Why did they never have an Indian challenger on the show?
Imagine the smell.
>>220556055Indian food in Japan was associated with British food for a long time. Japan is just overly xenophobic that this show really didn't understand the different types of cuisines of the world. You should watch the Yōsei Watanabe episode. He makes amazing tex mex style foods and spoilers, loses hard in some of the most scathing points differences. Japan was not ready for spicy rice and savory beans. I remember one of the challengers teachers saying to the effect there's 3 kinds of cuisine, Chinese, Japanese and European. This guy ran a school. Really you can separate cuisine types into.>Chinese>Japanese>French>Italian/Mediterranean >Indian>Mexican(Tex Mex) They never had an Greek chefs on to highlight the difference and expansion of what "Italian" could be.
what the fuck was sakai's problemo?
>>220558146Sakai is the GOAT.
>>220558146Amazing that he and the Jap one are still alive. This seems like ancient history by now.
>>220556055Anyone ever found a physical copy of this?

>>220558146He's not Chen Kenichi.
the only times I’ve seen indians on cooking shows is chopped and they usually lose on the first round due to hygiene errors. One dude basically shredded his hands, bleeding all over the food, and they gave him a second chance, and he did it again.
>>220558133Japan understands the difference, we just don't care pajeet
>>220558133>>220560003Japanese curries are milder-flavored versions of British-Chinese takeaway A challenger specializing in SEA foods like Thai, Indonesian, Malay, Vietnamese, etc, would be more competitive with Japanese chefs since those all prioritize fresh ingredients, preparations which would have been associated with aristocracy and foods only an emperor would have access to
>>220559969tbf, I.C. had cuts all the time, and you'd see them bleeding. Today it would never pass, and they'd probably just CGI it out; but back then, it's not like they'd just stop the show for a few days/weeks while it healed and re-shoot. On with the show!
>>220559595So, uh, you don't know of one? This is my favorite show. If anyone can spoon-feed a retard, I'd be forever grateful.
>>220560167You asked for a physical iron chef.Anon delivered.
