[Leziii]

Yeah, he's serving his giant lobster sausage alright.

[akiraman26]

nigger judges

[proboy07]

The iron chef always wins

[SuperMari026]

3 dislikes? probably giant lobsters.

[vivianmai87]

crappy judges=.=, unfair show=.=, and i want to eat that thickie yummie delicious crap brain lobster soupppppppppppp=D

[NickLiang]

Professional Chefs criticised by actors and fortune tellers..... how does winning mean anything -.-

[Mitchumthegreat]

That middle guyis a fucking faggot

[Mitchumthegreat]

FUCK THEM

[MaxSk8rr]

EPIC MUSIC AT THE END!!!

[stargate121]

"I see you're almost there, Kobe"

"Almost WHERE, a-hole??", wonders Kobe.

[Aznmoses]

1:42 OOOMNOMNOMNAW

[petejt]

the Erbs, the ERBS! URBS! haha it's funny when they say that!

[abdullahbabi]

I m a chinese, the challenger is really skillful in chinese cooking...

btw, all of his recipes are routine chinese dishes and he is obviously lack of creativity...

[firdaus622]

terbaek work..

[KingRyltar]

granted the IC is a great chef, but the judges i feel, don't have the credentials or back ground to be judges for such a competition.

[HmongZboy]

hahaha asian judges or more hard then america judges

[MrOgbologbo]

Masahiko Kobe! It's the italian touch my friends! Nobody can cook as we do!

Buon appetito!

[IAMSKILLED]

the judges convey so much negativity yet they finish off on a positive comment. in conclusion... these critics aren't that great

[twocoronas]

This is the worst challenger i have ever seen. His dishes were simply formulated by replacing lobster in place other ingredients in pre-existing recipes. Sweet and sour lobster is atrociously uncreative. Claiming you are a master chinese chef than challenging the italian iron chef to perhaps gain an advantage over the secret ingredient is equally atrocious.

[Bladewing10]

Having a fortune teller is cheating. She already knows the outcome.

[jsiszero]

the challenger's dishes looked more appetizing...

[nocturned85]

I swear when this used to be on, the fortune teller would always switch occupations... either that or they pick similar old looking ladies

[itsumonihon]

it's too bad the tranlsation and dubbing suck so much.. they totally destroy the original dialog. the actress is not nearly as dumb as they make her sound with the voiceover and fake translation..

[blueorange31]

the verdict music is so badass

[MaxSk8rr]

@blueorange31 EPIC!!

[MrRebeze]

one thing that I surprise is 30 year old lobster !! it live for long time, How many time it take off its shield and grow up ! but only one hour become only one meal. sorry for lobsters.

[magical11]

@MrRebeze Then again, lobsters, and most animals, live only to procreate.

[aygachu]

the iron chef looked teary-eyed in the end

actually, i thought the other guy was gonna win since his dishes looked so good

[witchjm0106]

Ha all the iron chefs have are BOLD IMAGINATIONS and APPROACHES!!??

they are energetic??? I feel that they are always a mess and in mad rushes....

[ch0bitsm3]

Is the camera on her most cause she's the only young lady there? That girl translating that actress needs to shut up...

[pcvietnameseboi]

the actress should had acted that the food was good bimbos!`

[kayu38]

the judges are stupid lmao.. actress? FORTUNE TELLER? whats next ?

[pcvietnameseboi]

@kayu38 hell yea !!!! they are stupid~ wat the heck do they know? that actress is pissing me off.

[boobster2000]

if the fortune teller was any good she wouldnt have had to taste anything!

[JPau216]

That woman judge needs to not talk

[x0chrystinax0]

anyone else hate the translators voices?

[YouveStolenMyEyes]

@x0chrystinax0 no, it's half the fun.

