Seven is ready to take on Ten’s Masterchef with Iron Chef, the Japanese-originated pro-cooking contest which now has US and British editions.
Seven has cast three of Australia’s most high profile chefs for the contest – Rockpool’s Neil Perry, Guillaume Brahimi of Bennelong and Guy Grossi.
In a further twist, the show is being produced by Shine, which is about to take over production of Masterchef. However, unlike the Sydney-based Masterchef, Iron Chef will be filmed in Melbourne, reports today’s Herald Sun.
Iron Chef Hiroyuko Sakai was a guest judge on this year’s series of Masterchef.
Seven already has a second series of My Kitchen Rules in the pipeline.
