"Our ultimate competition is with ourselves. That is what my uncle told me when I would visit him as a young boy... My uncle, the man the world knows as Kaga the Chairman, has decided that, although America is a young country, we now possess the proper palate to host our own Iron Chef competition, an American celebration of the world's high art of cuisine."

Military Grill Battle Ahi The Challenge: Today, the Chairman is back in his native Hawaii, where he has sent three of his charges to team up with three of the United States Armed Forces' best grill masters in a battle unlike any other. Honorary Iron Chef Cat Cora returns to the field of battle to take on her culinary cohorts Mike Symon and Masaharu Morimoto in the most patriotic battle to date. The mission: with ample provisions and fiery apparatuses, you are to create five stunning grilled creations unlike anything ever tasted. The chefs meet their partners at Kaneohe Bay Marine Corps Base Hawaii. Prepare for battle.
The Theme Ingredient: ahi tuna
The Rules:
Each chef must create a five-course
dinner, with each course utilizing the theme ingredient, within 60
minutes. And for this battle only, there must be a grilled element in
each dish. The judges will score the dishes on a 20-point scale: 10 points
taste, 5 points plating and presentation, 5 points creativity and use of
theme ingredient. The chef that best articulates the theme through
their dishes wins. And Battle Thunnus obesus is ON! Ahi is one of the largest tuna species in the world at 80 pounds. It's also known as "big eye tuna" because of its... well, big eyes. It is considered sustainable, harvested by long line. Each team of chefs is given ONE fish. Tonight's Judges...
