POSTED: Tuesday, August 7, 2012, 1:54 PM

The premier of the fifth season of Next Iron Chef is still a while away (November 4th to be exact) but Food Network has released a the list of cheftestants today. This upcoming season is all about redemption, so you'll be seeing quite a few familiar faces.

Nate Appleman: San Fran chef now consulting for Chipotle.

Alex Guarnaschelli: Chopped judge, Food Network regular.

Amanda Freitag: see above.

Eric Greenspan: soul patch sporting chef at The Foundry in L.A.

Jehangir Mehta: chef at New York's Graffiti and absurdly named Mehtaphor.

Elizabeth Falkner: Food Network stalwart, feels like she's been on every season of NIC.

Spike Mendelsohn: fedora'd former Top Cheffer, currently in D.C. running We the Pizza and Good Stuff Eatery

Tim Love: telegenic Texan.

Marcel Vigneron: everyone's favorite Top Chef molecular gastro-villian.

You'll notice that this list is missing the tenth contestant, that's because there's going to be an online competition for the slot. In the running are Duske Estes, Robert Trevino, Lee Anne Wong and Madison Cowan, the most intriguing Chopped contestant to date.
