Food Wars is hilarious, watch the first 4 seasons and be happy. There is No Season 5. THere is no War in Ba Sing Se.

[@iegendkilla8559]

I’d love for you guys to get ChefPK on the podcast. He can explain more of food wars and cooking in anime to yall

[@alram9200]

Damn beat me to it.

[@groofay]

100%, they need ChefPK on this show.

[@ncz2]

Yes! This.

[@Narding5566]

Yes yes yes

[@bryansolomon-puertas4260]

100% would be great content.

[@Positiffity_Vibes]

I love Frenchie’s enthusiasm watching “Food Wars” he’s definitely hooked 😂🥰😂

[@ShiroKage009]

Food Wars is amazing. It's an incredibly raunchy show with a deep exploration of different dishes and cuisines. It got many people genuinely excited to cook. I would watch like the first 3 seasons at least.

[@Erawan89]

I remember reading the manga for Food Wars weekly when it first came out and it was so good, the quality of the manga dropped drastically the later parts. I think it was because at the beginning, the author consulted with a real chef named Yuki Morisaki, but then she went on maternity leave. No other consultant was hired and it became too over the top with super powers and bad editors and the quality dipped.

[@HellsingRuler]

Yes that was the final story arc. It involved cooking with chainsaws.

[@hakeem311]

The final arc was something that happened because his editors didn't want him to write a story about soumas mom so he just said f it and ended it that way instead of how he wanted

[@fictionaddict3835]

Wait seriously? That sucks ​@@hakeem311

[@mmn7209]

But it's a border line h-anime. But that's what he used to do before this, so what did we expect.

[@banninghamma]

Morisaki is more often labelled as a food researcher or a culinary expert than a chef, something closer to Alton Brown than Gordon Ramsay. She has been a popular TV personality both from her cooking knowledge and her beauty.

[@Venser420]

The fact that Frenchie knows what Delicious in Dungeon is you guys gotta do that one too.

[@TheJErmafiEd]

Frenchie "why have I not been watching anime?!?!😮" 😂😂

[@assassin_eclipse]

So, this is from Episode 2 of the first season of Food Wars. It's probably the best way to introduce what this show is all about (over-the-top cooking with theatricals + people orgasming from food), but what this intro doesn't show is that the students will do cook-offs betting various things on the line. Everything in the first 70-ish% of the manga (corresponding to the first 4 seasons) is somewhat grounded in reality, while Season 5 (the Blue arc with the Noir) is where things go off the rails. A few interesting episodes that I can think of for you and Frenchie to react, off the top of my head, are: - Season 1 Ep 14 (talks about serving food in large quantities, something the both of you are very experienced at) - Season 2 Eps 11-12 (Soma goes on an "internship" program where he works in actual restaurants, I think you two will find this fascinating) - Season 3 Ep 17-18 (bear meat, something you don't see often) - Season 4 Ep 10-11 (pair cooking, one cooks appetizer and another cooks main dish) - Season 5 Ep 6 (yes, this is the chainsaw cooking episode) Do note that the sections in Seasons 3 and 4 contain quite a lot of spoilers, if you intend to watch the show, probably don't skip straight to these episodes

[@kelvingio1991]

You guys should really watch Food Wars. Aside from the over-the-top 'aesthetics,' the show genuinely respects the culinary world, in my opinion. The food visuals are absolutely mouth-watering, so you might want to have some snacks handy while watching

[@JeannetteHapp]

Petition: when you put your mini-screens into the corner, can you, please, put Frenchie on the left and Brian on the right, so when you look at each other in real life it looks like it on screen? hahah because in this video it looks like you're both looking of-screen haha

[@brandonrawlerson2226]

This is the episode i prayed for. The love for food in this anime is unmatched

[@Kangstor]

fun fact. Illustrator Shun Saeki for the manga was a hentai mangaka before working on Shoukugeki no Souma which is why the 'foodgasms'.

[@jebus_.]

I lost it with Frenches reaction to needing to watch anime now 😂

[@rkrom4231]

I would absolutely watch yall react to Food Wars 😂 a lot of it is shockingly accurate food science later on and its like... unironically got a good plot. Its probably one of the highest rated ecchi anime...

