The Untold Truth Of Iron Chef America

[@MashedFood]

Who was your favorite Iron Chef?

[@gangisspawn1]

Chen Kenichi

[@Owen1904]

MORIMOTO

[@tammywinters7860]

Mario batali

[@sensemusicofficial]

Hiroyuki Sakai

[@wait...what...]

Agreed on Sakai. The way he could peel an apple with a chef's knife that fast and not lost fingers or have blood everywhere is nothing short of amazing!

I was actually stationed in Japan while in the Navy in Yokosuka for several years when the original Iron Chef first started airing on Japanese TV. I was actually at my Japanese girlfriend house watching TV when that show came on TV and used to watch it allot. I had no idea what they were saying, but it was damn fun to watch. Cooking you can understand regardless just watching. That original show was damn pure high Theater! It was intoxicating and damn addictive to watch. The American version aren’t got nothing compared to the original show. I got to see Chef Morimoto when he was really young and did his very first ever Kitchen Stadium Battles, he was a rebel in the Kitchen. The original Japanese Iron Chef before Morimoto was a damn legend. The original show was completely nuts. The Chinese Chef was always hilarious with his antics, but make no mistake he could cook his ass off. The American show is ok, fun to see. But when I think of Iron Chef, I think of the Original Japanese version with Iron Chef Japanese, Chinese, French, Italian. The French Chef was a legend!

[@Rem694u2]

I used to watch it religiously late nights on The Food Network. lol

[@AirLancer]

RIP Masahiko Kobe, Iron Chef Italian...

[@trinichick76]

Chef Masaharu Morimoto is the best ever!

[@nahor88]

It always annoyed the shit out of me that they used an interpreter for him on Iron Chef America when he's SPEAKING ENGLISH.

[@rdu239]

nahor88 Maybe they dont understand ENGRISH

[@mrnoiz23]

I went through the trouble of finding chef Chen Kenichi's restaurant in Tokyo and the food was pretty ordinary. His signature dish really uses Heinz Hot & Spicy Tomato Ketchup just like on the show.

[@xenalover99]

nothing! and i mean nothing! will ever beat the original iron chef! Kaga was awesome as the chairman,actually having food critics judge and having that 1 hr limit and seeing the worry on the faces of the cooks.there was even an episode when Chef Mitiba went off on a young judge because she did not know how long a certain food needed to be cooked to get the total flavor.(that may have been the episode when kaga knew he had to get a new iron chef :) also,the voice-overs are just legendary! and funny! love the show!

[@Vagus32000]

I’ve always preferred The Chairman over the chefs. I’m crazy that way.

[@schlaznger8049]

The secret ingredient is "Left over Squid and Shrimp from the local bait shop, bought yesterday"...You know the budget has really gone to shit!

[@dogvom]

Have you noticed that when the Chairman finishes his backflip during which you can see his bare torso, his shirttail is magically tucked into his pants?

[@markleneker9923]

That secret is...CEMENT! Now lets see that one! Lol

[@Bearrorist]

The date that this was published makes no sense. They have a new Iron Chef show on called "Iron Chef Showdown" first aired November 8, 2017. This video is probably pretty old?

[@eacorpe88]

Evan Hall I caught that as well.

[@johndifrancisco3642]

Fake news, fake shows, fake cancellations, so much for integrity. Does integrity have a place in society anymore or even a meaning?

[@janlabounty3365]

I love iron chef, Alton brown is so knowledgeable about the ingredients, I hope they make new ones soon

[@teddybotana4023]

Gratz on 400 Likes!!!

[@khunopie9159]

Will you do a segment titled What You Don't Know About Mashed Potatoes thanks

[@rdu239]

Iron Chef America heavily favored Western/South American food and techniques over esoteric cuisines and approaches. Ceviche or tamales became a staple dish constantly served (even if Bobby Flay did not cook in an episode) I strongly felt the judges were ignorant and inexperienced in cuisines outside of the West and Europe especially East and SE Asian food, it shows they had hard time giving fair proper judgement when someone makes an Asian dish.

[@beastman2513]

Thats why its iron chef america dork. Chefs from America making food the way americans eat it. If you want authentic asian dishes and judges that know them watch iron chef thailand.

[@janusjones6519]

@@beastman2513 well if there is an iron chef thailand the food will probably be way better

[@nicholascremato]

I watched every episode of Iron Chef Japan and it was incredible!!!!

[@c.t.1413]

Totally agree with you

[@xenalover99]

@@c.t.1413 yes...it was!

[@gedias1]

The opponent in Iron Chef Japan was predetermined, too. In that case, they used a stock shot, then only had the camera focus in on the IC and kept the others out of the shot.

