Iron Chef America Battle Chickpeas

[MegaJimmyw]

american cuisine i think is oily ,unhealthy and has no culture based than many countries....thats why they tend to use ingredients as their main priority ......many chef use their culture as their base to amplify ingredient :) ...italy=pasta,china=noodles=,­india=spices,spain=seafood....­america=fast food ..

[bmwdonkey]

maureen petrosky is hot...just wanted to throw that out there.

[axelpayne69]

@MsSweetaddict, no, this was shown back in 2007, and Top Chef Chicago was shown in 2008. I know my history, and I hope you reconsider.

[retroflashbackdude]

u rule richard blais. u put the blaze in top chef.

[geddoe316]

i am not trying to be some nerd lover of japan, but having followed those episodes for so long, then having to watch these..it's just tough..a little too pretentious all around, and corny.

[FeatherWings78]

lovely now could you please upload iron chef America Blue Food Chicken? 

[FeatherWings78]

Is anyone going to please upload Battle Blackfish or battle Corn? 

[marclions66]

"i respect what you say"

[GwynethC10]

Batali is THE MAN

[Clefdrums]

wow the american version sucks so hard compared to the original...

[TheNaingnaing]

bro , i m 100% subscribing to ur channel since i am cook .thz bro

[PilotOfTime]

I think Batali looks a little like comic book guy.

[rtask]

she is pretty smart, the guy is very "interesting"

[dzindc]

Alton is such an a-hole in this. Totally disrespectful to Chef Blais.

[FlipSnipeZ]

Battle Cauliflower please? :)

[trespire]

Food, the final frontier.

Very witty !

[dwarrior58]

@trespire ALTON BROWN IS NOT WILLIAM SHATNER AND ICA IS DEFINITELY NOT STAR TREK. ONE OF THESE DAYS THE CHAIRMAN SHOULD MAKE AB DO A BATTLE AS A COOK IN KITCHEN STADIUM

[roygbiv330]

hamachi wow.

[told2stop]

Richards sues chef Eli was on Top Chef season 7

[ejuejuzz]

@told2stop eli was from season 6..same seasons with the brothers voltagio

[told2stop]

@ejuejuzz yes your right, i meant 6 not 7. :-)

[canyoutriplikeido]

Has anyone noticed the huge increase in molecular gastronomy lately?

[sammycut1]

Richard Blais, the new crowned Top Chef!!!

[axelpayne69]

@sammycut1, this battle was before he even competed on Top Chef: Chicago.

[MsSweetaddict]

@axelpayne69 No he was on Top Chef before he did Iron Chef America. =)

[djporkz]

I really love iron chef...♥♥♥

[lister1nePaz]

dont know why alton is so negative towards blais. just because it's science doesn't mean it's not "soulful" - whatever THAT means.if blais were black i'm sure his food would magically have acquired the label 'soul.'

[mwolffm]

@lister1nePaz I also think Alton tends to be pretty reluctant to embrace new developments in cooking before they go mainstream. I bet if I went back and told him that all the stuff Blais is doing here would be almost standard issue for high end cooking in a couple years he'd shit a brick.

Secondly, he has always shown favoritism toward Batali. He just loves the guy. I get that--he's a lovable guy--but I think it ends up making Alton look bad as a commentator.

[TheWorldsStage]

"As passionate about food as you are about animals" They're the same thing, Alton.

[Zurox15]

Nice Van Halen reference at 20:55.

[musiCiSloVe64]

he just made his own anti-griddle and has his immersion circulator. he's doing 2010 ICA years before. what a g.

[Ryuzaki258]

Blais is so epic on Top Chef though ^^

[kelseymott]

At 33:00 did he say he wished the dish had more chick penis? :P

[YiDog21]

@kelseymott obviously the man is unsatisfied with the amount of creaminess in it

[emeraldgal28]

@kelseymott hahaha...yup...chick he stressed the word pee-nus...hahhaha

[PurpleOrangeCrown]

@kelseymott lmao No she said he wish the dish had more chick pea- ness. as in more chick pea flavor

[ihatebobsaget1989]

@kelseymott yeah , on another episode one of the judges said she wished it had more pea-ness.

[payanz]

hate that women in the judge .

[jnm2008]

Definitely appreciate how many of these you have on your channel. Thanks a bunch.

[TheVeganGeek]

Very cool. As a vegan, I totally dig battle chickpea :) Thanks mchan! As an aside, I have visited Morocco and have watched the Collectives of Moroccan women grind argan nuts into the oil. It is fascinating. And quite tasty! If you'd like to see some photos, just send me a message.

[TheVeganGeek]

@lister1nePaz I know your comment was removed, but there have been vegan dishes on ICA. Watch Battle Tofu with Morimoto (and also the original IC tofu battle). There was hummus made in this episode.

I am a chef, and travel extensively looking for new vegan dishes. Chickpeas feature in many foods in middle eastern countries. Also, I appreciate the skill with which the chefs on ICA treat any ingredient, vegan or otherwise. It is fun to recreate these dishes with substitutions, also.

[Samarripa123]

Thanks mchan2048, btw, for some reason i can't watch the cherries battle, any idea why?

[robie2222]

That first judge isn't particularly good-looking, but he seems to think he is, after winning some silly award. I was hoping Alton would poke fun at him for being pretentious.

[pisces38]

I love Mario and Alton's interaction with each other. They always seem to have a good time :)

[dlargent2001]

Thanks for uploading!!

[AisforAccidents]

wooo, I love Richard Blais! He is one of my all time favourite Top Chef contestants!

[simonmccenright1]

thank you for the upload !!!!!

[019kaizha]

I wish youtube had a taste function on it...

[Negisenseifangirl]

Yay I love this show, but I also loved the original Iron Chef show. :D

[Vinifera7]

@Negisenseifangirl

"Fukui-san"

[Michael55443]

I don't like the modern American food style. Too many synthetic ingredients and a lack of classical approach to cooking.

[xthesaintx]

@Michael55443 I didn't see any "synthetic" ingrediants

[Michael55443]

@xthesaintx I guess synthetic wasn't the right term. I meant the chemicals he used. Additives.

[xthesaintx]

@Michael55443 no, the point i was making is that every thing he used was natural or derived from a natural product e.g. agar agar is a sea weed extract, no different than gelatin (a pig or other animal extract usually from their feet or bones).... nothing he used was "chemical". The lecithin he used came from eggs. I could go on.

and secondly about the "lack of classical approach to cooking"... he trained at the french culinary institute of america, so i think he's very classically trained

[Rururawr]

Ty for the upload!!!! :DDD

[purewic]

oh how i miss chubby Alton.

[awwwyeeeuuuhhh]

dang, alton be hatin' on chef blais!

[carloven]

Go Blais Go!!! 

[dbzdezz1]
