Hareesh Ragav

Welcome to the season finale of "Iron Chef America" on The Food Network.

Today we have a special theme. Rather than our standard competition, we will be hosting a collaborative period between our Iron Chefs. We will see exactly what they will create with their combined talent and effort.

Time to introduce our legendary Iron Chefs:

First up we have Chef Environ-Men'tal F. Actors (Iron Chef EF). He has been influencing billions of people across the world with his unpredictable culinary design.

Then we have Chef Pot'Ential (Iron Chef P). She has been working on her craft for decades, knowing that her cuisine can inspire others to do their best.

Finally we have Chef Cho–Ice (Iron Chef C). He has mastered the process of cooking over a long period of time, knowing that every step he took would lead him to another.

Iron Chefs, your challenge is to create a truly unique dish that represents the best of all three of you. You have 50 minutes on the clock. Your time.. starts.. now!

Hello Judges. We present Hareesh a la Ragav

Chef EF: To begin with, we really wanted to bring some structure to the overall presentation. I was in charge of shaping this dish, though certain aspects of the dish were quite immune to change. We tried roasting it over a negative wood flame and it just wouldn't take in that negative smokiness that you would expect. We also tried some rationale and EM (emotional maturity) dicing, which seemed to work for this dish.

Chef P: We wanted to imagine what this dish could be before we even began. Once we had our vision, we couldn't stop until the time was called. We used several teaspoons of self-aspiration and humility. There is also a hint of hope sprinkled in but it is mostly the persistence & action seasoning that comes through with every bite.

Chef C: I mainly focused on the fine details. We went for an immaculate finish with a particular structure, but we also mixed in heaps of authenticity, morals, and perseverance. Finally, we garnished this dish with Integrity.

What an incredibly unique dish!