[@ellavarnes2392]

BULL! the chairman aka Mark Dascascus played one of the best tv character...he played Eric Draven on "the crow: stairway to heaven" a well as many movies here in the us...not huge box office movies but they get a good rating on IDBM and rotten tomatoes...theyre kinda cult classics now

[@Vincent_Beers]

She didn't say he was a complete unknown, she said he wasn't as well known as overseas. And the fact you called his shows "cult classics" kinda proves the point. Cult classics have a small but loyal falling, emphasis on small. He wasn't a well known actor here prior to Iron Chef America. Even The Crow:Stairway to Heaven picked up more fans in reruns (which were re-run after he was on Iron Chef) than it did during it's initial release (which didn't last long)

[@feslenraster]

Are you kidding? the guy is a racial stereotype on Iron Chef America and never ever comments upon the food that he eats because he knows zip. He just memorizes his dialogue and "acts" as he is told.

[@defblinders9585]

I actually stopped watching because 9 episodes out of 10 they always went against Bobby Flay and I got bored seeing him all the time.

[@89emeza]

The secret ingredient wasn't secret and there was no time limit?!?! My childhood was a lie..

[@RabbitsInBlack]

You realize that Food Network hires a lot of chef to make the food you see on tv. The Chef on tv doesn't make shit.

[@89emeza]

Robert Pirlot you lie.

[@justinselk]

This is not true Information in the video

[@dianaforsea8163]

I lost interest in American Iron Chef after Besh didn't get the win, when they were picking another Iron Chef.

[@Dee010s]

Yes i agree but he won that James Beard award thingie, so theres that lol.

[@Silverpinstudios]

Personally, I think iron chef is the ultimate competition. I’d like to see Gordon Ramsay put his hat in the ring but I don’t think he’s got the balls to do it

[@lissfirefly9517]

Huh, never heard of Iron Chef USA.

[@MeilienAset]

A few weeks ago Alton Brown said on his Twitter account they will be filming more Iron Chef episodes this year

[@LastSider]

And I thought the ingredients were really a secret...

[@richardeast3328]

The episode where Bobby Flay went against Curtis Stone, was a weird one. I forget what the secret ingredient was, but they had to grill it, but Stone only grilled a couple of his dishes and Alton Brown acted like he was mystified by this. But it was the only one I had watched were a chef had to cook the ingredient a certain way. I think that since grilling was Flay's expertise, he had the rules changed to aid him over Stone and Stone just got pissed and didn't go along with it, thus not grilling some of the dishes.

[@gamecubeguy214]

I don't care if it's staged, it's still fun as hell to watch

[@redbeard36]

Let’s be clear...There is NO chairman...these are actors.

[@dannym631]

Dang I really thought they cooked it in an hour.

[@rememberpratik727]

They need to have it as a blind taste judging like Tournament of Champions

[@KrazeDiamond]

It's amazing that there's still people who believe Iron Chef America is real. The gen pop believes anything airs on TV. #Sheeple

[@michaelchallis4129]

We live in a society.

[@walkerprescott393]

I always hated these type of shows! They are not a true measure of a chefs worth. Throwing some crap on a plate in an hour is not a sign of skill. Hell, I've spent hours just doing my prep and making sauces!

[@RTK171]

This show does my head in!!, they can't even get the terminology right. The words they use are wrong they don't exist in culinary terms. So before you go on tv or even host it Like Alton Brown with a ear piece. Ahhhh I watched a episode using words like a force I assume he meant a farce 2) he's making a brun???, I assume he means making a fonds brun??, and the iron chef saying he's making a Jus??, no mate it's a stock it's a Jus when it's thickened not just a liquid. If you going to go on a TV show and host it pick up a French la repertoire book for haute cuisine and read it Alton.

[@jzplayinggame]

apparently theres an untold truth to everything. YOu know not everything is a conspiracy right

[@4biz]

wow.thats soms secerets reviled.i didn't know anything about this.u opened up my eyes 2the truth

[@solidkingcobra]

IRON COOKERU!!!!

[@lleytonrutz2091]

You just ruined the show for me

[@johnrondeau1180]

I did injoy iron chef. Then iron chef America came out. I did injoy iron chef America untill they start using fruits and vegetables ect. Then i lose interest in the show completely.

[@alanvonau278]

I knew that the show was fake from the very beginning.

[@aarond9563]

I'm sad now!

[@feslenraster]

This show sucks, sorry fans of this show. Everything about it is just wrong, especially the Chairman and Bobby Flay as their 'top guy'. It got a bit better when Michael Symon took control as top Iron Chef...but yeah. This show adds a new one every season it's gotten silly.

[@michaelchallis4129]

What a controversial opinion.

[@phillysub5115]

Is this channel a rehash of the 'Nicki' channel (or whatever it was called)

[@Vincent_Beers]

yes

[@chefsanders9151]

The original Iron Chef Japan is the only Iron Chef show worth watching. The rest are shit

[@jackaljyve]

interesting

[@MansMan42069]

No wonder it sucked
