They had 3 pilot episodes about 3 years back, and they were on USA (TV network) if i'm not mistaken. It was hosted by William Shatner, and it was a crime against humanity. I LOVE the original Iron Chef, and this seriously was like they were trying to make fun of it, even thought all the chefs were accredited. The theme ingredient was chicken for the first episode, and included superstars on the panel such as Ron Popiel, and the black lady from boston public. Awful.
