IRON CHEF Cooking Challenge in Panama

[@physicsfan314]

I'd love to see more of this idea - you and another chef go out and catch some stuff, and then you each make 3 dishes with what you caught. No time limits or anything, just fun. Have a couple judges and see who won. I think this would be a fantastic series.

[@Rockymtncraycray]

This guy has ALL of the right ideas!!!!!

[@mikebartoli4755]

I'm available for a judge!

[@billysoupy]

This would be a fun series to watch!

[@adamaguirre9315]

Brad Leone would be a good challenge

[@Redbird1504]

He'd be a good guest on meat eater. Especially with his knowledge of the West coast.

[@protectyour2a482]

16:06 bro ate that raw cut like it was a fruit roll up 😂

[@Andre-Nader]

Fish by the foot.

[@OutdoorChefLife]

@@Andre-Nader LOL

[@laskinov]

It's the way it should be eaten, au natural. Love the real taste of fresh fish.

[@protectyour2a482]

@@laskinov not arguing with that, just found the way he ate it hilarious

[@TomGiffin]

🤣🤣🤣

[@anacarpenter9254]

2024 Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 wherever you travel your aim is to make the best of whatever your catch; maybe. The polka dotted fish is an unusual species. If you're hungry and kayaked in the open sea, returning then cooking on solid ground your efforts will not go unnoticed. Good on you Taku & Jocelyn 😊❤😊❤😊

[@p90p90]

Man I swear, your videos always have the best and most chillest vibes. I love watching them when I cook because they're long enough for me to finish cooking when you do also lol. great job!

[@chrisyoung9653]

i love your videos man. Its awesome to see someone doing what they love for a living. you should start a course to teach others. i would have loved something like that when i was younger

[@mdevil12]

Sooooo goood!! Thanks for putting this trip together, Taku! I had a blast!

[@Titanfists]

Taku scarfing that fish is my spirit animal.

[@cookitupppp]

TUNA TATAKI NORI TOSTADAS WITH GRILLED GOURD RAMBUTAN OCTOPUS SALSA AND COCONUT RICE! Did I get it? 😅 Thank you for the shout out 🙏🏻 I had a great time on this trip being out in the elements, making new friends, learning new fishing techniques and cookin it up!! 🇵🇦

[@lm-pw9ul]

Interesting to see rambutan there. It's quite popular in Indonesia. Good rambutan should be more sweet rather than sour. Like good grapes.

[@Jacemang_Outdoors]

Watching you prepare these delicious recipes always makes me hungry!

[@yurannovoa18]

20:43 shoutout to the dude who was telling somebody in the background “ shh just watch “ haha

[@rogerrichardson4324]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻……Taku and crew….Excelent

[@beatrixkiddo1895]

Taku is such a boss and Jaqueline matches his charisma in the humblest way. I love this channel for the travel and cooking. And you can tell that the other people they are with love them too. Keep on keepin’ on ❤

[@michaelzimmerman635]

Jacqueline? Taku, you got a side chick?

[@pnwexcso2939]

What a meal! Outrageous!

[@VernonBoone-s5m]

Hands down you're fishing is in the top five buddy , and your cutting ✂️ skills are number one 😜👍🏽

[@kennfujioka]

Chayote can be used to make Hawai’i style “pickle mango.” In Louisiana it’s called merliton and there are a lot of cajun recipes.

