[chefkoo]

2:19 to skip ahead

[terrorhunter]

haha Sakai had that holyshit face when the ingredient was revealed

[jsiszero]

3:30 - "This is the man that made them bendover backwards. We shall see just how good he is"

[christpunchers]

Man, Kaga aged so much between the start and this episode (1998).

[someguyhunter]

i feel like kobe and morimoto make the most radical dishes.

chen and sakai really stick to their styles of cooking but do it VERY well

and michiba is just awesome in every battle.

[1986OMFG]

Morimoto may seem very traditional to us, but he actualy infused alot of western techniques into his cooking tot he point where he had alot of grudge matches from other japanese chefs pissed at his techniques, made for some good battles, Love iron chef Japan!!!!!

[XThursdaysDoveX]

God, I love how dramatic everything is. xD

[someguyhunter]

my favorite part of this show is when kaga is announcing the theme ingredient.

he uses different tones for different kinds of ingredients and its one of the few parts of the show where we dont hear english voice actors.

[SolariaAngeli]

I think it's a good strategy to pick an iron chef for a cross-culture cuisine battle since the theme ingredient will probably be related to the challenger.

[quigonnjon]

If memory serves me right, THIS SHOW IS AWESOME!!!!!

[FrostbittenWolf]

@quigonnjon

Oh, no need to add "If." That is a definite statement of fact.

[raven1234]

omg it's 金華火腿 0-0 I love Jinhua Ham!!!

[ambiguousjay]

Poor Sakai, he always looks so dissapointed with the ingredients he gets for his battles. He always manages to do an astounding job, though.

[VampyressKatt]

They give Sakai-san that awful whiny voice-over. Hilarious. XD

He may complain about the ingredients, but he turns it out every time.

[Buskola]

its the one thing that i hate about sakai, he's an iron chef but it appear he hate very ingredient in his battle, maybe he likes truffles and foie gras only

[tennchuu]

SHANGHAI OVEN? SHANGHAI OVEN??? nerver heard of it! A bad ass oven I think.

[theothergreen]

For the gourmets out there, what is a shanghai oven? It sounds like something you would pick up on a black market.

[oneillbrown]

[lulu3verde]

@Bassitup1 sorry, I meant thumbs up. @_@

[blindwombat]

Seventh, cheers archo...

[24LaniTNT]

THank you Soo Much Archo =)

[shinurayohan]

I wonder why a decent challenger for chen choose sakai? hmmm...

[VampyressKatt]

He either thought Sakai-san was a more worthy adversary because of his skill and battle stats, or he wanted an advantage because he knew the secret ingredient would be Chinese-themed.

[teamfat666]

They often do that and pick a "secret" ingredient that favors the challenger. The Iron Chefs are well versed in the time constraints, kitchen layout and equipment, so an ingredient the challenger knows keeps the battle from being too lopsided.

[MrNgMichael]

wonder how the bacon will taste like???

[tennchuu]

salty

[MrNgMichael]

Allez cuisine

[DrazzanDuo]

LOL! Sakai eats this pork for breakfast! XD

[plasmagic]
