This is a must see food programme on the Food Channel – at least once – a bit like Las Vegas. Not because you learn anything but because it is so OTT it is funny. I am referring here to the American Iron Chef – not the Australian one which is nowhere near as good.
The beauty of the programme is that they all take themselves so seriously. The commentary treat the “cook off” or as they say “battle” as if it is a major sporting event – with cameras every where, replays and the lot. The battle takes place in “Kitchen Stadium”. Each episode has a different “secret ingredient”.
Apparently the origin of the programme was in Japan
If you are looking for some very light relief, I can recommend this. A hoot. If you are looking for a learning food skills based show, this is not for you.
