# Iron Chef Canada

Iron Chef Canada is a show on Food Network Canada which premiered October 10, 2018. The show is hosted by Gail Simmons, with Chris Nuttall-Smith as the floor reporter, and Jai West as The Chairman. The show is produced by Corus Entertainment and based on the popular Iron Chef franchise.
Besides the secret ingredient that has to be featured in every dish, the Chairman also introduces a "culinary curveball" in the middle of the competition that has to be used in at least one dish.
The chefs compete in the sponsored "Monogram Kitchen Stadium."

## Development

On May 30, 2019, Corus Entertainment renewed Iron Chef Canada for a second season. On the Food Network Canada website, the new episodes are still counted toward the first season.
