Chatterbox, Episode 9: Iron Chef-Style

By: Grant Dudley

Did you watch? This was the last episode before the finale. The four remaining finalists were inside the famed Kitchen Stadium being judged by their toughest critics to date (the Iron Chefs, themselves).

I'm not going to give anything away here (look around the website or read the chat replay below for answers), but it has now been announced who the final three are to head in to the finale. Exciting stuff, people!

For the finale next week, Star judges Bob Tuschman and Susie Fogelson will be chatting live. Be sure to join us.

We are only one episode away from knowing who will be The Next Food Network Star! Pretty amazing, right?
