Next Iron Chef Season 4
There is obviously a rota of chef's who try out for everything.
Chiarello and Faulkner were both on Top Chef Masters, Samuelsson won it.
And then there's Spike, who has been on Top Chef twice now.
The lineup for season four: Anne Burrell, Michael Chiarello, Elizabeth Faulkner, Alex Guarnaschelli, Chuck Hughes, Robert Irvine, Beau MacMillan, Geoffrey Zakarian, and hold on to your fedoras, Spike Mendelsohn of Top Chef fame. Also: Marcus Samuelsson, who won season two of Top Chef Masters (one food reality show title is clearly not enough for the man).
The new season premieres October 30th at 9p; Alton Brown will host, and Michael Symon, journalist Simon Majumdar, and UK Iron Chef Judy Joo will judge. Here's the press release:

Re: Next Iron Chef Season 4
It doesn't seem special anymore to be an Iron Chef... unless they are replacing an exiting ICA.
And why don't they address Symon as an Iron Chef? Weird. I always felt the most underrated ICA was Wolfgang Puck.
