The episode, taped months ago while Moore was still with Agraria restaurant, had him going up against Iron Chef Michael Symon.
In the end, Moore won plaudits from the judges for his Thanksgiving-inspired menu, but Symon won the day.
“It was an absolute blast to participate,” Moore told Yeas & Nays. “I am a huge fan of the original Japanese Iron Chef program, and it was a bit of an out-of-body experience to be the chef competing in front of the judges, audience and cameras. The intensity of the show and the concentration required to perform is exhilarating. I am proud to have been part of it.”
