The term Sous Chef is a term that is used to refer to assistant chefs who help the main/head chef. In Iron Chef America the battle is between two head chefs. Each head chef is allowed to bring two other sous chefs. Sometimes other head chefs too come over to help their friends as sous chefs so that they stand a better chance of winning the battle.

I personally like Mario Batali but the recent polls indicate that America's all time favorite is Bobby Flay.
The Iron Chefs in the first season of Iron Chef America included: Bobby Flay, Masaharu Morimoto, Mario Batali, and Cat Cora. Wolfgang Puck also appeared in the mini-series that preceded Season 1.
There were a few chefs. One was Chef Skinner, Colette, Linguini, and Remy.
Yes. Amanda Frietag was on one episode of Iron Chef as the sous chef for Madison Cowan in battle Kale. However, she is not an Iron Chef. She was also part of the Next Iron Chef series in 2012 but was unable to win it. She lost to chef Alex guarnaschelli in the finals.
No. Richard Blais did not win the Iron Chef battle by himself. He competed in Season 3 - Episode 20 against iron chef Mario Batali. The secret ingredient was chickpeas. Batali was able to comfortably defat Blais in the battle. The final judges scores were 51-48 in favor of iron chef Batali. However, in season 8, he joined Iron Chef Cat Cora's team as a sous chef and was part of the winning team
