Iron Chef USA: Showdown in Las Vegas

"Described by one writer as ""a cross between The Galloping Gourmet and American Gladiators,"" Iron Chef is a Japanese cooking show in which a staff of renowned chefs stake their reputation each week against skilled culinary experts from around the world as they attempt to create a handful of original meals, each based on that week's key ingredient, within the space of an hour. After the show began airing on American television, it became a cult success in the United States, and now an American edition of the series has hit the airwaves. Iron Chef USA: Showdown In Las Vegas features two episodes from the Iron Chef USA series, featuring William Shatner as the Chairman of Kitchen Stadium; featured are the Showdown In Las Vegas pilot episode, and the Holiday Showdown follow-up."
