# A Canadian Takes Stage In Iron Chef America

21 February 2005 · Ray Slakinski

Last night chef [Rob Feenie](http://www.foodtv.ca/tv/hosts/hostdetails/host_24185.asp) stepped into the [kitchen stadium](http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_ia/text/0,,FOOD_16696_27031,00.html) to face off against [Masaharu Morimoto](http://www.chefmorimoto.com/) using the nights special ingredient of "crab". When I heard what the special ingredient was I was sure that Morimoto would take it, but that proved to be untrue! Our fellow [Canadian Rob Feenie](http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&tab=nn&ie=UTF-8&q=%22iron+chef+america%22+rob+feenie&btnG=Search+News) took out Morimoto with what appeared to be great ease -- which should help the sale of his new cook books and traffic into his restaurants for years to come :)

Update: Good full write up + interview over at the Vancouver Sun (link removed).

Update2: Shannon went to bed early when this aired on Sunday, I watched it again with her last night. I noticed that Rob was all business in the first 10-15 minutes of the show, then after Kevin said something about tension, he seemed to relax a lot and become his old self. It was probably that moment when Rob was really able to make those 5 dishes come through and give him the win.
