One lesson we can learn from all master chef’s lies in their unwavering commitment to excellence and Cat Cora is no exception. She is clearly driven to push the envelope both in and out of the kitchen. As we’ve seen, Cat loves to expose herself to new opportunities, new experiences and new culinary innovations. One thing is for sure, there is a lot more that Cat will pull out of her hat.

[Saad] "What is on the drawing board for you next Cat?"

[Cat] "I hope to expand my fast kitchen concept CCQ (Cat Cora’s ‘que) nationwide. I plan to open several new CCQ sites, as well as introduce my first signature restaurant in mid-2009. I will, of course, also be doing more work worldwide with Chefs for Humanity to help put an end to hunger and provide nutrition education."

In the not too distant future I see new shows coming your way; Iron Entrepreneur, Iron Philanthropist, Iron Author and Iron Mom. I nominate Iron Chef Cat Cora for them all.
