Joe favorites: Iron Chef – post 45
I loves me some Iron Chef.
The original Japanese series… not the lame American version.
I remember a friend back in 2000 telling me about this crazy cooking show from Japan where the chefs cook things in only one hour. I though it sounded cool and decided to check it out on the Food Network.
Man was I hooked.
I never saw anything like this before. The over the top recipes with truffles, octopus’, giant lobsters, swallows nests, cuttle fish where just awesome! I don’t think I’d ever eat any of those dishes but it was so much fun to watch.
Then the Food Network took the show off the air.
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
bastards…
But thanks to the internet I’ve now down loaded about 170 episodes of 303(ish). It’s like30 some gigs that I have to try and organize in to chronological order. And I’ll do it too… I did it to my Mythbusters episodes ^_^ My goal is to try and get them all but I don’t think it’ll be possible plus I need to organize the ones I have first before I gather more.
Oh, and who’s my favorite Iron Chef? It’s Iron Chef Chinese Chen Kenichi, the szechwan sage of course ^_^
If you haven’t seen the Iron Chef before, I highly recommend you check it out. ^_^
