You Be the Judge

Cosentino vs. Batali on Iron Chef America
 

April 22, 2007 New York.
In a much-anticipated matchup, Iron Chef Mario Batali narrowly overcame challenger Chef Chris Cosentino in "Battle Garlic." Did Iron Chef Batali's cuisine really reign supreme? Or did deference for the Iron Chef tip the scales of judgement? Decide for yourself by experiencing the menu that unanimously outscored the Iron Chef's for originality in use of the theme ingredient.