[@laurancedarwinuy3385]

If you throw the collar and the jaw of the tuna you’re missing something great, we usually marinate it with soy sauce chilli and lemon if your in tropical countries we had kalamansi a type of lemon with a punch, and then grill it in direct flame and make a dipping sauce with kalamansi soy sauce chili and diced or sliced thin onion. Superb

[@Justice1911A1]

What an amazing looking cook up, well done to all 💜 from 🇦🇺

[@Bmwqxtmop]

Need more iron chef challenges!! So epic

[@debramage739]

What a stunning feast Taku, well done to all. Appreciate you 🙏 😊

[@richdunn9774]

Taku

[@debramage739]

Changed it, ta. Hi from Australia

[@09darkfang]

the chayote, you use it like a daikon radish in soups or batonette cut them and stir fry(could be mixed with scrambled egg, noodles, shredded tuna, sardines with tomato sauce or whatever u like, like the guy said, it will taste like whatever you put on it). For the best texture experience though, make sure you half-cook it whether using it on soups or stir frying it, if gets overcooked, it will get mushy

[@liyinchong4493]

Amazing friends, food and place ❤

[@kenisanidiot]

Woohoo another video to watch during dinner. 😂

[@findingumami]

Just keeps getting better! Looking forward to more of your vids.

[@TheMataleon06]

Live in Panama all my life. I go to Cambutal around two to three times a year for the last 30 years! Love the place! They call it the tuna coast and i pulled a bunch! Mi Panama es bella!

[@i.g.n2trip684]

Thanks for the entertainment brother 👍🇳🇿🍺🍻

[@jackwalker9492]

Was there in the Army from 87-91, visit often, but decided its gotten too big for my retirement home. FYI, Panama is an Indian word for "Abundance of Fish."

[@TheRAMBO9191]

I was born 91 ✌🏼 thank you for serving. It takes guts💪🏻🥃

[@MrAcuta73]

Had friends that were "deployed" down there. Beautiful beaches, surfing, fishing, pretty girls, and amazing food. I was a wee bit jealous. I got to go to Kuwait instead. lol

[@jackwalker9492]

@@MrAcuta73 Particullary then! Lots of history. At the same time, it was busy. Support to the Contras, 2 coups, the invasion, counter coup, counter drug. I was Infantry and went to BN Recon (Later called Scouts) We didnt just do just cause after waking up one day. I spent about 6 yrs in the Middle East and Astan as well, so, dont be too jealous! Take care

[@geri9839]

Hello Taku and Jocelyn awesome video thank you for sharing.

[@frankgarcia1641]

Looks like a great trip and awesome time cooking and eating

[@kawi2144]

Making me want to go back to Los Buzos!

[@RippieFarmer]

Man... this makes me miss fishing for Ulua and Ono so bad❤

[@yanjijay6752]

Looks delicious Taku

[@einthomas9981]

We called those green pumpkin like vegetable a water pumpkin in Indonesia. Very mild. Just by boiling them is very good by itself. Mildly sweet, very gentle taste. Alternatively we do stir fry with thinly sliced carrot, seasoned with salt, chicken stock (very little) and sugar

[@robertsanchez7700]

You have a great group of friends. Love the shows. I am hungry now. Wish I could fish with you. San Diego Ca

[@danv2907]

Love your videos! As another fisherman and experienced mistake maker, I would put some kind of protective barrier (of your choosing) over your bare legs when taking the hook/s out of the fish when angling wearing shorts shorts in a Kayak! Many kudos to you and Rosalyn for your sharing! You inspire me!

[@karenlowdermilk3222]

Fabulous variety of fish, interesting kayak and fishing with locals there . Keep sharing use of sharpening knife stones .

[@GoldenGecko]

I have watched all episodes of Iron Chef :)

[@samuelmorante3393]

Just heated the spoon and get a chef life notification life is good😊

[@yurannovoa18]

Do you mean heated the spoon by what you think I mean? Droogs wise

[@Alotta-u4h]

bro those cutting boards are fire!!!

[@chichibangbang3667]

That fusion of Latin and Japanese "nori-tostada" was fire. Considering Jocelyn's Latin background, I'm surprised Taku didn't know about chayote squash. Of course, in the U.S., the chayote are more pear shaped instead of elongated as shown here.

