The "Iron Chef American" Show is so gay!

I think its stupid to have just Americans as judges. They should have imported a few Japanese judges to make things fair. The original Iron Chefs cooked food that Japanese people liked while the American chefs cooked more American styled food. It was pretty obivious who was going to win.
 
I thought that the show was trying hard to be tongue-in-cheek about it's relationship with the original... I kinda thought it was funny.

Think about it... Iron Chef America should only have US judges just like the original had only Japanese. I think that Flay really did beat Sakai on the flavor of the dishes... honestly the stuff that Flay makes has some very complex and bold tastes. That prolly made it stand out more in the minds of the judges than the subtler flavors that Sakai was using... also Flay's stuff tends to be more "satisfying." You may think Flay is a buttnugget but go eat at his restaurant first. Mesa Grill's food is very good.

I did think that Mario should have lost his battle though... but some of Morimoto's dishes seemed kinda half-hearted.

Oh, and another vote for Ming Tsai... he should go up against Chen Kenichi! Iron Chef, Special Versus Battle!
 
Part of the reason I like the original show is it's like a cooking fear factor, you wonder what nastyness they are about to create.

Fish eyes on a pillow of urchin roe floating on a sea of raw lobster juice. :Q

Monk fish stew with live eals and octopus.

Crawfish ice cream.

I think 99% of the stuff they make looks gross. Screw upper-class gourmet food, gimme a hot dog with mac and cheese any day over that stuff.

Edit: I'm mostly referring to the original IC. Is the American version all (or mostly) american foods?

So you're a redneck?

Did you use your jump to conclusions mat for that one?

I just prefer a good home-cooked meal over anything that a chef spends as much effort on appearance than they do taste.

You could say I'm a picky eater, but I fail to see how you can relate that to being a redneck.

Thanks for confirming that you're a redneck and possibly trailer trash too, but I won't jump that far yet.

I really think Sakai should've won. If not only lose by a little. Obviously the guys didnt' like the trout ice cream idea.

I'm actually grand, but evidently you aren't willing to admit you're a redneck.

Because that would be lying. What, by your ridiculous standards, qualifies me as a redneck?
