Season Finale
Iron Chef Gauntlet

9–10PM| FOOD NETWORK

Iron Chef America could soon
have a new member in its elite
ranks—if chef David LeFevre,
who bested sixGauntlet
competitors, prevails in this
rapid-fire finale against Iron
Chefs Guarnaschelli, Symon,
and Izard. “There wasn’t a whole
lot of smiling,” host Alton Brown
hints of the episode’s pregame
mood. But working in LeFevre’s
favor is his ability to “consis-
tently produce under pressure”
and “observe nuance” in his
LeFlavors.—Gerrad Hall
