The iron chef discussion thread

[IronChefShark 2]

this is the thread we discuss all things Iron Chef!

kid, youre not even WORTH the effort!

[GMac 19]

hey whatever happened to Iron Chef USA... i saw teh turkey battle and that was it

[Suigi 0]

I'm watching the King of Iron Chefs tournament on Food Network Canada.

My god...such incredible dishes...

Those Japanese really know how to slather on the drama!

[IronChefShark 2]

Im wondering why cheese has never been used as a theme ingredient...

(patiently waits for bosox to chime in.....)

I personally thought Iron Chef USA sucked. William Shatner is no chairman. Also i just like saying Chen Kenichi.

[IronChefShark 2]

only takeshi kaga could make biting a raw yellow bell pepper cool!

[Ez Street 1]

i'm just glad Shatner didn't bite into a Tribble or something....... "Spock........hand...me....the....red snapper.."

Man it's hard typing like Shatner talks.

Shark if you don't know you might find this disturbing.....

yeah I know for a fact that Kaga's role was pure fiction. his contract with fuji tv must have ran out and he chose not to sign on for another year or two. all the cooking and commentating however, isnt a stage. they were really doing battle.

what floors me is how kishi, hosoki, and fukui had to act out as if kaga really did pass on funeral attire and all. not to mention how he passed on (bad fugu!!! classic!)

now I dont know if any of you are familiar with WWE (or WWF as it used to be called), but doesnt the new chairman look dead on like matt hardy?

:laugh:

Actually, the reason Kaga got killed off what because Kaga needed more time for his plays in Tokyo.

If memory serves me right, he's currently the lead role in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde over there. Naturally, there's no time for IC in his schedule. Smart way to kill him off, though.

And did anyone notice that Motoki Kaga now bites into a RED bell pepper?

[IronChefShark 2]

I wish they would show some of the post-takeshi kaga era episodes over here.

I did read some archives on an IC fan site that fugu was indeed a theme ingredient on a show. I didnt think they had the nads to try that, but they did!

[Ez Street 1]

i agree i wish they would show the new episodes with Motoki Kaga. I'd like to see how flamboyant he is. You know i always thought Chairman Kaga had  Michael Jackson syndrome......

Actually...

They stopped regular production of the show after the King of Iron Chefs tournament in 1999.

Since then, Kitchen Stadium has opened sporadically for the Millenium Cups in 2000-2002.

I think the 2003 one should be filming sometime soon...

[IronChefShark 2]

damn....Suigi is quite the IC expert!

okay, you can have the wardrobe, but not my bell pepper!

Shark if you don't know you might find this disturbing.....

Why do I have a feeling the theme ingredient that day was Kaga?

/lector.

lol!

Nice funnee, Clemente.

Yeah, I kinda rented the book on IC (there is one) from my local library, and visited all the sites on it.

http://www.ironfans.com is one of the best.

Heck, I even did an IC competition at the camp where I worked!

Fave chef: Kobe.

[IronChefShark 2]

kobe likes to run his mouth when he cooks doesnt he?

I can recall several occasions when he would talk smack to the challenger directly rather then through ohta like sakai does

I cant really say I have a favorite. I like watching Morimoto because of the crazy things he whips up, and its fun watching Chen Kenichi fire up that wok and put that hot bean paste on everything.

but that michiba, damn that guy never loses!

*BRILLIANT IDEA*

Why doesn't someone make an IC uniform template?!

*BETTER IDEA*

???

Why didn't anyone come up with that sooner?!

[IronChefShark 2]

well in a little less then an hour on food network USA, the blue crab battle will start.

man I hope its not another sakai battle! hes beginning to annoy me!  :angry:

and on the subject of IC uniforms, I wonder what Iron Chef Mexican would be wearing!  

[Suigi 0]

Actually, there WAS a challenger from a Mexican restaurant wearing orange and green.

The restaurant was La Casita.

It was the Mango Battle.

The IC opponent was Kobe.

He won in a 5-0 sweep.

I have no life.

But I'm dead serious about the template.

RC, get to work! j/k

[IronChefShark 2]

well, its michiba.....and I actually think he loses this one!  

check out kaga's getup! the man can dress cant he!
