Meet the winner of Iron Chef, Michale Symon. He beat the runner up John Besh by an angel hair.

Michael Simon

This Iron Chef beat all comers. Michael Symon is a treat for sore tongues. May he use his vaunted kitchen powers to delight the taste buds of countless patrons to come.

Cleveland Foodie called the winner accurately, and is thus awarded the Iron Chef soothsayer award. And he gets the homer award too for gleefully reciting a long line of recent Cleveland successes. I guess when you are from Cleveland, a great chef is not chopped liver. We will save our Cleveland roast for later.

Lest you think cooks are wimps, listen up to this manly quote from Michael Symon:

Fish is not something I do a lot of. I’m a meat guy. Still, we did what we had to do. I felt good the whole time. We ran pretty smooth.”

You say it, man. Now put down that fork.
