Symon is the heavy favorite, though Garces has been relishing the role of underdog.

reply

He is, but they made him a judge because he's the current longest running Iron Chef (apparently they don't count Morimoto's time on the original?).

reply

I'm so glad Symon won. Anyone think that they threw Garces a few pity points?

Can you believe what Donatella said about Garces' food, that his food might not taste as good, but he does take more risks? Harsh.

And Symon's comment to Kevin Brauch about his earring was awesome.

garces' face when she said that:

I know, I laughed. And watched it a couple of times.

reply

I thought what Donatella said that made Jose do that face was hysterical too.

I wished Mario Batali and Cat Cora came out of their retirements to participate in this event.

Mario didn't necessary hung up his clogs- I meant that he retired from Iron Chef, not in general. I'm sorry if you misunderstood me. Mario is currently on The Chew with fellow Iron Chef Michael Symon.
What's up with Cat's show on Bravo? I only know it's been on once so I'm wondering if she'll be back with it? Or did she retire from Iron Chef for nothing after a failed show?
