While I often entertain the thought of being a contestant on Iron Chef America, my lack of actual culinary skills, along with my fear that the revealed theme ingredient would be monkey brains, prevents me from going too far with this fantasy.

With that being said, I couldn't be more pleased that Destineer and Black Lantern Studios are developing a playable version of my favorite Food Network program for both the Wii and DS. From the comfort of my living room, I'll now be able to battle master chefs Mario Batali, Bobby Flay, Masaharu Morimoto, and Cat Cora.



The virtual kitchen stadium will offer 15 theme ingredients, allowing for "hundreds of dish variations", along with 300 minigames. Oh, and the best part? No clean up. BooYa!
