Kings of Leon front man Caleb Followill is already a master of arena concerts, but who knew he knows a thing or two about the kitchen? The singer filmed an episode of “Iron Chef: America” about a year ago, but it finally aired last night (Oct. 17) on The Food Network, with Followill lending his palette as a guest judge for the “veal secret ingredient” challenge.

The singer was very much the Southern gentleman and never had a truly negative thing to say about any of the dishes except for, “It needed a little more salt.” Followill seemed most impressed with the hot stone veal tenderloin to which he commented, “Immediately, the first thing I was thinking was about the rosemary and the veal. It was beautiful.”
We were almost hoping for Followill to break out with “Your veal is on fiiiiire,” but no such luck. Hey Caleb, maybe you could cook us a veal dinner sometime? We’ll bring the salt.
