Montreal man sharpens his knives for Next Iron Chef


In interviews promoting his appearance on Iron Chef this past spring, Canadian chef Chuck Hughes was quick to emphasize that he wasn't necessarily appearing on the Food Network juggernaut to represent his homeland so much as his hometown: Hughes is, after all, a fierce Montrealer. But now that Hughes is poised to make his triumphant return to Kitchen Stadium as a contestant on The Next Iron Chef: Super Chefs, he is showing a bit more national pride.

"I don't know how much emphasis they'll put on the fact that I'm a Canadian chef - I'm not sure if that's going to be the focus for me," Hughes says over the phone.
