One episode had a famous chef challenge the Japanese iron chef because they had ideological differences about what trad Japanese food should be. When they asked him to choose the competitor he immediately pointed at iron chef Japan. It was badass
I remember the first time i stumbled across this show when it was running on Saturday at like midnight or 1am and was subtitled. Describing it to people the next day they thought I was making it up.
>For me? >It was always Chef Sakai.
My favorite too, anon. I have never actually eaten anything French/Japanese but he always made it look like such a god tier combination of influences.
Chen Kenichi, the Iron Chef of Chinese cuisine passed away and now his son is in charge of their Chinese restaurant chain which specialize in mapo tofu and dandan noodles.

Man, he was only 67 that sucks. Can't believe Michiba and Sakai are still going. And how Kobe died was just so sad. Amazing how connected I felt to that show. Can't think of another one that really made me feel like I knew the people in it and it's one of the big reasons I'd LOVE to visit Japan, or if I had to move thats the place I'd want to live.
There's a lot of free stuff on YouTube, sometimes legally like Iron Chef but with old TV shows and movies people just straight up upload them illegally and YouTube doesn't care. It all depends on the movie, I always check there because worst case scenario I wasted a couple seconds and have to look for it somewhere else.
Pluto is great for old shows, I watched Hollywood Squares because I used to watch that on TV all the time and I realized "Wait a minute, this actually isn't very good." and it had an obnoxious amount of commercials, which I'm sure is the show's fault because I watched movies on Pluto that didn't have nearly as many commercial breaks. But I'm sure there are some other old shows on Pluto that are good, besides Iron Chef of course.

Unfortunately, no current streaming service contains all 9 seasons of Iron Chef Japan. Iron Chef Japan Specials (2000–2002) and Iron Chef Japan Revival series (2012–2013) continue to remain undistributed outside Japan. Also, after acquiring the rights to dubbed episodes of Iron Chef Japan, FilmRise has started uploading free Iron Chef episodes onto YouTube but without the iconic Iron Chef theme song composed by Hans Zimmer because licensing music from famous composers is expensive.

Incidentally, the Hans Zimmer song wasn't actually made for the show. It was the theme from the movie Backdraft.
Also, I'm not sure if it was originally released this way in America, but the episodes are completely out of order. For example, the first two episodes are from 1998, the sixth season of Iron Chef.
I never saw it, but I heard of it because of this overlooked gem, which lets you visit the worlds of many classic films such as Backdraft and Waterworld for some reason.
Show Me Your Firetruck is the name of the song and I believe it's in the credits somewhere sometimes which is how I figured out the origins since it stuck out.
The American one is what helped me find the Jap version which is one of the best shows ever made. Always liked the crazy shit Morimoto would come up with, couldn't stand Flay and all those morons.
Was just watching through the old series on Amazon (think on FreeVee with all the ads which wasn't horrible but man I hate ads), and actually teared up when the episodes came on that signaled the end of that show. I used to think they should bring it back exactly like the old japanese one, but the world doesn't deserve such awesomeness, and on top of that most of the world wouldn't get it anyway.
The English dub voices cracked me up though. Literally the perfect show. That old man judge in the first few seasons was so harsh, then the weird fortune teller old lady ... cmon its amazing!!
made an ass of himself in typical american fashion. I forget which it was, but he lost 1x then complained like a b***h, and the second time they had him he made an even bigger ass of himself by doing the same shit AND throwing a tray of shit around the set
That's not a poblano
The original nip Iron Chef is one of the comfiest shows in the history of television.
The original nip one is so based
>chefs with grudges challenge people to a cook off in front of live audience
They have grudges? I always got the impression it was pretty friendly.

name of episode?

It brings back memories to think of it. I was in high school when it was still running and I got a couple of my friends hooked.
That's a yellow bell pepper. It's understandable a weeb would be unfamiliar with flavorful foods though.
>Yellow bells
>Flavorful
The white people just arrived. Lol.
>Aku-san
>Yes?
>I've just received word that this poster is a homosexual
>ah yes, that will shit up the thread nicely
I feel sad for you. And all of the other mutt races in the world without tastebuds that have evolved to appreciate even moderately subtle flavors.
t. pussy whit*id that gets the mild sauce
No, it's just called a yellow pepper
He intentionally said the wrong pepper to bait morons like you into responding with some know it all bullshit
>I-I was an idiot on purpose! Please believe me!
Lol sure /misc/tard
hmm
>ALAH CUISINE!
For me?
It was always Chef Sakai.
Chef Morimoto seems cool too though.

tubi
you mean a torrent
So now America, with an open heart and empty stomach, I say unto you in the words of my uncle: 'Allez cuisine!'
same guy?
Why the frick did they pretend that they were related for no reason?
entertainment
Why did they ever bother with an American version in the first place.
>Why did a corporation do something that generated a profit
The American one is what helped me find the Jap version which is one of the best shows ever made. Always liked the crazy shit Morimoto would come up with, couldn't stand Flay and all those morons.

GET IT ON!
I would try those prawns by Chen Kenichi even if they are a meme.
I remember being legitimately hyped for Bobby Flay being on
Finally someone they won't have to dub
How far we have fallen chefbros...
I still remember them being really mad at Bobby Flay because he stood on the counter or something. He always came off as an arrogant prick.
made an ass of himself in typical american fashion. I forget which it was, but he lost 1x then complained like a b***h, and the second time they had him he made an even bigger ass of himself by doing the same shit AND throwing a tray of shit around the set
I think he said later when he was a little older that he was embarrassed by this but I can't remember for sure.
I enjoy when the camera is pulling away and you can see him gagging.
that's a bell pepper you colossal retart
Poblanos make some tasty salsa verde though
See
Hehehe.
>the deadliest iron chef is one who doesn't have to compete
>-sun tzu
he did compete and lost though?
