>cook theme ingredient just however>add foie gras>add truffles>add caviar>plate it like a fag>drown it in Perigeux sauceOh wow so inventive and unique. Is this really the power of French cuisine?
>>21921872Yeah the original Iron Chefs weren't exactly the high class cooks they were made out to be
>>21921872I just watched the curry episode with him like 30 minutes ago, please get out of my walls
>>21921904Did he just make a chicken curry then cover it in foie gras and truffles?
>>21921917He made chicken curry, but no foie gras or truffles in any of the dishes.Leeks with curry dressingGrilled tilefish with curry sauceChicken curry rice with Chinese hot bean paste and butter rice with raisins and onionsCurry-flavored ice cream with almond slices and raisins
>>21921872What else did you expect out of a nip?
>>21921946I was worried that you’d shot down my point but then I saw that he just decided to abandon French cooking because it was too hard to do with curry. What a traitorous cuck.
>>21921946>everything in a kiddie pool of sauce>asparagus >everything just piled vertically in the middle Sakai is not a French cook. He's not Japanese either. He just repeats the same small amount of specific techniques, ingredients, and dishes over and over. Its mostly Japanese and French but he can't even do alot of the French things every other French chef can, or alot of the Japanese things every other Japanese chef can. Its a weird French chef LARP.He's an OK Iron Chef tho

>>21922641It’s weird because Kenichi is supposedly a far more one-note chef (Sichuan cuisine being very limited by design) and yet he seemed to create far more varied dishes than Sakai.
