I ran across an old press release to day that mentioned a new show being filmed by The Food Network - The Next Iron Chef...  This will be a new reality show to see who will stand with the current Iron Chefs...  I guess 4 Iron Chefs weren't enough....

There are 8 new contenders vieing for the opportunity:

John Besh, Chris Cosentino, Jill Davie, Traci Des Jardins, Gavin Kaysen, Morou Ouattara, Aaron Sanchez, and Michael Symon...  I'm not sure how excited I am about yet another reality show?  I'm sure I'll catch the first one which airs October 7th at 9pm ET/PT on Food Network just because it's a show about food but I'm not holding my breath that I'll be watching after that...
