Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend is a spin-off from the original Iron Chef series which first aired between 2005 and 2018. It was based on a Japanese series which translated as Ironmen of Cooking.
In the original series, a new contestant competes against one of the resident Iron Chefs in a one-hour cooking competition based on a secret ingredient or ingredients, and sometimes a specific theme.
This time though, the pressure is on as contestants could end up facing five Iron Chefs in an incredibly tricky challenge, in an effort to be crowned the first ever Iron Legend.
The new series is hosted by Alton Brown with Kristen Kish as The Chairman, and a rotating panel of judges including Andrew Zimmern and Nilou Motamed.
