Iron Chef Champ Kerry Simon Passes Away At The Age Of 60 Sad news to report in the food world… Via NY Daily News : Kerry Simon, a former “Iron Chef” champ who served up dishes to rock bands such as Led Zeppelin and Mötley Crüe, has died. He was 60. His business partner, Cory Harwell, said Simon died Friday morning at a hospice in Las Vegas. He was diagnosed with multiple system atrophy, a degenerative neurological disorder, and died from complications related to the disease. Known as the “rock ’n’ roll chef,” Simon appeared on “Iron Chef America” in 2005 and beat Cat Cora in a hamburger challenge. Harwell says Simon didn’t let his illness keep him from doing what he wanted to, which was open restaurants. Simon operated restaurants at several Las Vegas hotels, including Palms Place and Harrah’s. Condolences to the family of this incredibly talented chef. DENISE TRUSCELLO/WIREIMAGE
