Iron Chef - France Battle Special (6 of 10)

[Jo221xavier]

It makes me laugh thinking that the audience sat there waiting for 24 hours until the chefs came back... LOL

[WanderLink]

Wow, it's like a reversal of tradition. Usually the French are overly arrogant and the Japanese are overly humble. Here Sakai's acting kind of like a cocky prick and Pierre is saying he needs to be humble to keep his dishes delicate.

[violinasama]

I'm like 4 years after but thanks for uploading this special French battle ! It is a very good show.

[thegoodgeneral]

So much Yoko Kanno music from Escaflowne and Macross Plus. Love it.

[gurubhai01]

goddamm love the dubbing-comme-french-accent...

[HabitsofLife]

Olivier Roellinger at 6:33!!

[noobdles]

Awesome Battle!!!

[swiffstep]

seriously kaga is the man!! this feels like a medieval battle! using a stage coach!! totally love his concepts, they are always genius and very classy. makes every battle seem so legendary

[fire1202]

I LOL'ed at Sakai fixing his hair all the time and his "Fuck yeah! Let's do this!" fistpump when they revealed the theme ingredient.

[CCTV9]

3 star is considered high?

[InnuendoXP]

@CCTV9

Watch the Marco Pierre White videos 'Marco Cooks for-'

It's a series from the 80's but it shows the amount of sheer dedication, personal resolve AND the talent you need to get even one star. Cooking has to be a life, not a job and you still have to be lucky.

Lol, and you see Gordon Ramsey as an apprentice in the background

[nikandnana]

The taste of the oyster lasts about 15 minutes! I want that!

[MrAzri95]

Wow. This battle is very unique.

[bmoredon]

lol, is sakai going to travel around france in those red pajamas?

[rdrenton]

Sakai-san didn't walk into the kitchen with the pear, is this a bad omen?  Or will he have to go out and buy one?

[ShinShoki]

he's a cooking mario!

[chidoriookami]

@bmoredon xD i'd totally stalk him and defend his attire lol

[ThePieIsFalse]

marchez.....go shop heh

[crazycappie]

I can't help but be amused by Sakai's "aww sh%^$%" expression at the theme ingredient.

[elrondx]

why though? sakai is reknowned for his seafood. He has never lost a battle that contained seafood. But seeing from this, the french chef knew where to go to find extremely fresh seafood

[dmnxCGi]

i thought he lost the octopus battle

[solord]

You're right dmnxCGI: Sakai lost an octopus battle to Tadamichi Ohta. Sakai also lost the 21st. Century Battle (Grudge Match) to Toshiro Kandagawa (Theme Ingredient: Red Snapper).

[AdamWoodhams]

This may be the best battle ever.

[Xantar]

Hey, they're playing the Escaflowne soundtrack!

[hanzip]

sakai + homard = oh noooooooeeeeeeessssssssss!!!

[FoieGras]

lol. Ironic that he's so good at fish but so bad at lobster

[uberathlete]

Homard. Sakai sucks at lobster though.

[XMenFinal]

archo89, U Rock Man, Do You Have The Iron Battles In Hong Kong ???

[no1asskiker]

At 8:20 Pierre said "good looking female lobster" lol.

[xeryph]

Archo, you rock!!!

Thanks!!!!

[misstee101]

WHooohoooo!

[kittiepowpow]

this is sooo cool. thank you archo89 you make my viewing happy :)

[goku23456]

This is more exciting than UFC fighting

[thesupremeknowitall]

japan vs france, a 25 hour "battle". this is some hardore shit for a cooking show.

[bardsinister]

Leon, thanks so much for uploading this very special IC battle. Sakai v. a 3-star Michelin chef should be very interesting to watch.

[shoboshi84]

[nitzwalsh86]

This is quintessential Iron Chef!

[Songy]

And so...they went off on a quest.
