On Feb. 24, at 10 p.m, Chef Kevin Rathbun (pictured) and his brother, Chef Kent Rathbun, will make their debut on Iron Chef. The two chef siblings will be paired together to battle an unannounced Iron Chef.

The Rathbun brothers will have one hour to prepare five different dishes with the “secret ingredient” that the Food Network introduces to the chefs. Trey Wilcox, who is the chef de cuisine of Abacus, will assist the brotherly duo.

“We will be ready for anything that they hand to us with the hopes of beating the Iron Chef,” says Kevin Rathbun, owner of Rathbun’s, Krog Bar and Kevin Rathbun Steak in Atlanta. Kent Rathbun is the owner of Abacus and Jaspers, in Dallas, Tex.

This press release just in from the Rathbun’s folks:

On September 6th, Chef Kevin Rathbun along with his brother, Chef Kent Rathbun will travel to New York and battle against the “Unknown” in the Food Network’s Iron Chef competition. The two chef siblings will be paired together to battle against two “Secret Chefs” that have yet to be announced. In the televised competition (no known televised date yet), the chefs will have one hour to prepare five different dishes with the “secret ingredient” that the Food Network will present to the chefs. Kevin Rathbun says, “My brother and I will be ready for any curve ball that will be thrown at us and we will be ready to see who will reign the Iron Chef.”

Rathbun is not the first Atlanta chef to do battle in Kitchen Stadium. Both Richard Blais of Element and Linton Hopkins of Restaurant Eugene have appeared on “Iron Chef” in recent years.
