Door Knock Dinners

Door Knock Dinners is a program that aired on Food Network in the late 1990s.[clarification needed] The program featured Gordon Elliott taking a guest chef (or himself) into the home of a busy person/household and cooking the family a dinner using only the items they had in their home.

The Door Knock Dinners guest chef list includes the following:

  • Paula Deen – her appearance on the show led to her debuting her own show, Paula's Home Cooking, in November 2002.
  • Tyler Florence
  • Rokusaburo Michiba and Masaharu Morimoto – appeared on the show and prepared dinner for a family in Rye, New York ahead of Morimoto's first Iron Chef battle against Bobby Flay in New York City, which Elliott was the English-speaking MC for. The show adapted many Iron Chef mechanics in honor of them, including graphics and announcers as if the challenge were a Kitchen Stadium battle, and footage from the show was used in the Iron Chef New York Special, including the original Japanese version that aired on Fuji TV.[1]
