Worst judges EVER!

That chef judge was ok.. that food critic from the harvard lampoon is a jackass.. he's so rude.. but when you think about it, they had rude evil judges on the original.. he's like the american male version of Asako Kishi.. i think he just comes off meaner because its actually him speaking and not a translation.. if i knew japanese and saw the original iron chef without subtitles id probably hate Kishi as much as i hate him

Frankly, that one food critic, Jeffrey Steingarten, was the only one worth salt on the panel. IMODO, anyways.

OMG you're so right. Even the long-haired guy who was supposed to be the 'expert' food critic (he appeared in two episodes so far) was *soooo* bad!

The only celebrity judge I've seen so far who's been OK is Paige Davis.

I was actually embarrassed watching the judges - I can just imagine the Japanese Iron Chefs thinking they were voted down by people who have no idea what quality tastes like.

I was particularly irked by that actress - don't remember her name, but she has a recurring role as 'Lady Heather' on CSI:Las Vegas - who (during the lobster battle) gushed on and on about the garnishes but said nothing useful whatsoever about the theme ingredient. Cuz I really like her on CSI, and she plays such an intelligent character, it was disappointing to see her looking like an absolute idiot.

But AB was an inspired choice as the colour commentator - I was really impressed by his food knowledge, and he kept up a very good pace. And I gotta say the egg battle was one of the best episodes period I've seen of Iron Chef. Wolfgang Puck and his team were very entertaining to watch.

I think the judge with the long hair who hated Sakai's fish Ice cream was a hobo that they picked off the street. That's how bad the judge selection was.

Agreed, I HATE THAT HARVARD GUY! He acts like his sh*t don't stink, like his oppinion is better than everybody elses. Like he is the only judge on the show that has an oppinion that matters. God I HATE CRITICS! *sigh* but I suppose it can't be helped, all critics act like that, he reminded me of a lot of people on imdb (joke).

it's not just their decisions, it's also how they look or sound. They sound absolutely retarded when they talk, for some reason, fat white people look less professional than fat azn people >.>