[@adamskyworks]

before Food Wars, there was "Yakitate!! Japan" about baking bread i recommend it

[@ShawnTuckertheShoninzo]

I remember being in college and watching food wars, and remaking our favorite dishes from from each season

[@ncz2]

Honestly, Food Wars had some serious research in it. Would love to see you guys try to recreate a dish or two from it! Edit: Get ChefPK on the podcast or do a collab or something. Your commenters are much smarter than I am lol. Also react to every episode of Food Wars.

[@falkarios2944]

ChefPK is a great cooking channel to refer to for more Food Wars related cooking. He watched the entire show and cooked most of the food from the Anime on his channel. Also the lewd over the top stuff is mostly in season 1, they tone it down a bit in the other season's. The "foodgasm's" are a constant though. 😂

[@AJLaz000]

Uncle Roger: "is this cooking wideo or onlyfan?" people who have seen the show from beginning to end: " *YES* "

[@Denzbrujah]

Love the chemistry between Brian and Frenchy

[@FreezerBurn]

This could not have been released at a better time - thIs is the perfect way to start my long weekend here in the UK! New room looks great!

[@Kinkajou1015]

Y'all need to reach out to Kent Survival, he apparently used to run a company where he made bbq and hot sauces by himself, got burnt out, took a hiatus, and now he's bringing back his sauces but with a professional manufacturer to make them now. Would be a good contrast to the Pink Sauce crap, seeing someone that did it right.

[@kaiser9109]

Actually Food Wars was very popular when it released and was watched by almost the entire anime community and not just nerds. Watching anime in the last decade has become commonplace tbh

[@highpriestofthiccmumeism]

You should definitely watch ALL 4 SEASONS of Food Wars(we don't talk about Season 5) with ChefPK,(pretty sure he'd be down) because not only he's a Chef but loves Anime and has tried recreating some of the dishes from Food Wars on his Channel. Seeing as how you two aren't hardcore Anime watchers, ChefPK can explain some of the Nuances in Anime for Western folks lol

[@YTJRBC2]

REACT TO THE WHOLE SHOW XD even when it gets really weird near the end its still great content.

[@alcor4670]

Kinda funny how Uncle Roger keeps saying that _Food Wars_ is "for children", when it most certainly isn't. They _could,_ but I would strongly advise against it.

[@YTJRBC2]

@@alcor4670 there's no censorship possible for foodwars to go into a e rating without cutting like 40% of the show lol

[@roalpaur]

please, cheek the whole series. so many good recipes

[@professorkitkat]

This was the anime to get me hooked onto anime! I watched it every week after all my culinary classes!

[@michaeldar2739]

"No way. Why have I not been watching anime?" Frenchie's fascination is just 😹👌

[@Sparkle0310-k9w]

You need to show Frenchy some French dish from this show. Chou Farci, Venison dishes and Soma' stuffed quail are some of the examples

[@Sharky762]

I like the new side by side setup, feels more like a chat at the bar where I'm the bartender

[@flaminghelper617]

Chef PK actually make a real life version of the foods on the show. I highly recommend you to try reacting to it. I think he even make it like under a timer

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

One of these days I gotta get to Brians shop. Went to frenchys place last time, went to Farmer in the Deli in Bklyn the other day, but missed Mission. Maybe next trip🤣😂🤣

[@amberyoung4425]

That dude running in different things🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the heelys got me when he fell, been there done that... In front of all my neighbors😂😂😂never again🤣🤣

[@dannythemann6]

I've been WAITING to see frenchie's reaction to this! If only y'all could react to the show 😢. Dang it youtube. But y'all need to see souma's gotcha pork roast. SO GOOOOOOOD!

[@russellward4624]

Theres loads of good videos of people making many of the dishes from the show. Definitely worth a watch.

[@rinthewolf]

I'd like to see you guys react to this show. It actually teaches real cooking knowledge and is very entertaining. But make sure you bring a snack because every episode is gonna make you hungry.

[@TheFonzieCommunity]

As someone that has worked in the food industry, and loves anime… it’s a great show!!! It uses the ecchi in a way to describe good food, and how well it’s made!! People will sometimes will say “ohhhh that’s so good” or “mmm…” or “yummy” before critiquing food.

[@Narding5566]

You need to react to Food Wars episodes. Seeing how happy Frenchie is on this one, this will be his reward after watching all Jamie Oliver videos

[@xlabeatz]

I never knew I needed this, but I need a reaction to a whole season of Food Wars 👀🔥😂

[@HuaYunlan8]

Food Wars was made by a former hentai artist, which is why it's kinda very erotic

[@casteanpreswyn7528]

"Thats what it feels like when you're on molly." Didn't realize Frenchie was one of my people.

