Welcome to Kitchen Stadium! A veritable pantheon of culinary greats have come before us to defend these hallowed halls against countless competitors from all manner of culinary inspiration. These Iron Chefs have maintained a legacy of integrity and the highest level of competition.

With Netflix announcing a new program entitled Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend, five new Iron Chefs have joined that legendary pantheon of chefs to defend Kitchen Stadium against new challengers. Those Iron Chefs have now been identified in a new article from PEOPLE Magazine. Those five new Iron Chefs are Curtis Stone, Marcus Samuelsson, Gabriela Camara, Dominique Crenn, and Ming Tsai.

Curtis Stone has earned a Michelin Star and has appeared on Food Network before, hosting the show Kitchen Casino. He lost in his only battle in Kitchen Stadium, losing to Iron Chef Bobby Flay.

Marcus Samuelsson is a longstanding member of the Food Network family, serving as a long-term judge on the show Chopped. He lost in his one battle in Kitchen Stadium, losing to Iron Chef Bobby Flay. He competed in Season 6 of The Next Iron Chef, finishing 6th in his season.

Gabriela Camara is a cookbook author and the only one of the new Iron Chefs without having experienced battle in Kitchen Stadium.

Dominique Crenn is the first woman in the United States to receive 3 Michelin Stars. She has competed in Kitchen Stadium, defeating Iron Chef Michael Symon.

Ming Tsai is probably the best known of the new Iron Chefs. An Emmy award-winning TV chef, Tsai hosted the shows East Meets West and Simply Ming. Tsai has competed in Kitchen Stadium previously, beating Iron Chef Bobby Flay in Battle Duck. He also competed in Season 3 of Next Iron Chef, finishing third, behind Marco Canora and Season 3 winner, Iron Chef Marco Canora.

Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend is the newest version of Iron Chef in the United States. Unlike Iron Chef America, which were standalone battles, Quest for an Iron Legend is an eight-episode series where the most successful challenger from the first seven episodes returns to try to become the first-ever Iron Legend.

Returning from Iron Chef America is Marc Dacascos, the Chairman, who has been the Chairman since the beginning of Iron Chef America. Dacascos’s Chairman has been presented as the nephew of Chairman Takeshi Kaga from the Japanese version of Iron Chef.

Also returning is Alton Brown, who has served as the commentator for Iron Chef America since the beginning. He is being joined on commentary by Top Chef season 10 winner Kristen Kish.

Andrew Zimmern and Nilou Motamed will serve as permanent judges with a rotating cast of guest judges. Guest judges include Wolfgang Puck, Masaharu Morimoto, Nancy Silverton, Francis Lam, Justin Willman and Lorena Garcia. Aside from culinary legends, comedians and actors will also take the judges' table, from Loni Love to Danny Trejo.

Iron Chef: Quest for the Iron Legend premieres on June 15 on Netflix.