[@freeman092]

Yow Taku! We usually peel the Chayote because it's skin is a bit "fiberous-y" Big props for infusing the local ingredient in your dish. Big fan btw. =)

[@haroldtakahashi8875]

💛...you need to find something to use for a new chili crisp sauce... a collab so you can keep returning for quality control purposes... at least have the kelpers come up with a hispanic-inspired version so they can be involved too...

[@lilwavedave]

taku at 16:05 is like wen my dog gets a hold of a piece of food n eats it before i can get it back

[@colesvevar4510]

Wow that dish really worked out

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Awesome video Taku

[@robyngillum8577]

Taku breaking the rules of the game. In the Iron Chef you gotta know your ingredients, you can’t ask how it’s eaten or what it tastes like.😅

[@randyorton1647]

Ok….

[@SaraYah33]

Iron Chef in Panama nice!

[@chaunceylock]

Love how everyone else is filming too

[@edquier40]

I love a kitchen that has a broad axe!

[@rodrigotakaki2218]

Awesome trip!

[@Sasimeansboundary]

tonguetwisting tuna tostadas ❤❤❤

[@greghelton4668]

Taku, those chayotes will do well on your property. Plant them after the last frost and leave them alone until they’re grown.

[@Solospinning]

Welcome to Panamá.

[@debbiemarquis3231]

The green skin veg is used best in stir fry..or chowmein..

[@Mr-POOS]

Nice videoo and nice cutting sceneee

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

Awesome fishing!

[@fishinglottery2021]

I have to laugh at y’all technical fisher ppl. It didn’t take drama to catch.😂

[@joanneganon7157]

Excellent 🎉 JO JO IN VT 🍁🍁💞

[@MrNtlman]

You should do a Takoyaki/tostada shop and call it Taku's Tako Tosta's

[@JR-bw3tr]

Oh yeah this couldn't be done if it wasn't without my boy prince what up Prince cook it up

[@superbeast-lq3ft]

Taco and Samdong outdoors need to do a video , maybe eat some sucker fish from the Umpqua river .

[@mesasavage]

The ORIGINAL, JAPANESE Iron Chef is the ONLY Iron Chef! Taku, you would have been quite the challenger for my favorite, Rokusaburo Michiba!! Michiba is STILL alive and healthy at 93!

[@sand2sea]

taku doesnt do well with others if they tube 😢

[@znilf84]

Tuna tataki tostada!

[@DimasFajar-ns4vb]

wow and peace be upon you sir from me

[@claytakaya3124]

First of all, I can confirm that the Sierra Mackerel is indeed an amazingly delicious fish. I like it better than tuna and snapper and SM tastes even better if you catch it on the fly! I'd also like to say that while I don't judge people for eating octopus, I think they should at least be made aware that they might be eating the smartest animal in the ocean.

[@sand2sea]

tell adam to get a really good reel please😂

[@carlcalvin1479]

Busted he seen ya. Did it taste good.hahaha

[@konata2893]

i think it's really funny that there's a fish that looks like chikuwa

[@jomarllaboretueres1214]

Yeeah

[@ktmcc4360]

You moved to the best fishing in Ca. When you going? Pt Arena has a nice area to launch Lil boats.

[@TheTinyOrc]

16:04 I’ve always wanted to do that

[@SEAescapes25]

Is the Cwindy stone a quality stone?

[@chrisbeling7350]

Awsome are those rods reals for sale

[@oftedahlh]

why to go Chief ur cookin is the best

[@mannjaeger9158]

We cook those squash veggies in soup

[@Hotsauce760]

Im starving now lol

[@Talonthir]

Just a question Taku, I've seen so many other anglers when cleaning tuna fillets they take it in 4 sections instead of whole fillets. Have you ever done it this way too instead of taking the whole fillet?

[@ktmcc4360]

When you going back to Gualala?

Nice cutting board!!! When can we order??

[@chir0pter]

Does it taste worse if the tuna isn’t properly bled?

[@bruce_c9574]

Where can i acquire that jig rod

Taku, your knees look sunburnt. Ouch!
