In hindsight they all are, but my younger brain singled him out. While I do remember this show and the Fox Box... I moreso remember Ultimate Muscle and Kirby Right Back At Ya'!...

Also, Fried Ricer was voiced by Andrew Rannells, who later went on to play Elder Price in The Book of Mormon. Just something I thought was interesting.

[@KumoriGurasu]

I was not aware Andrew Rannells helped work for 4KIDS past "Pokemon Live", that's really neat--so why exactly do we give 4KIDS a bad time, again? Just because of their crummy business practices?

I loved this show as a kid, and it really sparked creativity in me. I remember they had a "Design Your Own Foodon" contest when I was in like third grade. And I drew dozens of them in my notebook during class. The show made it really easy because the designs were pretty simple and it was all related to stuff I knew really well. I'm neither an artist or a chef, but that kind of push to embrace creativity for me came from this show, to some degree.

Been forever since I've watched one of these. I vaguely remember this series, I do remember watching stuff like "Digimon", bits and some episodes of "Ultimate Muscle", but really else. Looking at this series here, it definitely looks like a parody only "Mad" magazine would've come up with.

I remember watching this on the 4kids website as a brat.

[@rockinrootbeer1795]

You mentioning the website reminded me of the hours I wasted as a kid coloring those awful stock images of 4Kids characters with the MS Paint style bucket tool. That's how my first re-colored Sonic OC was born. He didn't even have a name, he was just an ugly neon pink and puke green Sonic with all yellow shoes. An absolutely horrendous abomination. Thanks for the memories 4Kids.

Man,this takes me back to simpler times of my early anime watching (this was during my middle/high school years) as well as early Saturday morning programming growing up

[@henrybryantkidofvoices]

ARE YOU GOING TO TALK ABOUT POWERPUFF GIRLS Z ( THE 1ST CARTOON to ANIME )

[@StarDragonJP]

Ninja Turtles was 10 years before that

[@henrybryantkidofvoices]

@@StarDragonJP HAVE YOU THE OLD POWERPUFF GIRLS CARTOON

[@StarDragonJP]

I don't know what the heck you're trying to say, but the Ninja Turtles anime came out in 96, which was before Powerpuffs even existed, & Powerpuff Girls Z didn't come out til 2006.

I will use this to prove Im not crazy and this show did exist and it also explains my reaction to food puns.

My obsession with the 'Mon games (and MTG/Yugioh) is the same for my need to play Shin Megami Tensei/Persona and Yo-Kai Watch, I am trained (basics) in the ways of Onmyoji (Japanese Imperial Demonology)

[@kylemew24]

for some reason while watching this show in my youth, Sir Dumpling was my favorite Foodon XD My ONLY favorite Foodon...

[@mikekazz5353]

I remember the theme song more than any of the episodes, I also remember seeing a dragon Ball cartoon on upn along seeing the episode of Pokemon with a town that was split up into 2 gangs amd Pikachu loving a bottle of ketchup.

If I hadn't already subscribed, I definitely would have subscribed due to you bringing your cat in his entire house onto screen 😂

[@50shadesofgandalfthegrey]

Wow. Never been this early. Hey y'all.

[@majormccoy2659]

This was a fun Saturday morning show I greatly enjoyed. Fun food puns, with some creative creatures, and a fairly nice concept.

[@storymaster21]

"these monsters were once edible and they still are you just aren't trying hard enough" hahaha.

"An evil empire that controls people through the DISHtribution of food" 🤣🤣🤣

[@TrialzGTAS]

I vaguely remember a promotion on KidsWB where they asked viewers to draw food related monsters and list the ingredients used to make it. I am going to half assume it was for this show. I was thinking about it last year, so thank you for jogging my memory!!

[@net_spider]

4:05 "How... how did you know?" That's exactly why! That is pretty funny. I couldn't even remember what it was called until I saw this.

[@TheAlison1456]

Finally, high quality footage! This was mentioned in Drawfee but only low quality images were shown.

[@phantomdragon3893]

I remember rewatching this show it was something . Also when you realize that this is a prequel to Food Wars.
