Iron Chef: Mexico has just landed on Netflix! The fast-paced and exciting cooking show, which is well loved by audiences, is now set to showcase Mexican cuisine for all you cooking show fans out there.

Eight episodes of the show have been released so far and if that isn’t enough, Iron Chef: Quest For An Iron Legend and Iron Chef Brazil are also available to watch on Netflix.

There’s certainly no shortage of cooking programs at the moment, but our focus is on Iron Chef: Mexico.

What to expect from the series

The Mexican version will follow the same premise as the other Iron Chef programs.

All chefs will compete in a studio, each ‘battling’ the ‘Iron Chef’. Every chef hopes to impress a rotating panel of judges with their cuisine. Contestants use skill and creativity under immense time pressure to prepare different dishes.

For the unversed, an Iron Chef is an already-established chef who goes head-to-head with the contestants.

All the chefs will compete until a winner is declared and whoever comes out on top is gifted with a Katana. the long sword is associated with the Japanese Samurai and acknowledges the country where the show first originated.
