[edit] Controversy
During the course of The Next Iron Chef, many people perceived Knowlton as being too hard on Chef Aarón Sanchez. Anthony Bourdain said that "Knowlton seems not to have disclosed a prior schoolyard incident with a young Aaron "El Guapo" Sanchez--in which Sanchez (it would appear) bullied him mercilessly. He seemed unnaturally eager to send him packing."[1] Michael Ruhlman referred to Knowlton as 'cranky,' and said Knowlton "is every bit the menace he appears. And it was hard to get to know him off camera—he had a lot of handlers, so it was difficult to get any time with him." Ruhlman intended the comments as a joke, but people responding on his website and others let go on Knowlton with abandon.[2]
