Martin Blunos

Television work Blunos now concentrates on consultancy and television work. He is a regular contributing chef on Food Poker and a guest chef on Cooks. He is also associated with Great Food Live, Food Uncut, Saturday Kitchen, The Supersizers Eat... and Iron Chef UK. Prior to appearing on Iron Chef, Blunos watched some episodes of Iron Chef America but thought that the chefs on the British version were equal to their American counterparts. He was the first "Iron Chef" to be selected on the show and appeared in the opening episode. He also had his own show, Tasting Times with Martin Blunos.

Blunos also competed in Iron Chef Thailand several times as a challenger chef, since February 2018. Following his good results as a challenger (2 wins, 2 losses) and his contribution to the development of the program, he has been promoted to the new Iron Chef Thailand since October 2022.

Personal life Blunos sports a walrus moustache, which the media has stated makes him instantly recognisable. Although he once said that if he was ever to get a short hair cut that he'd remove it, as he was concerned it would leave him looking like a member of the Village People. Martin is also a Bristol City F.C. fan.
