The Inappropriate Behavior of John Besh
John Besh’s conduct was so inappropriate that he was edited out of his own show. In January 2018, an episode of Iron Chef Showdown was aired in which Besh popped up only in the background occasionally. The episode had been filmed in 2017, and since then, production had edited out John.

It turns out that more than twenty-five of Besh’s restaurant employees had accused the chef of misconduct. Furthermore, they alleged that he also notoriously hired into Besh Restaurant Group other cooks with lousy form. When these accusations surfaced, the show’s executives had no choice but to edit him out.
