Iron Chef..Atlanta??

Just recently, Iron Chef America came to our great city to find a fierce competitor for one of the many Iron Chefs. Well, it was just announced that Chef Linton Hopkins of Restaurant Eugene won the local battle. His competition included chefs Gerry Klaskala of Aria, Annie Quatrano of Bacchanalia, and Kevin Rathbun of Rathbun's. (Yes, the one and only Kevin Rathbun). Well, I'm sure Linton is one great chef, but sadly, that's the only restaurant out of the entire group I have never been to nor heard anything about. Apparently, Restaurant Eugene is Atlanta's best kept secret. Who knew?Taping is in October with probable air time in February. Congratulations to Linton...make us all proud..
**If you're not sure who the picture above is of...that would be Iron Chef himself, Bobby Flay...grillmaster...Boy Meets Grill host...and the hot chick on his arm is his wife, Stephanie March. (But for you TV junkies like me, you may know her best as ADA Alexandra Cabot from Law and Order:SVU.) (Everyone agrees that I totally need a life, right?)

What is this a little mini-blow up session for the blog? Too bad for the Rathburn's guy. Iron chef must have heard about their incredibly long wait times.
