Talk about tough assignments: Three students from The International Culinary School at the Art Institute of Phoenix take on famed chef Michael Symon on TV’s “Iron Chef America.”
The students - Katelyn Remick (picture above in center), 21, originally from Newport, Wash., Tyler Burke, 24, from McPherson, Kan., and Phoenix native Julie Fiedler, 20 - already have filmed the competition in the Food Network’s Kitchen Stadium.
The episode, which will air Sept. 27, marks the first time “Iron Chef America” has featured culinary students as competitors. The students are sworn to secrecy about the outcome.
The Art Institute, 2233 W. Dunlap Ave., Phoenix, is planning several events to celebrate the students’ achievement.
The public can meet the competing students at open houses at 9 a.m. Saturday or 6 p.m. Sept. 29.
On Oct. 6 and 7, the institute’s Gallery Cafe will host 7 p.m. dinners featuring the four courses the students made during the show. Cost is $49.95. Reservations: (602) 331-7500.

Good luck little bro! I’m proud of u and can’t wait to see show
EVIT is very proud that Julie Fiedler is one of our Culinary Arts grads. Way to go, Julie!!! We’ll be watching!
Julie:
Congratulations on your accomplishment. You make Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP), Arizona so proud to see you shine at The Art Institute
of Phoenix with the scholarship award you received. Will be watching!
this is bull, the fact that they allows these students to compete with a chef is rediculous. how about putting some people on the show that actually know what its like to work in a professional kitchen. this just in kids - culinary school is nothing like the real world.
Hey John…………….Oct 2
For your information the student Chefs do have experiance in REAL professional kitchens. I know for a fact that Julie Fiedler worked at Trader Vic’s (in the p. kitchen) at the Hotel Westward Ho in Scotssdale, Arizona and before that at Duel Restaurant in Gilbert, Az. Katie and Tylor have also worked in the industry.
