At first I was wondering why Chen decided to go with the fried bacon and asparagus as I thought it would be a bit heavy or greasy. Turns out he steamed the bacon beforehand. That simple decision shows he's damn good.
I think Chen should get more credit for this battle, the theme ingredients arent popular in chinese cuisine thus tough for him. He is great, but both are winners a happy ending.
A fitting decision because their were truly no losers, especially the judges who got to sample dish after dish of world class cuisine! I can't stop salivating!
I disagree with the outcome. I feel that in the event of an overtime tie, Takeshi Kaga should cast the deciding vote. You can tell that Chef Corby was disappointed at the end.

It's almost like the final battle of TUF season 1. At this point, there's no loser to it all.
An incredible, almost impossible match of skills that will be amonst the greatest cooking tests in history. A dream come true for Chairman Kaga if I may say.
4:55 is so funny too 'cause you see the judges open their mouths in shock...or are they opening their mouths because they ate so much they were about to throw up. LOL
I think this match is great. Also I'm surprise that Chen can make such a wondeful dishes from foie gras which is not a common ingredient in chinese dishes. Coby also good by coming up the so call iron chef style dish.
Do you guys have ANY clue what kind of cruelty goes on into making foie gras? You should be ashamed to use it in any recipes. I can't blame the average eater, they stuff their faces with anything you put in front of them. But you chefs should know better: you should know what kind of treatment the ducks and geese go through to make their livers so sickened and grossly enlarged to make your stupid pate.
Find substitutes to your incredibly cruel food, you ninnies!
@huining19 like two enemies who fought so hard, and so long that eventually, forgetting their first determination to beat each other, and embracing each other in the end, knowing both their dishes were extraordinary @_@
These two episodes together make the best battle ever held in kitchen stadium. These chefs are simply amazing. There was no better way for this battle to end. It's too bad this version of IC did not last much longer past this battle because the battles could have gotten even better than this one (which would be just amazing).
The show ended on September 24, 1999 with a few weeks of competition leading to the King of Iron Chefs. I remember that, during the King of Iron Chefs challenge, Kaga said there were 304 challengers total...so I'm thinking that this episode probably took place in late July or early August 1999 since it would take a month to get the final four challengers through.
If you guys notice, Kaga actually made judgments while eating. He hardly EVER does that! That should give you an idea of just how awesome those dishes were.
I totally agree this just shows how the original Iron Chef tops the U.S. version I liked this match though because it was historic this is the only time I think this verdict has ever been called a match to be remembered forever
@TheBennyng It does... the thing Americans call "Chinese food" has been modified to suit the tastes of their rather insensitive tongues... (and ppl wonder why they see cheap "sushi" in a Chinese buffet)
why do some of the judges praise only the iron chef more often than the challenger, it gets me mad sometimes especially when the otherts dishes were sometimes more appealing...
What are you talking about? They praised the challenger quite a bit. Calling all his dishes perfect, him a genius, a flagbearer of french cuisine... what more can you say to praise someone?
Well...I can say that this IS the BEST battle I've ever seen...I mean, the judges themselves just don't know how to give the score...It was truly the greatest battle so far...I really like the way Chen-san fought the Challenger on a very disadvantagous situation...I mean, give foie gras to chinese chef..? I can say that Chen-san must be a genius to be able to came up with the dishes that he made even just to tie the foie gras battle...
There is no doubt the iron chef is the true winner of the contest, corby cant even defeat him in normal time using a foie gras. Pure iron chef skills.
The food that came out of both kitchens looked amazing. This was such a great battle. I have to re-watch a few times, so I can re-create some of these dishes.
The Perfect Battle

They promised a memorable battle, the 300th battle, as tremendous as the 300 Spartans of legend, and they delivered in a big way.
I believe everyone can say that this was the greatest battle EVER in the history of Iron Chef, and we couldn't ask for anything better than this.
