French has always got a reputation of being arrogant. It's the way they've been brought up,as to show they have full confidence in themselves. I'm not suprised to see Monsieur Passard showing an air of superiority. To the more humble asian people they might find him being cocky and rude but to the French, it's really normal I'm afraid. Anyhow, I truly admire the humbleness Mr Sakai has displayed and I think this is what it takes to be a super chef.

What's so outrageous about having female assistants? We're in the 21st century people.

@Shadow194 Lol well said. But I really wonder if there's anything wrong with female assistants.. Male superiority? That's really sexist. haha

@plumevine

Japan still has a lot of sexism and racism in the mainstream, so generally women are not socially allowed to partake in art forms like this over there, so seeing them working there is weird for a lot of people on the home team. In Western culture we are all about the future and developing often forgetting the past. In Asian culture tradition is very important.

We forget certain things from the past (Like manners for one), they haven't developed in some things (Like equal rights).

@cindymiumiu

Asians in general are humble individually, but they have a superiority complex as a group, but they are very polite and you would not be able to tell easily. This is not an attack on them, this is just an observation I have been told by several people I know who have been and one even lived in Japan. And I am sure as hell not defending the French...

Alain Passard tied with Komei Nakamura in the Iron Chef World Cup '97 final in Kyoto and then lost to Hiroyuki Sakai in the very last battle in Kitchen Stadium.
