 4 at 9pm/8c.
Until the battle begins, however, it seems as though the focus in Kitchen Stadium will be on Road to Redemption host and judge Alton Brown. In this sneak-peek shot from tomorrow’s finale, Alton turns the cameras on himself for a few moments of close-up face time before revealing the Secret Ingredient. Is he simply working on a blooper real, or is this one-man show part of the battle? Will we see the Road to Redemption‘s other judges, Simon Majumdar and Iron Chef Jose Garces, in similar frames?

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way (famous song)!!!!
Are you there God? It's me, Margaret.
Close Encounters of the Chef Kind.
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes until golden Brown.
Are you my mother?
And the secret ingredient is……
ALTON BROWN
I probably will only watch this year if there is nothing else on TV. The past two years have been a joke, no a farce. It appeared both seasons the fix was in, it was decded long before the show was taped/aired who the winner would be.
Honestly won't waste my time racing home to see it this year.
oooo I can see the big dipper!
Beam me up, Scotty!
Somebody really should clean that lens.
