Iron Chef - Battle Liver (2 of 5)

[thexev]

not really sure how she's being hostile. she seems sweet to me, but is concentrating on cooking.

i love how ohta impersonates her when he repeats what she says XD

[shem01]

ile cuzsine!!! 1:48

[clank4001]

i bet liver mapo dofu would rock

[maestroanth]

god i love szechuan, i would love to try kenichi's food.

[bubbles02010]

the way he says LIVER lol!!!

[kb27787]

@bubbles02010 The japanese equivalent of "liver" is "reba"  (ray-bah) lol

[vfaulkon]

On the hostile thing... I think it's just her having her game face on. Whether it's real or just for the show, she's shown a strong competitive streak before the cooking even began. She's more aggressive than hostile, and she obviously has respect for IC Kenichi.

Most of the chefs that come on this show seem to want to show off their skills and test themselves against the ICs, so of course they're going to go full throttle, y'know?

[TheSweetBean]

I like how she chose a traditional dress, but it seems to get in her way a couple of times.. especially when time is very crucial?

[Leziii]

I think they are asked to act hostile, to entertain the humor of the show.

[gabeuop79]

These tasters got the SHAFT !!!

[chefkoo]

@gabeuop79 Not for me. I LOVE liver!

[TheMrpalid]

lol at 2:20 when they ask the boxer about liver dishes he's cratching his balls

[wawilson74]

I don't think she was hostile. If you look close Chen is pointing out the pan for her and she has a smile on her face. On the othe hand, I love this show and watch them all several times.

[mundz86]

she is damned hostile ...

[vmusicvela]

I love the food porn that always follows "If memory serves me right"... Speaking of that, I think I just came... I love this show.

[CocodriloNYC]

my boy, Chen Kenichi

[gloomyoutlook]

I loved liver when I was a meat eater, and I think she chose Chinese because it would seem rather hostile had she chosen the style of cooking of her adopted home vs. her native land.

[tgpgrimreaper]

I think the reason why she picked IC Chen is because she probably want to match Schezuan's with Korean's spicy dishes.

She probably thought that challenging Japanese would put her at a disadvantage. Seeing that the judges are all Japanese, IC Michiba would make dishes that pleases the Japanese palette.

Not sure what the reason might be for not picking IC Sakai, but it would make for a good show to just show Asian dishes. French dishes are just too common now (western hemisphere @ least).

[gloomyoutlook]

That is a very thorough and satisfying explanation. Thank you :P

[rendezvous65]

The challenger is now an executive chef at a new Korean restaurant called Soban.

[JCrest87]

I Love Liver, It's taste is so unique.

[1Nanalo]

She should have chosen Japanese because french and Chinese knows how to cook liver.

[tkinnyc]

I agree... liver icky, Iron Chef awesome. BTW, Korean food is delicious-- If you ever get a chance, try it!

[Pr0t0sz]

Ever have liver and onions?

[mekore]

often! stewed with chilli, santan and patay

[FrostbittenWolf]

Goddamnit... now i'm hungry.

[teamfat666]

I love liver. Couple of years ago I was involved with smoking about 3 dozen turkeys for a Thanksgiving dinner at my wife's church. No on else wanted them so I got all the livers. Lots of it fried in butter and garlic, a big pot of pate - great stuff!

[familyphotoshoot]

looked to me like he was pointing towards the trays

[StorywriterInggo]

I hate liver, but I love Iron Chef!

[MostWanted724]

They're chicken cow and pigs liver... all of the mutant types O_O

[helpmeasshole123]

Heavy makeup...

[Bigcheesedude]

I can't believe that lady calls her self Royal Korean Chef!!! In Japan, she can bullshit through. There are handful of Chefs who has the right to claim linage to the Royal cuisine, and Certifications are usually given by the ministry of Culture. The recipes were a guarded secrets among the chefs and are handed down from master to apprentices for generations. The last Royal chef of Korea (who was the chef for Emperor Gojong before the jap's assassinated him) had only handful of Apprentices.

[Tambourines]

I've never had a problem with eating liver. Of course, the only time I eat liver is when we cook the giblets that come in the Thanksgiving turkey, and that's only a very small amount of liver meat. Is there something about the texture of liver that disgusts people?

Thank you so much for uploading. Great episode.

[chiralj]

that korean traditional dress is quite common when preparing food. I am sure she's comfotable on her dress.

[Bigcheesedude]

but that kind of white dress is worn only during funerals.... or if you are mourning for a dead relative.

[fanficbug]

Jesus, what is that, Yeti liver?

[jasonkolo]

stinky liver

[Musiqking06]

i agree with you dude. i hate eating Liver.....

[kigger622]

i wouldve gone with french. Liver is popular in Asia...she shouldve known by picking a french, she will have a big advantage. Chinese and Japanese has some knowledge of Korean food while the French probably has none

[greattlemurs]

Ever heard of foie gras? or perhaps, pate? Liver mousse? etc...

Plenty of liver cooking in France, mate. Both rustic and gourmet!

[kigger622]

yea my bad, I forgot about that, The stereotype of western food made me forget that the French used liver

[greattlemurs]

I apologise if I sounded rude!

[vickyet112222]

i never feel this disguest by lookin at these livers..huge..omg

[hansen97]

I like chicken liver mousse, but this. No thank you.

[ShaddyLee]

[feslenraster]

Hey Archo,

thanks so much for posting! It brings back some good memories :). Do you have the battle where Ron Siegal bests Sakai? I'd love to see that!

[JinXedLuck4u2]

LIVER ^-^

[metalheadproduction]

BY THE WAY!! FYI if u overcook liver it will be very tough..if u undercook it it will also be tough

so you must be very skilled to cook the liver very well

[newaza3]

Don't know why Kaga picked liver,, Liver is not the most popular ingredients in Korean cooking,, if my memory serves me right..

[RisingBagel]

heavy makeup!!!

[millennium]

why in the hell would she wear that dress..must be in her way and hella hot...

btw anyone seen the new novie deathnote..the chairman is in it...

[lrpv1688]

heavy makeup coz liver's icky....

[azn88hunni]

i thought of ppl dumping eyeshadow on the meat when they said that =[

[Bristalon]

You can tell they don't cook liver alot in that part of the world

[kalindoscopy]

this episode was genius. Heavy makeup on a slab of liver. The dubbing is great.

[beachranger9847]

That liver looks SO gross!!! I love Chairman Kaga though...he's way cool! I wish this show was on TV more often. I don't like the American version at all.

[poppingcherries1]