[nwms8]

Fortune Tellers have a much higher status than in europe/ usa because they are more like financial planners. Actors also generally have a lot of money and eat a wide variety of food and are in their own right food connoisseurs. The Iron Chef American judges generally give really mundane critiques and tend to be worse judges in terms of entertainment than these 'actors'.

[Jikk]

@nwms8

Very true.

[Spacemonkeymojo]

Fortune teller, fucking con artist more like it.

[mokshalovely]

the woman's voice-over is so terrible XP

[destineekennedy]

fortune teller? really?

[Joyl3ss]

Full respect to the chefs but at this level of cooking i would expect the judges to be food conasoirs. 2 Actors and a furtune teller sounds abit dodgy:P Although fortune tellers might ahve another kind of status in japan then sweden/england where i spend most of my time.

[Lizard5571]

I Love a Good "Me So" sauce,..Cause Me So Hoe ney, sorry my asian speakin is very bad,.and Spelling Is worse,..Very Good Dishes,..Love Kobe Beef,..and The Chef Kobe Too,..hes a Great Chef,..Have a Great Day,...Love All Your Guts!!

[pugostotal]

bullshit



[bogacli]

lobster brain eewwwwwwwww

[wontontonton]

SOOO HUNGRY

[Guitar0wner]

osada is pissed by the retarded judges

[akiraman26]

the kobe origional got him to win

[HylianSpirit]

"And fortune teller Kazuko Hasoki."

Huh. So I guess they have 4 actors up there.

You think she knew who was gonna win?

[Azner2254]

Nice one.

[drshiz]

Pwn'd italian style

[Swarleyz0r]

chefs judged by such incompetent people.. god it must have been frustrating >.>

[PhotoUlf]

Strange that huh... probably the kind of people who frequent their restaurants.

[xiyuemaa]

far out i just tried to eat my screen when i saw that sausage thing.

[BlueFox284]

Yeah, when Kobe was slicing that thing, it was like food porno. . .

[knitedoom]

wtf why fortune teller????? no =/= link

[Jamiesyme999]

I still cannot beleive they cancelled this on food network just to promote their own series that at times is almost a mockery of the purism this show tried to attain

[leeroyjenks]

better judges though imho...

[egorlike]

dang this show is good.

[E23443]

fortune teller...

Next is Pro Wrestler..

[kennzoariel]

both are winners..

[MrSamOnn]

Iron chef Bacon lobster was the superb dish. Would like to try it someday. At first, I was thinking were the judge acting to let the iron chef win. The bacon lobster saved him.

[Fullperson]

uhh I think......

[Raziel555666]

They go through this whole intro about how the challenger is bringing new and exciting dishes and how he loves to use different kinds of fruit and blah blah blah. But in the end all he did was make the same staple food he cooks at his restaurant every day! Wtf? What happened to his "originality"?

[DigitalPwn3d]

FUKU-SAN!!!

[MsPnis]

Man i wish i knew Japanese so I could watch it in Japanese; and not have the judges sound like retards.

[siothurn]

this food is boring try watching iron chef america

or no reservations with bourdain

[lucirz]

iron chef america is gay...no reservations is good though. but fuck iron chef america. iron chef japan is the original and its fucking epic. i mean just from the intro, u can feel the hype

[7674Princess]

I second that!

[siothurn]

@lucirz your right about iron chef original but the problem with iron chef America is bobby flay other than that the other chefs are good

[rabidninja]

So all these chefs are japanese claiming to be the best at Italian chinese and french cuisine. wouldnt chefs from their own countries be better?

[erebus08]

Not necessarily, since it depends on where and how well they were trained. But, regardless, as it was a Japanese show, the emphasis was mainly on showcasing famous chefs from across Japan. That's why out of almost 300 battles, only ~58 were against a foreign (i.e. non-Japanese) challenger.

[strongblackman]

fortune teler as a judge wtf were they thinking rofl

[Leziii]

Fortune teller: You gonna loose...and you gonna win

wtf lol

[Alecsso]

@strongblackman where are you from ? america ? another ignorant ? dude that fortuneteller lady is such a honorable guest to be there ... why do you talk stupid

? the actors too they are not food critics so .... the chefs ... 5 stars michelin !

