When it comes to judging The Next Iron Chef: Redemption, boasting a discerning palate, a keen sense of smell and a lifetime of experience in professional cooking and eating isn't enough; you need to look the part as well. For judge Geoffrey Zakarian, completing his ensemble requires two pieces: an Iron Chef's jacket and a pair of knockout glasses. Unlike the jacket, which comes in just one classic shade and style, his eyewear can be changed for every episode, and throughout this season, we've seen just how much Iron Chef Zakarian takes advantage of that by switching between royal-blue rims, leopard-print specs and fashion-forward see-through frames week after week. He told us in this video that he brought with him more than 12 pairs of glasses to film The Next Iron Chef and after seven episodes, he's only repeated pairs a few times.

Flip through this photo gallery to see some of the best pieces from Iron Chef Zakarian's vast collection of eyewear, then tell us in the comments: Which of his pairs of glasses is your favorite?

Don't miss the finale of The Next Iron Chef: Redemption on Sunday at 9pm/8c.