[@Daugust77]

Frenchy completely missing the joke at 34:48 Lmao

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

C'mon Brian, Train Frenchy....its "Back in the New York GROOVE"!!!!!

[@DanielGalazVlogs]

Would love a reaction series of this show accompanied by the recipe being made in real life for comparison if available from input from both chefs

[@ghostdragon4164]

Quite a few Food Wars recipes have been recreated by youtubers too

[@toby01sk41]

Could you both react to Tasting history with Max Miller. He cooks historical food and you may find him interesting.

[@flicdabic]

I've felt tingling in the nether region watching a video of Porchetta being sliced. The sound of the crispy skin, the juicy meat, it all touched me deeply. Same thing with close ups of brisket from the smoker being sliced. The bark, smoke ring, the delicious looking fat from the point. I like food too much...

[@BigBlanketSix]

Brian laughing at Food Wars killed me

[@LeonardoPostacchini]

You guys should react to the entire anime, it is incredibly fun, I bet Frenchy would have such funny reactions to it.

[@aokhoinguyenang3992]

No, there is no dr*g used in this anime. Chuuka Ichiban is the anime with evil chefs adding "exotic spice" into their cooking. The final boss doesn't even need to add anything into his food, he can turn normal ingredients into "exotic food" that can manipulate people(his lair is filled with victims of his experiment)

[@phr3dmcc0y]

NIGEL is in his 30s. uncle roger is 52.

[@HolyRain89]

Lol, no one gonna hate uncle roger opening his restaurant in the country he is born in, especially Malaysia.😂 Infact the radio station here is announcing his restaurant opening celebrations here currently.😂 Also I think I remember somewhere says the author of food wars is a H manga artist before drawing for food wars, it also explains how explicit the show is.😂

[@AkiraNasuki]

ChefPK made his name through Food Wars, he was a chef that mainly reacted to Food Wars and broke down the show and replicated the food and even has a cook book

[@LongXue]

They should have reacted to the first dish instead, cause that looks so gooood, the bacon wrapped potato thingy and the foodgasm there was on a another level btw, this is not the best way to introduce anime cause it's an ecchi show xD

[@deec.9575]

I love these two! Watching y’all makes me want to learn the craft that is cooking. In fact, I bought my first Chinese knife watching Chef Brian cut with it in one of the earlier videos 😂 And Chef Paul is 😘🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@thoughtsrants4564]

Frenchie is enjoying this too much 😂😂😂😂

[@dagon7259]

Please react to people recreating recipes from food wars. It's actually interesting seeing professionals and chefs react to both the anime version and people that do cook it irl and comparing them.

[@timothyeury3330]

Hey fellas! Frenchie, the song is Back in the New York Groove. I know it from Ace Frehley. Love the podcast!

[@legoslash4799]

You guys may wanna invite @ChefPk into this. That guy can give you alot of insights regarding this anime 😊

[@robill1]

Chef Pk transforming rice episode. Must watch

[@thoughtfulfreespace]

Another comment mentioned it, but yeah having ChefPK for food wars explanation would be great. Food wars was very popular for a few reasons, great show. Dungeon Meishi is another great food one. Definitely recommend watching some anime, there's a show for everyone.

[@groofay]

Frenchy is so happy this episode, love to see it! I suppose this is what three weeks of not being forced to react to Jammie Olive-Oil does to a man 😂

[@mishimayuuki]

food wars is really good, and basically she was having a foodgasm lol the author of the swries use to wrte hentai/ecchi so thats why theres stuff like that in the show

[@wowcarnage]

I spend two months in France because of work. Knowing traffic there, I would love to see the "Asian" going on a ROAD trip lol.(sorry stereotypes exists)😅 People just bump into your car, say "pardon" and drive off like it's normal every day business.. WICH IT IS!! 😂 Some amazing scenery though, absolutely beautiful. Especially the chateau's. For a chef, I think visiting France at least once in your life is a must have. The food, the wines, just so much of the country is dedicated to the culinary experience.

[@-zerxvil-5208]

34:42 - 34:52 *52 is Uncle Roger persona's age, not Nigel*

[@ejay7606]

Please remember that Animation is a medium and is not exclusive for kids. The subject can range from kids to porn(hentai). Food Wars is a great show that you two should check out.

[@h1r086]

People forget south park exists.

