Congrats Wolframs!
Kitchen Stadium “chairman” Mark Dacascos.
Mark Dacascos is the Iron Chef America "Chariman"??? I have to see this show now.
Welcome, Wolframette!
Yay! More Wolframs!

I watched, and maybe it's because I don't get the IC love in general, but it was a huge waste of Dacascos. And I say that as someone who's watched Redline.
Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Wolfram and family! Welcome, new little Wolfram!
Have fun, Dana!
Kalshane, all best luck.

Yeah, being the IC Chairman isn't a typical use of Dacascos, and he doesn't get to do any of the cool stuff we'd normally want to see him do, but part of the charm of IC (for me) is the odd over-seriousness of Chairman Kaga. Somehow, Dascascos is the perfect choice to try and emulate that (in my head, anyway).
Serial to add:
Chairman Kaga always seems like he's in some bizarre kung fu movie that no one else is aware of. Mark Dacascos would be perfect for that, I think.

He's really been shunted to the sidelines in ICA.
He does a faux serious introduction, which is pretty much the same every week. During the tasting he will occasionally say something like "you honor us with your dishes, chef XYZ", but generally stays silent.
I'd say that most of the hosting is done by Alton Brown. That's fine with me, since I am large with the Alton Brown love, but I can see that might be less pleasing to others.
I don't think that Dacascos had the same intensity that the OC (Original Chairman) displayed.
