"Cast-Iron Chef" Competition On the Menu for Pomona
College
|
 |
Students will get a taste of culinary battle when Pomona
College hosts its Third Annual Cast-Iron Chef Competition.
Four teams of Pomona students will attempt to out-cook each
other in this event based on “Iron Chef,” a Japanese
television show that became a cult hit in the United States.
In the event, contestants will be given costumes and a
basket of secret ingredients to be used in creating a
three-course meal. Last year’s ingredients included both
alligator and ostrich meat. The panel of judges will include
Pomona students, Dean of Students Ann Quinley and Interim
Dean of Campus Life Frank Bedoya. Cory Cosio, the director
of Frank Dining Hall, will emcee the competitions.
Preliminary rounds will be held on Thursday, February 10 in
Frary Dining Hall, 347 E. Sixth St., Claremont, and on
Thursday, March 3 in Frank Dining Hall, 260 E. Bonita Ave.,
Claremont. The grand finale competition will be held on
Wednesday, March 30 in Frank Dining Hall. All the
competitions will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
In the television show “Iron Chef,” master chefs in various
culinary styles are pitted against challengers who try to
prove their culinary prowess and skill. A guest panel judges
the menus to determine who is victorious and who is
vanquished. The show ended its weekly run in Japan, but
reruns still air in the United States on the Food Network.
The network’s “Iron Chef America,” featuring Bobby Flay,
Mario Batali, and Masaharu Morimoto, premiered in January
2005.
