Iron Chef Appreciation Thread.

runaredlight!  said about 5 years ago  or at  2:04PM on Tuesday, October 10 2006 in television

Five years ago, a man's fantasy became a reality in a form never seen before: Kitchen Stadium, a giant cooking arena. The motivation for spending his fortune to create Kitchen Stadium was to encounter new original cuisines which could be called true artistic creations. To realize his dream, he secretly started choosing the top chefs of various styles of cooking, and he named his men the Iron Chefs: the invincible men of culinary skills. Iron Chef Japanese is Rokusabaru Michiba. Iron Chef French is Hiroyuki Sakai. Iron Chef Chinese is Chen Kenichi. And Masahiko Kobe is Iron Chef Italian. Kitchen Stadium is the arena where Iron Chefs await the challenges of master chefs from around the world. Both the Iron Chef and challenger have one hour to tackle the theme ingredient of the day. Using all their senses, skill, creativity, they are to prepare artistic dishes never tasted before. And if ever a challenger wins over the iron chef, he or she will gain the people's ovation and fame forever. Every battle, reputations are on the line in Kitchen Stadium, where master chefs pit their artistic creations against each other. What inspiration does today's challenger bring? And how will the Iron Chef fight back? The heat will be on!

THERE'S AN IRON CHE BOARD GAME!

Alt text

(From the back of the box)
Welcome to Kitchen Stadium!
Get ready for codfish and tomatoes to strat flying as The Iron Chef: Ultimate Cooking Challenge comes to your home. Based on the hit TV show, Iron Chef, this frentic board game pits four culinary challengers against each other in a race to build the perfect meal!
Do you prefer Chinese? French? Italian? Or how about Japanese? It all begins when the surprise ingredient is revealed. Spin the wheel and race about the board in an attempt to assemble a complete meal - appetizer, main course, and dessert!
The real Iron Chefs chop, dice, and mince - you need to collect, trade, and discard cards to beat your opponents. But pitfalls abound! Watch out for dull knives, burnt vegetables, and stoves that dont work. Complete your meal, enter the inner circle of Kitchen Stadium and await the Judge's decision! Defend your title! Will you be King of the Iron Chef? Allez Cuisine!

I was only watching for Matt Stone anyway.

k2  said about 1 year ago:

Not a single personality on the show. No humor, no charisma, nothing. Dead eyed soulless shell of a show.


Tiger Tiger  said about 1 year ago:

what's the deal with the american japanese dude in the ''chairman'' role? What the fuck went down?


NakedApe  said about 1 year ago:

thought the greenhouse dude deserved to win!

This was a bit tragic, but I will watch it as I am a cooking show tragic!


luke  said about 1 year ago:

Of all the Media/TV ''personalities'' in the world what made them think Grant Denyer was a suitable host?


LoadMyRig  said about 1 year ago:

i love leo schofield.

the need for grant denyer and the practically mute american chairman (10 words tops every episode) is truly baffling.


LoadMyRig  said about 1 year ago:

I love iron chef as much as the next person looks around ok more then the next person.

But i'm not gonna pay $485 for a dinner at the racv club. I wonder who the heck would?


LAMF  said about 9 months ago:

If you can pick up one of those $400 flights to Japan which Jetstar offer every now and then, the other $85 would get you the maestro degustation menu at Sakai's restaurant, La Rochelle in Shibuya which is a much better deal.


k2  said about 9 months ago:

Hmmm $485 eh?

Hmmmmmmm


k2  said about 9 months ago:

I'd rather do this than go to splendor


Yoofersair  said about 9 months ago:

Hey does anyone know where I can buy pickled plum paste in Melbourne? I am a pickled plum paste virgin but it sounds hot. Help. Please.


LAMF  said about 9 months ago:

And you can go to Kenichi's restaurant too.
If you can read japanese the website is
http://www.sisen.jp/
and if you can't you can find it at the following address.
Tokyo
Chiyoda Ku
Hirakawa cho

I'd love to see dude biting a capsicum IRL. can you arrange this also?


k2  said about 7 months ago:

The biggest epic fail episode of Iron Chef ever is on right now.

Morimoto is such a cunt.


k2  said about 7 months ago:

Oh no wait, I thought it was the boys festival episode where he makes hot dogs.


k2  said about 7 months ago:

Also IRON CHEFS in melbourne right now!


TimChuma  said about 7 months ago:

But i'm not gonna pay $485 for a dinner at the racv club. I wonder who the heck would?

A friend has done this twice already, but he also would go looking for the theme ingredient each week after the show (Natto is hard to find in Australia.)


k2  said about 7 months ago:

Anyone seen the japanese cooking show Dotch? It's great - very iron chef-ish.
