The first season of Iron Chef (the original Japanese version) was sort of like that: the chefs had absolutely no clue as to what the theme ingredient was going to be. While the theme ingredients weren't necessarily unusual (salmon, foie gras, blowfish, tofu, lobster, etc), the stress of not knowing was hard on the chefs. They eventually went to giving them a list of 5 possible theme ingredients, which gave them a chance to prepare a little.