[pedinoway2]

@strongblackman they got actors there, thats a WTF situation too

[TheHofweller]

@strongblackman I PREDICT FOOOOOOD POISONING

[xipetoltec]

@strongblackman Anyone can appreciate good food. One person's taste is just as good as anothers.

[pogisiG]

@strongblackman well they hired Bobby Flay as a iron chef,what does that tell you : /

[wteo340]

@strongblackman I would become a judge myself just to taste these legendary dishes. All you'd have to do is pay!

[mattb622]

whats with the Fortune Teller!!!

[ShaolinMantis]

where did she come from eh?

[Nicheven]

the lobster sausage thing looks devine.

[congaituthan95]

those Iron Chefs were expert

[AsianMeatBunBoy]

when the last time a iron chieft lose?

[h3akalee]

The lady in the duck egg blue dress need's to be force fed and then drown in her own vomit.

[phantasticphreak]

Duck eggs are not blue, robin's eggs are.

[h3akalee]

Duck egg blue is a color you fucking shit stealing monkey bollox ....

Look it up before you open your fat disgusting smelly mouth.

hahaha....

[ShaolinMantis]

you are right about that..

[jdmnismomike]

hell yeah!

[d3m0nm0nk3y877]

lmfaoooooooooo i love all the funny comments and the hater comments they make me laugh lmfaoooo in a good way i love haters haha

[gongxia649]

man i wish i could be a judge.

[Spamoram]

These giant lobsters didn't have claws. I wonder if they tasted more like giant prawns.

[fattybatty1]

actually they are not lobsters they are crayfish from of the cost of Tasmania

[clam454]

I thought the challengers sweet and sour Lobsters with fruit looked like the best thing on the menu.

DROOOOOOOOL...

[LadyTigerLily]

"I was surprised."

"...Meaning?"

"Meaning it's good."

":D"

[Cross316]

Just to clear things up. Both the challenger and the Iron Chef are given a list of 3-5 ingredients to which they create recipes for several weeks ahead of time. Neither knows what is being chosen until the day of taping and the reveal.

[1234anima]

It was great...I admire your effort!!!!!!!!!!!!

[monsoon56]

that one guy that says I THINK all the time is so f'in annoying!!!!

[strongblackman]

ths is good......... i think

[electrifizzle]

Its amazing how kobe hadnt even used lobster before in his cooking but still knew what to cook. I think the challenger shoulda vsed iron chef chinese!

[finchiestiffler79]

best to have a critic like linguinni..

[Ti1301]

The things they say really crack me up.

[LumacaBomb]

I laughed so hard when the judge said that the flavour is so "hip".

[jayjkl]

rigged! the iron chef did shiiiiit in comparison to the challenger

[FrostbittenWolf]

Uh-huh. Nope, sorry, you're wrong. Kobe did his best and won.

[jayjkl]

no, uh-uh, you're wrong, Osada did his best and should have won

[FrostbittenWolf]

The battles aren't judged by effort. Osada fought, did well, and lost to Kobe who produced superior results. Results are key, not process.

[jayjkl]

exactly, i just repeated exactly what you said but just switched the names

point proven

[FrostbittenWolf]

Not really.  You said Kobe did shit. But he didn't shit. He held it in until after the battle was over and he wasn't on camera. Public defication is a crime in Japan too.

[jayjkl]

yeah...when i say people do shit, it means they're shitting on the street

nice interpretation there

[FrostbittenWolf]

Shit. Who shot your sense of humor in the face?

[jayjkl]

lol shutup you, its not a big deal :)

[KaiAugustus]

You're kind of missing the point... the amount of effort put into something doesn't exactly correlate with the level of results. I could put a thousand times the effort into cooking that Kobe puts in, and he'd still win. In this battle, Kobe was just the better chef, accomplishing greater results than the challenger with less effort.

