Wow, if you can beat Chen in a cabbage battle.. that just says how skilled you are as a chef. Cabbage is such a Chinese ingredient..

This was a very moving episode...I'm soooo glad Yamada won, he deserved it for so many reasons!!!

[christpunchers]

The judges voted for Yamada because they didn't want to his next car crash victims.

[GenesisSimpleMe]

is a Japanese chef, specializing in Italian cuisine. He was a top chef in Japan until, in a 1991 car accident, he killed two people and injured several others. The accident propelled him into financial ruin and disgrace. Out of the limelight, he worked in relative obscurity for several years. In 1994, he began a public comeback on an episode of the popular Japanese cooking show, Iron Chef, where he won the "Battle of the Cabbage" against Chen Kenichi.

Chef Yamada deserves it. Congrats! Such inspiring spirit and motivation.

And im curios what happen to him so i google him. He becomes the owner of a restaurant in Tokyo called Hiro Primo (this is the info i got from a site). Hope he's doing well till this day.

Congradulations! Hiromi Yamada.

How is it like an accident, exactly?

[teleostomi]

Cabbage dumpling with cherry inside didn't win the favor of Kurimoto and Takata. Many Japanese people hate it when fruit is cooked, like pineapple in sour pork sautee.

[Nocturnalux]

I know what you mean. I was so glad he won. He deserved it, too. This was a challenger that really needed this win. You can see in his eyes that he is haunted by the accident and I hope this helped him give a new direction to his life.
