@spinebreakerchick Because it is very controversial. Lots of people don't like Metz, and don't like CIA's approach to the CMC designation. Most don't think they need to know Escoffier in order to be the best at what they do.
This had all the makings of a "super battle", but I think chairman Kaga blew it by selecting nato as the theme ingredient. I know the contest is a 1 hour battle but give these 2 a 3 hour time limit and give them an ingredient like duck, kobe beef or lamb and lets see what happens. Michiba is a deadly chefsassin though.
hmmm but I can see why natto was chosen, it's such a strange ingredient, its hated by a lot of people, even in Japan. I think it's to showcase what they both can do with any ingredient.
but yes, this did have makings for a super battle, michiba and ishikawa? they're both amazing.
Strongest challenger...

Have you ever noticed that no one ever challenges iron chef Italian.

@Johnnybomb1 IC Italian was not a part of the show at this time. They just used the standard opening for the dub version.

ehh I mean the chairman guy is just an impersonation. He doesn't create Iron Chef, he works to be the actor of being the chairman of Iron Chef

How is he not a real person? He is an actor yes, but his real name is Kaga and he is technically the chairman since he did make the show..