[AzamiSpider]

Kobes dishes were far more original and imaginative, this was emphasised in the judges critique. The challenger did a great job too but his style is more conventional

[Laceytube3]

I think the challenger's food was better, but i sorta liked the lobster sausage

[superput]

nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom

[patron40silver]

Where does Kanoh get off telling Kobe he's almost there? Put your apron on and challenge him, THEN and only then tell him he's almost there.

[SolariaAngeli]

I would really like to judge in episodes like these where the main ingredients are things you'll never get to try for the rest of your life. It must be such a terrific experience!

[MatsudaShun]

It's a crime! They are committing a crime!! How can they cook such insanely good looking tasty foods???? It's a freaking crime i tell u.

Way to go, chefs!

[KAGAYASHIGEYUKI]

Thank you Mr.archo89.

[sweetnssssssssssss]

i hate when the judges act like duchbags

[onebigchef]

Kanoh, the first judge, reminds me of a Marine Corp driff instructor. lol.

Super dishes, i envy those judges.

[Makaristos]

"This is year double-oh zero!" Odd way to say it, Fukui-san

[drillkid31]

...I still don't get it. I love this show, it's incredibly entertaining, though I can't quite say just why. I suppose that's the magic of the show.

[sexwizard]

Completely agreed. Both my sister and I love the show to death. Even though I would probably never want to try some of the dishes I've seen, the show just sucks me into its magical black hole.

[brianteri9]

First off the I think, is a language thing..they're saying it's how they feel. Secondly Fortune teller is a different status in Japan. Thirdly the reason the challenger failed so miserably is he used NO creativity. He just used his regular restaurant menu and substitued the Giant Lobster. The reason Japan Iron Chef rules is the attitude.  It's do or die. American Iron Chef keeps it in perspective but that takes away the drama.

[TheBigBoss411]

the reason this is better than american iron chef is that they take pride in thier work, and i mean PRIDE. Honor is the most important thing that they hold dear and their food represents that.

[Pr0t0sz]

I think you are stereotyping a bit.

So your saying that American chefs don't?

I think the only reason you lead yourself to believe that is because of your look on Asian society from a western point of view. Thinking that all Chinese or Japanese are truly honorable and that crap.

Kind of ignorant to completely blunt out say that chefs in America take no pride in their field.

[TheBigBoss411]

no, im just saying. i know americans take pride to but its not as serious.

[TheBigBoss411]

btw, what i say is true, you know that as well as i do

[Pr0t0sz]

Sorry I am Canadian do not know much about American culture so.

Hey if you guys have less respect for cooking than asians... Maybe you do.

I have been cooking 10 years and take true pride in it. It is just your entire comment was bias and stereotypical. Maybe when you are older you will see fact from fiction. Kung fu movies and Samurais do not last forever.

[TheBigBoss411]

kung fu movies? dude, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and im not taking shots at any culture nor nationality. and besides, your twisting my words around, u make me sound like a complete douche

[BlaineDeschain]

Even to today high ranking members of society and people from old ancestral families of significance take honour and pride seriously, more so than the average western culture. That's not to say you'll see someone committing seppuku if they lost a match:P And try not to sound so condescending, there's enough of that on here already.

[bbjboi]

agreed did yall watch the episode where bobby flay vs morimoto,where bobby stood on top of his cutting board and morimoto got pissed and said bobby wasnt a real chef because he stepped on his cutting board

[TheBigBoss411]

really? wow lol

[piontro]

In the Japanese culture, they respect the tools of their trade, The cooks, the masons, the carpenters, etc, etc, etc,... Bobby Flay coming from a country (U.S.A.) with no culture or manners,just showed the Japanese people that he is an ASSHOLE.. Morimoto was right when he said that the asshole from the U.S.A. was no chef.

