It's been a while since I got the Food Network, but when I go back to cable, I know that I'll be ready for the Iron Chef Drinking Game. It differs from your standard TV-based game by dividing your party into teams: Challengers, Iron Chefs and Commentators. Each team has a set of drink-inducing situations to watch for. And as with all good drinking games, everybody wins. A sample:

One drink any time a judge takes his/her first bite of a dish, then his/her eyes get really wide and he/she makes some type of vapid, overexcited comment on the dish such as "This is very good!"

One drink any time a judge that looks like a rap star makes an intelligent and complex critique of one of the dishes.

Two drinks anytime your chef is announced as being the master of some inane ingredient, such as salt.
