OK, there are quite a few differences too.

Nice analogy. As a Food Network junkie and Iron Chef addict, this was particularly appealing to me. I've used mise en place as a metaphor for iteration 0 in the past... I'm sure there are other lessons from the food world that apply.
The retrospective occurs, I imagine, just is not televised. I presume it's done over Ouzo (for Cat Cora) or similar refreshments post-competition.
One adjustment I'd make is to use the agile terms instead of the scrum branded terms, because the analogy extends to a broader audience. Plus, I generally dislike the scrum terms... they come across as cult-ish (e.g. scrum master, daily scrum).
What is "mise en place"?
I don't have a problem with the scrum terms, and I'd think that these have a broader audience than the more common XP terms used at TW.
Haven't you noticed that TW is a cult? :)
