First Lady Michelle Obama has challenged Iron chefs Mario Batali and Emeril Lagasse to a Super Chef Battle at the White House. The Iron Chef stars will be pitted against White House executive chef Cristeta Comerford, and Bobby Flay. The two-hour special will premier Sunday January 3rd, 2010 at 8pm. In true Farm-to-Table style, the challenge will involve creating a meal for America with the White House Kitchen’s local produce.
Food network should remain neutral in the culture war by doing things like supporting Share Our Strength like they are now. As soon as I saw the first ad I knew that not only would no one that I know watch the program but that FN blew it bit time by failing to remain neutral. No one wants to watch FN to see political non-sense like this. I don’t know the political leanings of the chefs or the network and I don’t care to know. This show blew it big time and I and everyone I know will be completely ignoring it. Too bad the sponsors are blowing there money with many viewers tuning out.
I’m not sure I understand the other comment above. How is getting ingredients from the White House garden part of a culture war?
I guess all the libraries, schools, and cities who participate in Laura Bush’s wonderful Big Read every year are “taking sides” in some sort of political war. ????
My advice is to unplug from whatever partisan input you are getting and go out and make a difference in the world, rather than worrying that somehow Michelle Obama’s fight against childhood obesity in America is destroying the country.
I agree with james333. Aside from learning how to write properly, let go of your partisan mind. You are missing the entirety of the excitement that is meant to be conveyed by the Super Chef Battle. If you cannot raise your political anchor to watch this series, then you are just retarded.
In addition, just because you and ‘all’ of your friends are not going to watch it, doesn’t mean that the sponsors blew their money. Unless you are some kind of television statistician, your statement is BS. I know plenty of people who watched the show because they are true food/cooking fanatics who were not swayed by the politics.

Do yourself a favor and grow up.
