Congratulations to Higley High School grad Julie Fiedler (right) and her International Culinary School classmates at the Art Institute of Phoenix, Katelyn Remick and Tyler Burke.

The trio may have lost their culinary battle against Michael Symon on the Food Network’s popular “Iron Chef America” Sunday, but the magnanimous Iron Chef offered them a sweet consolation prize: internships at his prestigious Cleveland restaurant Lola.

Sunday’s battle marked the first time culinary students had competed against an Iron Chef on the TV show. The featured ingredient was balsamic vinegar.

You can catch repeats of the hour-long episode featuring Fiedler, who also attended the East Valley Institute of Technology, and her teammates at 8 p.m. Thursday, 3 a.m. Friday, 4 p.m. and 11 p.m. Saturday and 2 a.m. Sunday on the Food Network.

Iron Chef America

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.
