Allez Cuisine!I love Iron Chef so much bros. It's one of the comfiest shows of all time. What are your favorite moments?
Usually when the show ended
>>217358315Filtered by the Szechuan Sage, I see.Sad! Many such cases!
>>217358270Giant crab battle
>>217358270who would win a battle of wits and skills between him and Captain Tenneal of MXC?
>>217358270they had the commentator bro compete and he fucked up real bad with a bunch of atrocious dishes like that ass wine or whatever
What a delicious thread! It has a delicate flavor, quite balanced. I think it's a wonderful use of the theme ingredient.
My mother was killed in the blast at Hiroshima and this dish, hmm, makes me wish I had died instead
>>217358648lmao
>>217358270Iron Chef was amazing.Iron Chef America was trash. They stripped away all the theatricality, wonder, and turned it into another mundane cooking show. They also used Food Network chefs that had already had other shows instead of bringing in new talent.
>>217358682I agree, there was a magic to the original. I watched Iron Chef America when I was younger, but it lacked the charm of the Japanese version.
Fukui-san?
>FUKUI SAN!>GO!>The Indian challenger appears to be squatting over the pot and is now defecating into it>Wow you don't see that everyday>It's actually quite common in India. They take a pot of mysterious slop and add feces to it>Ah yes I've seen videos of that on the internet>Fukui san!>Yes>And when I asked challenger Ramjeet if he was worried about the clock he told me he was Michael Wilson from the refund department and that there were hackers in my network>Alright thanks now let's check with the Iron chef
>>217358788I read this in their voices
Are there any other cooking shows that compare to this?
>>217358682>>217358704>Iron Chef America>Very small kitchen stadium>Iron Chefs don't wear any color uniforms. >Just normal chef uniform.>No cool Iron Chef Titles like "Iron Chef France, Iron Chef Italy, Iron Chef Japan" >Only have stupid names like Iron Chef Bobby Fllay. >Ingredients aren't exotic.>No celebrity judges>No recurring judges that have interesting personalities>No rivalries between Iron Chefs and Cooking schools>No cooking schools demanding re-matches for honor and glory. >Just random bozos showing up and making bland dishes >No high stakes feelingThis show is terrible.
>>217358270>What are your favorite moments?The "Backdraft" intros. ALL the intros. From the stock opening repeated at the beginning of every episode, to the chef intros to give the Challenger an option to face, to the Food intros of the secret ingredient.When they had "Backdraft" as its musical score... Iron Chef is in my top 3 favorite television programs ever made.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg1IjbIBXZQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0MKNy42MQM
>>217358788Okay. You made me chuckle and read it in their voices.
Is there a nearby torrent for the original broadcast? I'll happily download all the NHK episodes (and watch them again) if they've got the original soundtrack.
It always amazed me how this guy was an active politician, but made it a point to judge on every single Iron Chef episode.He was part of the Japanese House of Representatives.Doesn't he have a country to run?How does he have time judge food every Iron Chef episode???
>>217359204Bobby Flay really went hard on the TV cooking show empire
>>217359471politicians work like 5 hours per week
>>217359471Trying to think of an American version of thisIt would be like Rand Paul showing up in every episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives to review chili dogs with Guy Fieri lmao
>>217359825>Trying to think of an American version of thisArnold Schwarzenegger?Politicians are "representatives."They don't do work to produce a product, they do work to produce an outcome. And most don't work very hard.
>>217359523when Bobby Flay stands on his cutting board after the battle and you have to hit him with that xenophobic stare
>>217358270i love how Hiroyuki Sakai never wins a lobster battle.
>>217360063What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in Kitchen Stadium, and I've been involved in numerous secret lobster battles, and I have over 300 confirmed lobster kills.
>>217360580Go, Ohta!
>>217359568>>217359471multitasking
Recently enjoyed watching the Lettuce battleThe Italian Iron Chef's theme song is from the Big O soundtrack, also. Pretty coolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_7ecaTHa28
they shoulda done a cheeseburger battle
The dub is so endearing. It should make the show too cheesy to bear, but it elevates itIron Chef is basically an anime
>>217358270>What are your favorite moments?it was such a consistent show.
