What the hell? How dare that mentor jerkass punch someone like that ? I'm so offended at what he did that just took all the FUN out of watching this episode. Seriously, I dont know whether to track him down Im so fucking pissed...
Don't forget this program was recorded not in the US, not in France but in JAPAN！
That's the way some masters train assistances in Japan because they are pro and responsible for the dishes.
From point of Inoue's view, the beaten assisitance was way out of his expectation. Just legit to beat in front of the camera. Totally pointless to blame Inoue.
U still angry? Quit watching the show and keep eating lousy junks around U!
I'm honestly torn. One one had, Inoue is being a dick. On the other hand, it's so damn funny, especially considering normal japanese patterns of constant politeness.
I think it's more of a cultural thing, that's why the young dude didnt' do anything to inoue. Not 100% sure but elders are held in really high regard in Japanese culture, even if they are (not all) incompetent, jackasses, etc.
@delta3030 yeah i've seen that in other cultures too. the elders playfully [or not so much sometimes] smacking youngers for doing something wrong or being crude/silly.
INOUESAN SUCKS he is helping his apprentice... why is everyone laughing about it?? it is against the rules... so the rules doesn't mean anything?? since this show is a battle against time and if the challenger wins, there is no glory
@swearedinnocence actually...Inoue hit his apprentice's assistant, he's hired by Kaga, not Inoue. It's like you go to your friend's house and beat up his maid...
while i was an apprentice in europe it was quite comon to get a sucker punch. usualy in good nature it does help focus. with a bit of portwine... could piss a guy off i remember serving a sponge to my boss as a porkchop he couldent tell the difference. ate all of it and complimented me on it... revenge is sweet!!!
Pause at 0:17, the look on that drunken fool is priceless. Wonder if he ever apologized. The announcer and commentators try to laugh it off and be positive, but after the second punch you can sense some tension. I note that he was never on the show again.
"This could be too strong for people who can't drink much!"
"True, but for those who like to drink, they're going to love this!"
...so Koga is making a dish in honor of Inoue? Geez, that Inoue is such a creep. Someone should grab one of those stingrays by the tail (with gloves, of course) and FISH SLAP that jerk. -_-;
I'm surprised that they didn't say "flamola" when fire started shooting up lol.
Yeah, that guy needs to join AA or something. He becomes a total jackass whenever he's drunk. He punched the assistants twice right now. I don't even know why he wasn't escorted away from the actual cooking area, and place him somewhere where he could sober up a bit
He probably had too much to drink. That wasn't nice at all; and being a professional, he should at least maintain decorum. With such actions, he brings shame not only to himself, but his protege as well.
drunk ass bastard not even half through the battle and he has a;ready sucked back half a bottle he had no right to hit that boy if he had slapped me id kick his ass all over kitchen stadium damn he just told that commentator guy to go away
And it's WINE for fucks sake... how do you become that wasted on regular wine that quickly without either coming into the stadium intoxicated or chugging straight out of the fucking bottle? You'd think someone who is so familiar with wine would know his limits. Reminds me of those little league games when parents occasionally smuggle in kegs.
I think asians lack the enzyme needed to metabolise ethanol so they get drunk rly quickly. something to do with the fact that in europe people traditionally fermented drinks to make them safe to drink but in the east they boiled it (tea)
I know that they often joke about there being rules and that a challenger can be disqualified if a supporter is in the kitchen and/or helps verbally or physically, but they should have kicked Inoue's ass out and disqualified Koga for not telling his mentor to butt out.
its a mistake to use only the recipes he learned from inoue. the judges usually don't reward you for preparing dishes you've already made millions of times; that's not creative.
He should have been shown to his seat when he began helping his apprentice in the first place since that is not allowed and then when he hit the assistant the first time certainly should have been made to leave the stadium not to mention the second regardless of culture, he had no right to him, he wasn't even the challenger. And the second hit what was that even for? It didn't show the reason, he just popped him. I hope never to see it from this show again. Very disappointing!
I was very appalled at his behavior. He has no right in hitting that assistant, that isn't even his. I know some traditional martial arts masters do hit their students to learn (Not just the obvious sparing stuff.) but not sure about cooking, but even still, that poor guy worked for Iron Chef show, not his restaurant he had not a single right to hit him, not that it was hard, but never the less hands off!
If I were Kaga-san when that second slap was delivered, I would immediately halt the match and toss Inoue-san out of the stadium. He was clearly not fit to be there.
This is one of the best 8 minutes of Iron Chef ever. Don't forget this is a Japanese show. Don't be so judgmental. I haven't watched the rest yet (just had to comment), but Sakai's strategy is very clever so far if you know anything about Japanese taste.
that guy is not even his assistant he works for the iron chef show! he is lucky the japanese are so stoic if he pulled that shit in america hed be lying facedown on the ground with blood pouring out of his disgusting 70 year old face!
Inoue started out as somewhat cocky and amusing, but then when he started smacking the assistants and interfering, he starts to portray himself as very unsportsmanlike and unprofessional.
I have heard that slapping and hitting an apprentice is custom in japanese restaurants. It's part of their culture.
I absolutely discust it!
It's also very humiliating for the challenger to have his boss standing there around him, like he is in no shape of conducting his service himself. That old bastard should be kicked out of Kitchen Stadium never to return.
It's great how iron chef lets nothing go. If an american show had a drunk contestant or onlooker they would probably edit it but not Iron Chef. Plus food network normaly broadcasts iron chef early in the morning.
What the hell? How dare that mentor jerkass punch someone like that ? I'm so offended at what he did that just took all the FUN out of watching this episode. Seriously, I dont know whether to track him down Im so fucking pissed...
