A friend of mine tried for six months to convince me to watch some of his Iron Chef tapes, when it first hit the U.S. The way he described it, I just couldn't see how I would enjoy it. I finally relented and watched his tapes, and I don't think I've missed an episode in the three years since then.
That a chef could make up recipes or cook from memory isn't so amazing, but a chef who can do BOTH, under the spotlight in a timed competition and STILL produce dazzling food is amazing. If you would ask me how to cook bell peppers, I might be able to tell you three things to do with them. I've seen close to twenty, from the chefs and challengers on this show.
Of course, the campy dubbing adds to the charm, as well as the celebrity guests. Some of them seem to actually know their cooking, but the majority kind of fade from the commentary, offering an occasional, 'Oh,' or 'That looks good'.
I don't know how much this show has taught me about Japanese culture, but I have learned something about gourmet culture: if it's edible, but nobody should eat it, that's gourmet food. How else do you explain anglerfish, potato starch, sea cucumber and sea urchin used as theme ingredients? The very DESIGN of the sea urchin screams out 'DO NOT EAT!'
All jokes aside, I have learned quite a few things from this show. Not really useful things...I know what miso and tianmanjon are, how to recognize a daikon radish, and I can tell the difference between crab brains and lobster liver by the color.
Great fun; a show to watch with friends. The only warning I'd give is to watch out for live theme ingredients, if you're squeamish. You might not appreciate the cleaning/butchering techniques.
