3 questions with Iron Chef Jose Garces

Chef Jose Garces was not new to the Iron Chef brand before he was cast as a contestant on Season 2 of “The Next Iron Chef” on Food Network. He had competed against Iron Chef Bobby Flay in an episode of “Iron Chef America” and had defeated Flay in Kitchen Stadium, something that may have spring-boarded him into his role as the newest Iron Chef after winning Season 2 last week. Garces defeated Jehangir Mehta of New York City in the battle of ribs and racks to win the crown, and he owns and operates several restaurants in both Philadelphia and Chicago.

Count to “Nine” with Rob Marshall’s latest

Musical theater not your thing? Yeah, us neither. But then, most musicals haven’t been, uh, endowed with the bevy of babes that makes up much of the cast of Rob Marshall’s “Nine” — a list that includes Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, and Fergie — or, for that matter, the combined acting might of Daniel Day-Lewis and Judi Dench.

Check it out below, and don’t forget to follow Bullz-Eye’s coverage of “Nine”!


“Kitchen Nightmares” returns, sort of

It was also a good way to promote the upcoming new season of Gordon Ramsay’s other show, “Hell’s Kitchen,” which kicks off on January 29.

With that, here is what happened in the new episode last night. The restaurant is Cafe 36 in Lagrange, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Owners Terry and Carol are semi-retired and it was Terry’s dream to open an upscale, French-themed bistro. So this was it. But little did the owners know that their head chef, Pinto, was running their business into the ground by cutting huge corners and serving stale food that was still taking too long to come out of the kitchen.

Gordon Ramsay arrived and couldn’t believe that on some nights this place was turning over something like 6-8 dinners a night. Not tables, DINNERS Continue reading »
