Yefim Bronfman judges Iron Chef America
On Sunday, August 9, Fima
makes his Food Network debut as the first classical music celebrity to judge the
popular cooking competition Iron Chef America on the Food Network. A connoisseur of food and wine, Fima enjoyed the opportunity
to witness two great chefs battle for the winning spot using the show’s
top-secret ingredient. “I have always
been an enormous fan of Iron Chef America as well as many other Food Network shows, so it was a great thrill for
me to sit at the judge’s table for an Iron Chef battle,” said Bronfman during
another great meal at this summer’s Aspen Music Festival. “Great food and wine has become a hobby
of mine as I travel around the world playing concerts. It was a great honor to be invited to
experience meals created by an Iron Chef and challenger in Kitchen Stadium.”