[plicketypow]

you're crying and shitting your panties about a guy standing on a cutting board???? lol. oh no, you better get godzirra to kirr him.

[Jikk]

We can agree on Flay's doucheness, but you could probably have said it without bashing an entire country whilst doing so.

[sexwizard]

His adaptability to something he'd never used before was pretty creative I'd say though. Also, he was trying to represent the tradition established by the restaurant.

What I really wonder was, why not Iron Chef Chinese vs. a China style chef?

[agipony]

It's a shame that such great and professional chefs get judged by people who know nothing about food (except for the culinary critic of course).

[Shanoshi]

The secret is the Critic's vote is the only one that counts lawl~

[drillkid31]

I personally find the actress appearing as the least knowledgeable. She strikes me as more irritating then the other judges. It feels like all she does is make a few sounds and then says it tastes good, offering little detail compared to the others.

[death8kami]

you really never know how she was talking since this is a dub.

[fatherg101]

Iron chef America has nothing on these. the classic episodes display much more culinary creativity. and these iron chefs and the chefs facing them have so much more talent then thoughs of bobby flay and the rest of that crap.

[zyruemusic]

Thats Real!!! These cats use lobster brain instead of eggs...You know thats MAJOR!!! LOL!!!!

[macchonk007]

I'm not rooting to either one of them, but i, for some reason, feel so bad for the 1st cook coz he didn't get that much compliment for his dishes... I know that's how a competion goes, but i just can't bear looking at sad people... I prefer to see a cook losing a battle after recieving enough compliment for their hard work... good battle though..

[XtremistKid]

Fortune Teller. Lol.

I think I think I think I think I Think?

[dirtyniggeronpcp]

Fortune Teller... lol

[alexvlk]

the lobster sausage dish, when served, looks so beautiful with all the colours.

[warspeedinfocom]

ill go for the challender he is the clear winner in this....

[intrinzik108]

is it just me hearing things or did they add the sound effect of the girl belching when she covers her mouth at 2:38.....LMAO!!!

[fanficbug]

Also, speaking as an art critic and artist myself, it's important NOT to have all critics be experts in their field.

An key part of making a true masterpiece is its appeal to people of all walks of life. If you can't master appealing to people outside of your field then you're not a master.

That's why they don't invite all food critics. It's important to strike a balance. IMO, they did strike a good balance here, considering that some people specialize in food on the side.

[fatherg101]

you sir are a very intelligent man. (:

[fanficbug]

LOL . . . woman . . . but thank you.

[fanficbug]

Damn, epic battle!

I thought it would be harder for the judges, but Kobe pretty much roflstomped the challenger. Never even stood a chance; Kobe was just on another level with his creativity and boldness here. Still, the battle was excellent and I enjoyed watching very much. :D

[georgebattles]

yeah fortune teller... weird...

they're so fucking intense too.... I can't take those japanese ;)

[eatcarpet]

Fortune teller...

[nephildevil]

indeed wtf

imagine beuing judged by someone like that! :o

[ChaosTheory11]

for a second i thought the judge had said, "I'm a fan of your crap soup."

[linited]

for someone who hasnt cooked lobster before he made some nice lookin stuff

[ibclappin]

the lobser sausage is something we should all be eating, it doesn't have to be made with 400-dollar lobsters either. it should've been adapted and standardized everywhere, i dunno where it went. the simple, Italians style, ingenious lobster-sausage. wow.

[000Six]

Damn that girl is cute.

[guyferd20]

I don't know much about cooking so i can not judge who really is the better cook.But i can say is that talented individuals can create food masterpiece!

[jacky11oct]

The result was quite clear. In my opinion, Kobe's dishes were more creative and the decoration was better.

[YouveStolenMyEyes]

lol can't believe how funny this show is

[sheilaunderscoremay]

the challenger wasn't creative enough, he just took their regular menu and added lobster...his dishes were a little boring
