Iron Chef America returns with host Alton Brown

Iron Chef America returns with a new 10-episode season at 9 p.m. today on Food Network.

Overseen by host Alton Brown, each stand-alone episode pits an up-and-coming chef competitor against an elite Iron Chef in a secret ingredient battle in Kitchen Stadium. Joining Brown and the Chairman (Marc Dacascos) this season is Chef Jet Tila, who will serve as floor reporter. Each week guest judges taste the offerings and determine "whose cuisine reigns supreme."

In the season premiere, Chef Brittany Anderson, who is known as Richmond, Va.'s schnitzel queen, battles one of the Chairman's best -- Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli. Antonia Lofaso and Simon Majumdar serve as judges.

Viewers can go to FoodNetwork.com/IronChefAmerica for videos of Tila as he demonstrates essential cooking skills, and Brown puts viewers' knowledge to the test.
