The second dish the female taster looks like she is pained to eat it... To me this was one of the slowest paced Iron Chef battles ever... Although being one of if not the most talented Iron Chef Ishinabe really looks throughout this battle he was very strained for time... Though clam on the surface I've read that Ishinabe was always complaining about the short cooking time, and how French Food requires more than an hour to cook...
This episode was hilarious. The judge on the left is a complete pervert, and all the dishes make him think of women and creamy skin. The Iron Chef sounds high as hell, and they went on for 5 minutes too long judging the first dish.
I lol'd when the female judge said "I'd like to make this at home". That was a backhanded compliment lol
You can really tell this was a battle from 1993. This was only the 9th episode ever taped. So much time spent on the tasting. And I still don't get why the American version says it's a 60 minute battle when in 1993 the battles were only --30 minutes-- long.
I don't understand why they only made 2 dishes each. They had the full hour and chicken is not that difficult to prep compared to episodes featuring live eels and live seafood. This episode annoyed me somewhat but thanks for the post anyway.
Jesus Christ, 10 minutes on fucking carrots. This is a terrible episode. The challenger's dish is pretty, but it's basically ratatouille, thrown in a food processor with a boring, dated truffle-laced excuse for a chicken breast on top.
the theme, 2 me, seems more like truffle rather than chicken. now, i'd rather think that french people don't know how to cook chicken like americans do.
The announcer for the dishes describes Ishinabe's chicken as having "truffle slices lodged under the skin." Sounds like an emergency room diagnosis of an accident victim.
During the judgment, the challenger is standing there like, "Mon dieu! I've been standing here for hours listen to you people ramble about three slices of chicken, at least give me a chair!"
look JGT it was the first year! If you watched part two, you would only see 4 CHICKENS! 4! Compare that to the later episodes with 10 chickens. The first era of any show isn't expected to be good, but over time they improve everything and it becomes a hit! Don't slam it for small portions, they didn't want to go over budget on a show no body might watch!
Yeah Ishinabe was only challanged 7 or 8 times. He never lost either. It's all in the Iron CHef Book, wi=hich I can say I proudly own. It has a list of all the episodes, Challengers, which Iron Chef they fought, and who won! It also has bio's of all the iron Chef's, and many of the chalengers!!
Very very good, very good. Very very good. It's very good. Sorry that I'm repeating myself, but it's very very good. It's very very good. Very very, VERY good.
Pretty sure they're only rambling on and on to fill up air-time since they only have 3 chicken dishes to comment on. Can't have the show running too short!
well, i've heard the early episodes were only 30 minutes in running, and this was a very early episode. for the US dub, they added more clips of what the judges thought of their dishes. since that was the case, maybe they should have added more clips of them cooking. i personally didn't like them rambling on much either. it almost felt like it was longer than the actual cooking.
Iron Chef went through a phase were it was all truffles and fois gras. In retrospect, that was lame. But they evolved with the times and grew. Fine cooking is about growing ideas.
They always talk about masking the smell or taste. Why is this? Especially since they have one choice ingredient which the competitors are sometimes praised for masking.
the judges are so repetitive and seem to be desperate to find something intelligent to say, poor challenger guy (and the iron chef)who had to stand there and listen to amateurs trying to make themselves sound like professionals.
when the woman was commenting, borie's expression was like, "so what, you are a japanese actress, what do you know about french cooking , eh? f8ck you!(insert robin williams french accent here)" lol
why is it that the iron chefs are always incorporating 'japanses style' to their dishes?? no wonder they always win.... coz the judges are japanese peepz... if it's italian cuisine, it should be purely italian... >:-I
Snooooze....skip to part 5.

You gotta wonder how good a writer that novelist is when the only metaphor he can come up with is to compare chicken to a lady.

first, why the french accent for translation, I would rather prefer it in french than in some unaudible crap
second, 1 dish in 1 hour? wow, and he got some medal before apparently -.-