[@dutchy661]

OMG Frenchy! you jump scared me, my poor heart 🥵😂

[@dutchy661]

Oh and guys, you should deffo watch the whole series, I totally enjoyed it as a foody myself 😋

[@darryl7803]

the god tongue said the food was disgusting because she is experiencing a love hate situation, she loves how great the food was but hates how annoying the protagonist is.

[@Allocution_TK]

As a Tekken player, i see the WGF and i think "So you Wind God Fist"

[@redrook]

You guys really should do an episode of Food Wars. It's pretty great.

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

Ill have to have my buddy Kenny in Selangor check out Unco Wajo joint. Kenny is in with the Cigarette mob there in the KL😂🤣😂

[@Garland41]

Definitely need Frenchie fo see more Food Wars, and you should definitely connect with Chef PK for anime food content.

[@sassyghost_8]

Food Wars is absolutely ridiculous but that’s kind of why it’s good.

[@bbwiebz3994]

brian you realise the emotional damage guy was also in uncle roger video. they done an exclusive interview video too. to the untrained eye they look like brothers

[@joanna.felicja]

Set looks great! Best wishes to you, Brian gor your recovery ❤ lots of love for you two from your 10% club 😊

[@paladonis]

Glad everything went well on the surgery and you both are doing well! Always a blast!

[@Gloomfall]

You should totally check out ChefPK he did a ton of stuff with Food Wars and other anime food shows! I think he did this dish too!

[@peterpabon1288]

Hey chefs since you guys seem to be interested in food wars for the recipe recreation, almost all the recipes in the series have been recreated and you guys might be pleasantly surprised

[@OverlyExcitedFerret]

Bro I would kill for more reacts to this show lmfao. I think a lot of their dishes don't work out so well irl, but it's hilarious. And the age range is usually 16+, most watchers I see are in their early twenties

[@juntianwei9273]

Texas? Joshua Weissman collab coming?

[@franciscoromo7512]

My first thought

[@Angelicwings1]

Yes! More reactions to food wars please! I love that show so much! Please I’m begging you! Pleeeeeease pretty please! The later episodes go more into actual cuisines and cooking and you could really talk about things. There’s even a French episode.

[@DannyBedo]

I’m from San Jose where the first ever anime convention was ever held, I’ve been watching for 30 years everything from Speed Racer to Akira. Anime is for everyone. It usually has deeper character development and nicer animation than western stuff

[@Bassmunky26]

You should watch some of the actual food battles from it. Especially the ramen and curry ones. One person is always over the top best ingredients while soma uses lower end stuff and usually wins.

[@banninghamma]

Food in anime is another whole realm to dive into. You can make a feature length documentary on food in Ghibli anime alone. Frenchie should be intrigued on souffle omelette scene from the same anime.

[@WhatKindOfNameNow]

I hope you guys do watch Food Wars, even if you don't make a reaction series out of it. At the very least, it'd be fun to hear you two comment on certain scenes, such as when the series talks about the different aspects of the food industry, as well as some of the more interesting and iconic dishes the characters make (or any dishes that pique your personal interests).

[@avrylmoses7623]

This show is a gift that keeps on giving 😂

[@andreasltveit8580]

I love you intro in this one FRENCHIE!!!! hahahahaha

[@igs_]

More Food Wars please. It legit made me want to be a chef

[@m.zaryabsyed6393]

Potential collaboration with Joshua👀👀

[@Jerralyng49]

Anime is more for adult/young adult audiences. More adult type senerios in most. I love it and am 69 years young. 🤣

[@KibaSnowpaw]

i have watched all Sessions of Food wars.

[@rv862002]

I binged that anime in like a couple weeks its great.

[@ShinKageAkuma]

Someone is gonna clip Frenchie saying he would eat that lol.

[@jaf1x67]

The new studio looks good, Glad your healing up from surgery Brian! That's a painful one as you get older!

[@dorcusss3693]

This video just made me realize that I'd love to see Frenchie react to anime.

[@mmxiggi]

If you haven't watched any yet, I suggest watching ChefPk's transforming rice videos. He did a regular one and a "but faster" version.

[@lockport10]

Let's gooooo. React to the whole series please please please!!!

[@SeanTielemans]

You guys really should watch Food Wars. For the food and the foodgasms lmao

[@menphyy]

you guys should react to this entire anime 😂

[@azuredekabrist2025]

I love food wars that it actually got me into cooking more. I would love to see you react to ChefPK, he does alot of good anime food recreations
