IRON CHEF IS ON THE MENU FOR NEXT NAPA VALLEY FILM FESTIVAL EVENT AT THE CIA AT COPIA

Screening, Q&A, VIP Dinner of Netflix’s “Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend” Featuring Legendary Chefs  Dominique Crenn, Marcus Samuelson, Ming Tsai, and Gabriela Cámara, with Hosts Alton Brown and Kristen Kish.

Napa, California (May 19, 2022) – The Napa Valley Film Festival (NVFF) announced a special event on June 15, 2022 celebrating the launch of the new series on Netflix “Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend” at The CIA at Copia in Napa, Californina. The event will start with a screening of the finale episode of the eight-part series chronicling the heroic quest of a challenger chef taking on five legendary chefs in their quest to be named “Iron Legend.” A Q&A will follow with chefs Dominique Crenn, Marcus Samuelson, Ming Tsai, and Gabriela Cámara, with hosts Alton Brown and Kristen Kish, and the final Challenger Chef.  A special VIP sit-down dinner by the Culinary Institute of America celebrating the dishes from the finale will cap off the special evening.

The legendary Iron Chef series is reborn with a supersized approach to the ground-breaking culinary competition that started it all. It’s been called the toughest culinary challenge a chef will ever experience. This is where world-class cuisine meets high-octane sports. Five new trailblazing Iron Chefs will welcome brave Challenger Chefs to the reimagined Kitchen Stadium, where they’ll face off and be pushed to the limits of endurance and creativity, as they cook up extraordinary culinary creations. The competition’s most successful Challenger will return to battle in a grand finale for the chance to be named the first ever “Iron Legend.”

“We are excited to celebrate this landmark show that marries intense storytelling, exquisitely crafted filmmaking and editing, and the skills of some of the best chefs in the world. Thanks to our partners at The CIA at Copia, the evening will bring the show to life with a rare, once in a lifetime opportunity to actually taste the creative culinary product these master chefs and challenger present on the screen,” said Rick Garber, chairman of the Napa Valley Film Festival.

“It is with great pleasure to collaborate with the Napa Valley Film Festival, who share our vision to educate, culturally enhance the community, and celebrate the very essence of our valley around food and wine,” said Thomas Bensel, CIA managing director, California campus.
