Japanese cultural appreciation time
Japan has given the world so much: sushi, ramen, kabuki theatre, origami, geisha, love hotels, kareoke. But, like I've said before, the most important thing they've given the world is Iron Chef. I came across the Wikipedia entry on the show (thanks, Joe, great effort on SoA). It brings a tear to my just to read it: Each episode presents a culinary battle between two chefs in "Kitchen Stadium". A contestant, usually a famous chef from Japan or elsewhere, is pitted against one of the show's four "Iron Chefs". Each of the Iron Chefs is an expert in a different cuisine, either Japanese, Chinese, French, or Italian. The chefs have one hour to complete their dishes. At the end of the hour, a panel of Japanese celebrities tastes and rates the dishes and crowns a victor.Thank you, Wikipedia. Thank you, Japan. posted by Simon on 12.17.04 at 01:34 PM in the

This is a blatant rehash. It saddens me that you need to come back to this in order to maintain volume. posted by: charlie on 12.20.04 at 05:22 PM [permalink]you forgot Bukkake posted by: Yobbo on 12.21.04 at 04:24 PM [permalink] |
