Iron Chef to invade White House kitchen

A Time Magazine ‘Tuned In’ blog entry begins with:

Speaking of liberal indoctrination by edutainment programs, Michelle Obama's efforts to turn us all into communist vegans is not stopping at Sesame Street.

Food Network announced that Iron Chef America will be airing a special two-hour episode Jan. 3, taped at the White House, featuring the First Lady and her much-publicized kitchen garden.

Host Alton Brown will bring chefs Bobby Flay, Emeril Lagasse and Mario Batali to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to battle with White House Chef Cristeta Comerford (pictured). The four chefs, divided into teams, will have to devise a five-course "American meal," using ingredients plucked from the garden.

The Time report ends with:

And really, what American will not be moved by the ending of the episode, in which the President will ascend a podium in Kitchen Stadium, where a choir of a thousand schoolchildren will honor him by singing specially commissioned songs of praise and loyalty?

Although the last comment from the Time Magazine blog was intended to be in jest, it probably contains more ‘truth than poetry.’
