Iron Chef America Frozen Meals Coming Soon

Iron Chef America is the next brand looking to capitalize on the frozen food industry.  A press release put out today announced a frozen food line called 'À La Cuisine' that will be in US supermarkets soon.  There are currently 8 different frozen meal kits that include: Butter Chicken, Spicy Szechuan Chicken, Chicken Garam Masala, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Sesame Beef, Mongolian Beef, Thai Green Curry Beef, and Mandarin Orange Beef.

According to the website set up for the meals, they are not created by an Iron Chef, but rather inspired by Iron Chefs.  A chef named Anthony created the meals, and judging by the 8 flavors above, he only watched battle chicken and battle beef.

It looks like Ina Garten will have some competition for her Barefoot Contessa frozen meals.
