We already watched chef Jose Garces wax Bobby Flay on Iron Chef America and scoop up a Best Chef Mid-Atlantic Award from the James Beard Foundation. Now comes word that the multi-restaurant wonder will appear as one of 10 contestants on the upcoming season of The Next Iron Chef, debuting October 4 on Food Network.

The rest of the contestants, via the release:

The ten contestants include: Nate Appleman (Chef/Butcher, New York, NY), Dominique Crenn (Chef de Cuisine, Luce at InterContinental San Francisco, San Francisco, CA), Brad Farmerie (Executive Chef, Double Crown, Madam Geneva, PUBLIC and The Monday Room, New York, NY), Amanda Freitag (Executive Chef, The Harrison, New York, NY), Jose Garces (Executive Chef & Owner, Amada, Tinto, Distrito, Chifa, Philadelphia, PA), Eric Greenspan (Executive Chef & Owner, The Foundry on Melrose, Los Angeles, CA), Jehangir Mehta (Executive Chef & Owner, Graffiti, New York, NY), Seamus Mullen (Executive Chef & Partner, Boqueria Flatiron and Boqueria Soho, New York, NY), Holly Smith (Chef & Owner, Cafe Juanita and Poco Carretto Gelato, Kirkland, WA) and Roberto Trevi�o (Executive Chef & Owner, Budatai, San Juan, PR).

To the food-TV-geek Meal Ticket readers wondering why Garces wasn't participating on Top Chef Masters � how do you think you think a nod for The Next Iron Chef stacks up to a slot on show? Let us know in the comments.
