Kikkoman and "The Next Iron Chef" Sweeten 'Secret Ingredient Challenge'
SAN FRANCISCO - (BUSINESS WIRE) - On last night's "The Next Iron Chef: Super Chefs," Chef Anne
Burrell and Chef Geoffrey Zakarian battled to create sweet desserts that
incorporated Kikkoman Panko Bread Crumbs and Kikkoman Lime Ponzu - both
typically associated with Asian-savory cuisine - in unique, unexpected
ways. Today, Kikkoman and Food Network are teaming up to make it easy
for homecooks to have some fun in their very own kitchens - for 48 hours
following the show, viewers can log on to the Food Network website to
download a $3.00-off coupon that is redeemable for either of the
products. The coupon will be available for download for 48 hours
starting on December 4, 2011 at 6:45pm PT.
"This was a unique opportunity for us to show 'foodies' and everyday
cooks the many unexpected, different ways Kikkoman products can be used,
and to encourage them to try the products at home in these new ways,"
said Kikkoman's Mike Evans, vice president of sales and marketing.
The chefs in this 'Secret Ingredient Challenge' had just 30 minutes to
create the dessert. They then presented their creation to the judges,
and ultimately, Chef Geoffrey Zakarian was named the winner of the
challenge.
"Both of the chefs showed just how easy it is to use the products in new
ways in sweet applications, and frankly, they wowed us all with the
ingenuity and creativity in the desserts they created," said Evans.
