‘T was the night before Christmas and in old K.S.<\/p>\n

All the Iron Chefs were stirring, it’s what they do best.<\/p>\n

The ovens were lit and the theme was prepared.<\/p>\n

In hopes that the Chairman soon would be there.<\/p>\n

A handsome man enters. The women go ga-ga.<\/p>\n

I knew in a moment that it must be Kaga.<\/p>\n

His jacket, eye catching. His style, quite unique.<\/p>\n

His friends, we’ll see later to offer critique.<\/p>\n

The stars of the show from their podium came.<\/p>\n

The announcer Fukui called each one by name.<\/p>\n

On, Kobe, the youngest. On, Morimoto!<\/p>\n

Now, Sakai! Now, Chen. Stand in front of your photo.<\/p>\n

With skills of great masters the chefs start at their task.<\/p>\n

If there’s something we want to know, Ohta will ask.<\/p>\n

Sakai with his circle molds. Chen with his wok.<\/p>\n

Kobe makes pasta. Morimoto will shock.<\/p>\n

The Chairman just smiles as he exits the scene.<\/p>\n

Happy Christmas to all and Allez Cuisine.<\/p>\n

(Apologies to Clement C. Moore for butchering his\u00a0Christmas classic<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

It is Christmas in Kitchen Stadium, and we have several Christmas themed battles for this week.<\/p>\n
