[Okoa]

I love Sakai at 8:05. You can tell he's thinking, "Are you ready for this, little man?"

[chefkoo]

1:47 to skip ahead

[eatmyshorts2007]

the best 3 iron chefs right there!!!

[anadryantontine]

It's pronounced PRO-VAUNCE. Not Province.

[kiminokami]

You are correct.

[anadryantontine]

I know I am, that's why I said something.

[mekore]

since chairman kaga is a fictional character, i guess hattori san is the man behind the kitchen stadium

[riggersouldance]

He is. Hattori-san owns the college that basically funded the program. Kaga's a great character tho. Kaga Tageshi is actually someone most Japanese people would recognize. Famous stage actor.

I wonder if u can stir fry crawdads and how they would taste

[teamfat666]

Sure you can. They would taste like stir fried crawdads. Okay, that was a smart ass comment. I probably wouldn't stir fry the whole thing, but just the tails. But then again the shells and heads would certainly add to the flavor. Too bad I can't get fresh, live mudbugs here in the deserts of Utah.

[Nocturnalux]

For a split second the crayfish looked like scorpions to me

[mastertakaoka]

i like that guys smile after he eats something lol

[patron40silver]

I just always wonder what would happen if they had a more international pannel of judges..the Japanese pallet is different from say a French/German/Spanish/Italian pallet

[Pocketass666]

they both have the power of the mustache! the program will divide by zero and explode!!!

[VampyressKatt]

Excuse me, Kaga-san, but I would like to judge this battle please. XD

[DesertLynx83]

They both look excited about the ingredient.

[UnknowUser01]

Now way, it's part of the show. Iron Chef never meant to be serious.

[Stapler78]

This show is entertainment perfection.

[piratebri]

I've never had crayfish, as I live in New England - which is dominated by it's larger salt-water cousin, the lobster. What do they taste like? Are they gritty in texture because they live in the mud? What kind of dishes are they popular in? I might want to try it sometime!

[jcnme27]

I currently live down south. I have had crayfish many times. It does not have a gritty texture at all. But it takes quite a few to fill you up because it's so small. And flavour wise it's distinct, yet bold. Best served with a lot of seasonings and spices. Just my personal opinion. :)

[greattlemurs]

I very much respect jcnme27s opinion and in a way of course I agree. But in another, I really think its own flavour is enough to stand out for itself. So for me it would have to be a very light olive oil, parsley, lemon, dried chilli and garlic as a dipping sauce for the crayfish. Again simple for me, first boiled (very quickly! as they overcook in seconds) and then quickly into a flambe of cognac. If you burn off all the alcohol you'll end up with a really light summer dish!

[bludika]

like the saying goes, u pluck the tails, and suck the head, where the flavor is

[tinkerbelle65078]

As a Louisiana girl, I'd say crawfish are best served boiled in a huge pot of corn, potatoes, sausage, and garlic! DEEEELSIHHHHHH

[stinkoid]

The first panning shot when they introduced Philippe was really nice. I wish I wasn't so poor so I could eat at fancy French restaurants. Ah se la vie.

[zartan2006]
