...been too long since you've heard the word golly! uttered without irony, head to Faribault, Minn., a hamlet one hour south of the Twin Cities, and ask for Rod LeVake. Maybe LeVake will meet you for some apple pie at the Happy Chef and talk a little football. Whatever you chat about, he will be solicitous of your opinion and take pains not to overwhelm you with his. Of his job teaching high school science, he says, "It's just kinda fun to teach kids, to kinda show them how complex living things are, I guess. That's what...
...network went a little overboard in its excitement, taping a one-hour special (also to air on June 25, at 9 p.m. E.T.) about Iron Chef's trip to the U.S., which includes a very weird visit to the home of Nina and Tim Zagat, the restaurant-guide magnates, who served as tasting judges on the Flay show (joined by Donna Hanover and a randomly selected audience member).

Mothershead was dressed in a homemade facsimile of Morimoto's silver robe and hat that looked either more or less ridiculous on him, depending on how long you thought about...

"He is not a chef," Morimoto declared after seeing Flay, upon completing his meal, jump on a table, point his palms toward the sky and yell, "Raise the roof, yo!" to the audience. Morimoto walked away disgusted. "He stood upon the cutting board. Cutting boards and knives are sacred to us," Morimoto said. Imagine what the Japanese would make of screaming Cajun chef Emeril Lagasse...
