I recently threw a shindig to kick off the new season of The Next Iron Chef. Although it’s too late to replicate this for a premier party, you can take everything I did and use it to throw your own season finale party. The finale will be aired December 18th.
Make your guest list and send out an Evite.

What went down:
- Everyone chose a chef from this seasons NIC and made an appetizer from one of their recipes.
- After having fun tasting all of the gourmet goodies, we voted to see who was “our” Next Iron Chef.
- I made wine charms with all the contestant chefs photos on them. Also attached to the glasses were mini keys that unlocked a box with a secret ingredient for them to take home. You had to take your key and keep trying to open locks until you found the one yours opened. This was a lot of fun and great party favor for the occasion.
- After eating and mingling we watched the season premier together.



I hope you will be inspired to host an Iron Chef party for your family and friends!
