Michelle Obama’s vegetable garden is about to become a culinary battlefield.

The Food Network announced Wednesday that an episode of “Iron Chef America” will be taped at the White House featuring Mario Batali, Bobby Flay and Emeril Lagasse.

The three chefs, joined by White House chef Cristeta Comerford, will be welcomed by the first lady and allowed to use anything found in the garden to help create their meals.

may I be the first to say.....I’m speechless........

[colorado tanker]

I like the show. If the Obamas stay out of the way this could be fun to watch.

[gramho12]

I thought this was satire when I first read the headline. Must the Obamas ruin everything in this world?

[Natural Law]

Todays challenge ingrediant is.........chitterlings.

[milwguy]

Barry does think he is in the reality show MTV Washington DC, White House edition. How else can you explain his behavior?

[wombtotomb]

I thought her garden was poisoned somehow?

[Red_Devil 232]

The only things left in her garden are lead infused - worms and maybe some lettuce kale a cabbage and green crab sand.

The Biggest Loser show went there last night and oooo made a ....salad.

Fresh from the GARDEN!

I thought the guy Bob was going to cream his spandex.

FORTUNATELY neither Zero nor Bichelle made an appearance. I would have snatched the remote post haste.

I am sensing a pattern here,,,,

[ElayneJ]

I like Iron Chef too - (The Chairman was just kicked off Dancing with the Stars last night - but I guess that’s off point). The obamas will not stay out of the way I’m sure, and this makes me kind of ill. I’d had enough of these guys. They’re everywhere - in countless ads online, in email messages - everywhere. Enough is enough.

[wombtotomb]

Feels more like MTV Cribs with all the basketball parties, rap artists and what not. Guess its to make it Americas house. Whats more popular with the braindead generation than that? When flavor flave shows up for a taping of flavor of love, will we have hit bottom with The Peoples House?

[Ann Archy]

OMG!! What an awful joke!!

[mylife]

The secret ingredient will be Obama Saccharine

[Sarah Barracuda]

Today’s secret ingredient will be....Communism with a pinch of salt
Man this sucks, just another show I loved to watch that I can no longer enjoy. Everywhere I go I see the Commie in Chief. It’s bad enough he’s in the white house, but now he’s on my favorite TV shows too

[bushwon]

I am not.

I thot it had been determined that the garden and it’s produce was toxic due to lead levels that exceeded their own EPA guidelines.

Bon Appetit?! Eh, no thanks!

[Zathras]

Food Channel was my last place to hide from BambiCo.

[SeafoodGumbo]

And today’s secret ingredient -— ARUGULA!

[frogjerk]

There is no comparison to the original!

[NormsRevenge]

FREsh from the WH garden.

Michelle Obama’s vegetable garden is about to become a culinary battlefield.

Isn't that where she sits among the cabbages and peas?

[Rugged Individual]

The Obozo White House is really beyond parody at this point. I remember when Barack Hussein Obama (mmm-mmm-mmm!) was doing the talk show circuit. I had joked to some friends that I was looking forward to him being a guest judge on Top Chef.

I didn’t realize how right I was in making a joke. Unbelievable but all too believable for our un-presidential man-child president.

[Know et al]

Afghanistan can wait. He will make his decision after the quiche Lorraine is done.

[panthermom]

How about Obama host the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Gen. McChrystal and figure out what to do with Afghanistan?

[Osage Orange]

Oh...@%@%^&&!!!

[EggsAckley]

This really saddens me. I kinda like the Food Network.

[smedley64]

“Mr. Obama, I’m sorry, but you have been chopped.” (the other FN show I like)

[niteowl77]

Apparently the Paula Deen appearance was simply the first in a continuing round of Obama ops on Food Network. So be it- I'll be able to get rid of cable altogether the way things are going.

Still... it might be worth watching if they show footage of the doctors surgically removing Mario Batali's lips from Obama's butt.

[upstanding]

Let us recall the furor when the stupid NFL hosted some sort of kickoff on the Mall. It was a terribly tacky event, but not as tacky as the insane rantings that came out of the state media... the Washington Compost's Style section actually implied that the NFL event was evidence that Bush was a Nazi. I'm not joking.

The commie scum in the White House are very deep into the wilds of totalitarian personality cultism. He seems to have a compulsion to place his personal stamp everywhere.

[ViLaLuz]

Why does she always wear that Conan the Barbarian belt so high up like that?

[NormsRevenge]

I don’t know. she does have a thing going on there quite often.. must be her fashion designer

[T Minus Four]

Well it’s not like there’s any governing going on there so whatever.

[GOPJ]

I like the show too...

[optiguy]

How about “Iron Chef Afghanistan” or “Iron Chef Berlin Wall”. Yeah. That’s the ticket.

[Tuxedo]

I think this story is bogus. Mario is off ICA and Emeril never was an Iron Chef.

[USMCWife6869]

I’ll second that!

[opentalk]

How else can you explain his behavior?

This is amazing and degrading to the office. You are right, it is like "role playing" president.
No leadership. It is insulting, that this is what they spend their time on when major issues are ignored.

There is no respect for the American people.
