Iron Chef America Visits Obama Family Garden For Special Episode

Iron Chef is playing in Michelle Obama’s garden and we think it’s just swell!

The popular Food Network program has taped a special episode using produce from the White House garden to help promote local and organic food. The episode will additionally feature Mrs. Obama discussing her crusade to reduce childhood obesity through better school lunches, community gardens, farmers’ markets and exercise.

Mario Batali, perhaps not the most health-conscious man in America, told the New York Times:

“What’s exciting for us is that is the first instance I can remember the White House taking

an active interest in doing something about diet and health. They understand that kind of P.R.”

He continued, “If we don’t do something about how kids eat soon, it will be simply the largest problem facing that country.”

The show will premiere Jan. 3 on the Food Network, with Cristeta Comerford, the White House executive chef, and Bobby Flay going up against the combined forces of Mario Batali and Emeril Lagasse.
