Iron Chef America - Symon vs. Culinary Students - Balsamic Vinegar (1 of 5)

[CreativeDude111]

They should left those medals at home or some where after the show off!!!

[ducky811]

How do the student chefs work with those cumbersome medals around their necks?!!! I would have to set them aside while competing.

[lppon]

julie's cute. i want to see her cook naked.

[aseretkavon]

...Did Batali quit? He wasn't announced in the intro! =[

[Seinneam]

@aseretkavon

No, I've seen him in episodes that played later than this... maybe he was sick that day, the last thing you want to do is handle food when you're under the weather.

[MacTeen316]

@aseretkavon Batali's been absent for a while, conflicts with the summer shooting schedule. He still appears in promo material for ICA. His last battle was White House Produce with Emeril.

[ryudada]

if it was morimoto he would definitely lose

[cryptomrsh]

damn that brunette chef is hot

[megamanteamprotoman3]

@cryptomrsh agreed

[samuellis]

Damn those two girl chefs are so hot....

[GothChilde6969]

There was only supposed to be the one guy, but then he chickened out behind camera; that is until the chairman said "I'll let you appear on the show with my daughters, who know more about cooking than you."

[Negative2008]

Upload Battles OATMEAL, BANANAS, and ALMONDS

THX FOR ALL UR UPLOADS

[vallejoHYPHY]

what happened to Batali?

[GothChilde6969]

@vallejoHYPHY He got hungry nd ate the chairman's stadium, so the chairman was all pissed and super angry and he was like "CLEAN!!!!!! BUILD!!!!!!!! SHOP!!!!!!!! NOW, HANDLE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and the aftermath caused him to be blown all the way to Scotland because he looks more Scottish than Italian.

[mecubus]

that dude on the challenger's side is cocky @ 6:46. He should learn more about humility...

[GothChilde6969]

@mecubus I don't think he understands the concept of the word lol.

[rocklee247]

5:21 someones got the giggles. =P

[kearabob]

These culinary students attend college with my brother at the Art Institute of Seattle =)

[axelpayne69]

Michael Symon, such an inspiring chef, and such an incredibly great guy.

[InDeAskY1]

Hey, what happened to Batali?

[axelpayne69]

@InDeAskY1, I think he retired.

[mchan2048]

@axelpayne69 Batali left the show, and I believe his other foodnetwork show, if I am not mistaken, is not on anymore. He didn't retire like Wolfgang Puck did.

[axelpayne69]

@mchan2048, so, did he leave to focus more on his culinary empire, or because he just didn't want to do it anymore? Well, either way, he was the American version of Morimoto, and he had an incredible record of 19-5, with an incredible 12-game win streak. I miss him on the show!

[InDeAskY1]

@axelpayne69 Too bad.

[axelpayne69]

@InDeAskY1, ???!

[InDeAskY1]

@axelpayne69 What do you mean, '???!'? It's too bad that Mario Batali left the show. He's a great chef.

[axelpayne69]

@InDeAskY1, that's what the ??? was, because I didn't completely understand what you were trying to say, but yes, it is sad that Batali is no longer there.

[lucirz]

man i hat this overdramatic crap, but that food looks amazing

[haingo36]

can you upload battle of wahoo. This battle is really cool

[stastill]

can u upload battle maple syrup and avocado?

[amsivertson]

@stastill Especially the avocado one - fellow Canadian Michael Smith (who was screwed by the judges) takes on Bobby Flay.

[ivenstorm]

i always sound bias but honestly i dont like flay. how he became an iron chef after the double screwups he made on the original iron chef i will never know. he disrespected morimoto once which is forgivable since he didnt know the customs there, but throwing down him cutting board to me is just as disrespectful

[Arcticazn]

@ivenstorm yeah i hate his guts, he sucks on throwdown, they should throw him down....

[Fatmanmi]

@ivenstorm the dumbass tried to GRILL AN EGG!!!! AN EGG!!!!! HOW IN THE HELL IS HE EVEN A RESPECTED CHEF!!! F*** him and his blue corn!

[skitch76cd]

@ivenstorm Oh wow, I never saw that. He's just not my favorite cuz he's too hot-headed. Seems like every episode of ICA he's on, he's melting down from running out of time, etc. My guess he's going to be replaced by the Next Iron Chef this season cuz I'm just not sure he's happy there.

[ivenstorm]

he should be replaced by mario batalli imo. mario makes cooking enjoyable, same with morimoto

flay just makes amateurish mistakes that makes cooking a headache

[gizzmo54]

First of all, thank you very much for uploading so many episodes!

Would you be able to upload Battle Bacon from Season 3? The challenger was Susur Lee who lives and works here in Toronto (and who I saw in person!). Seeing him in battle (as I did on Top Chef Masters) would be very exciting. Thanks!

[acaspers]

close it! CLOSE IT! hahaha oh alton and his love for the ice cream machine

[IVONNEE77]

AT 00:46, WHAT IS THE BATTLE????

[liljayyboi2]

Where's Mario Batali?

[henryblazer20]

@liljayyboi2 Batali had a brain aneyurism (sp?

[acidburned]

At 06:50, the way the dude handled those sweet potatoes? Scary.

[snowblazer12]

one of these days an explosion is going to occur after someone crosses their arm for more dramatic effect

[princecharmingisdone]

its good 2 have u back mchan,youtube missed u :)

[garrettface]

Michael Symon's apprentices are coming across as so useless, haha. I'm sure they're not, but they seem like they're very slow like they don't care.

[purplehues001]

karine bakhouum( or whatever her name is) is one fiesty woman...she literally pounced on the male judges in battle zucchini and battle tomatoes

[tjwearspjs]

Thanks for posting this! Perfect timing. I just finished watching all of your other ICA videos :)

[windwalker535]

I like how they are giving starters a chance to cook. :D

[Mousetrix1]

You're awesome for posting these. Thank you so so much.

[JohnE9999]

Thank you so much for posting this. I had it, then lost it. Now it's back!

[chocojung]

where is my mario batali?

[PinkCowgirl925]

WHAT HAPPEN TO BITALI I <3ED HIM

[BearcatWizard]

@PinkCowgirl925 @chocojung He went to PBS is what I heard. But I think Mario will appear sometimes on Iron Chef America, but not all the time. I think he's being replaced?

[andyhthedrummer]

@BearcatWizard he was replaced by iron chef jose garces. mario quit because food network refused to keep showing repeats of his old cooking shows so he will no longer appear on new episodes of iron chef america
