The Next Iron Chef competition has filmed three of its six episodes at the Culinary Institute of America In Hyde Park, New York. The CIA takes an annual summer break, when the students moved out, the Food Network moved in. They commandeered six of their kitchens and started to tape 7 days a week.

"More than 70 people are here on site taping," CIA spokesman Stephan Hengst said. "It is by far the largest scale Food Network production that the CIA has ever been involved with."

Qualifications that the Food Network was looking for - Applicants must have a minimum of 10 years of culinary experience including at least five years at the Executive Chef level, and must be currently employed in the culinary profession in some fashion. Different cuisine styles are encouraged and candidates must have strong, competitive personalities that are appealing to viewers.
