A Little Late But Another Obama/Iron Chef Lie

A couple of years ago, there was an episode of Iron Chef American in which 4 chefs went to the White House and the White House garden to participate in an Iron Chef episode using vegetables from the White House garden. Well, it was a lie.
From the Dallas News: For months, the Food Network ran ads about a forthcoming episode of Iron Chef America, its flagship chefs plus secret ingredient versus time competition. The show would take place at the White House garden, with Michelle Obama making a cameo and plugging her responsible-eating initiative. The network promised it would be its biggest episode ever.
The buildup matched the reality: The Jan. 3 Iron Chef America drew 7.6 million viewers, the highest-rated show in network history. In it, superstar chef Mario Batali teamed with Emeril Lagasse, and Bobby Flay with White House chef Cristeta Comerford to cook five dishes using the secret ingredient: produce from the White House garden.
Except for one thing: As first reported on AOL's Politics Daily blog, the fruits and vegetables used on the show weren't from the White House. They were stunt produce. Ringers.
At the beginning of the two-hour special, the chefs were shown picking sweet potatoes, broccoli, fennel and tomatillos from the White House garden. Then the chefs were seen walking into Kitchen Stadium, produce in hand. One problem: The show is filmed in New York City.
"Due to the production delay between the shoot at the White House and the shoot at Food Network, the produce used in Kitchen Stadium during the 'Super Chef Battle' was not actually from the White House garden," said Food Network spokeswoman Lisa Krueger in a statement to The Talk.
Instead, the chefs used replacement produce, though only the same types of fruits and vegetables picked from the White House garden. http://www.dallasnews.com/entertainment/restaurants/headlines/20100114-Food-Network-admits-Iron-Chef-6895.ece
I know this is old, but this also was not given much publicity at the time.
So, this whole episode was a fraud, kind of like the Obama administration and even Iron Chef, especially they way they are treating the current Next Iron Chef show.
