After hearing and seeing the judges ***** and whine about marios dish not tasting chocolate and they still gave him the win i realized just why i never watch the series.

Regarding Morimoto, yeah, the TV commercial is out. So it's confirmed that it's Rob Feenie vs Morimoto.

Agreed. I have no good thing to say about the judges. Some of the regular actors and whatnot, ok. But that supposed-to-be food critic lawyer fat ass. I just despise the guy... *shrug*

My personal favorite is Morimoto but I like Kobe too for his hilarious jokes.
Yeah...I only watch IC:A because there's always the possibility of Flay losing....

I was pretty surprised by the outcome.

Granted...I only tuned in at 9:54. I have a midterm so I wanted to know the outcome and the score. Imagine my surprise when Feenie wiped the floor with Morimoto! I always thought Feenie wouldn't be able to step up with the pressure of having to cook 5 courses in 1 hr, and thought that Morimoto's experience would make him the best of the three ICs. Turns out I was wrong on both accounts!

I don't really like Feenie's cooking style though -- super unhealthy :razz: He even drizzled duck fat over his salad once....of course it tastes good -- it's so good it's killing you! :lol:

Morimoto is still a superb chef based on what I've seen about him on TV. Feenie trumped him today. But I was surprised Feenie beat him so much by Originality. I first thought he was brewing his own disaster for creating a sushi type dish as the appetizer, basically shoving it right up Morimoto's nose. I guess it paid off because Morimoto didn't make sushi.

And that's why I like him a lot. Butter, confit, hahahaha. All good stuff. :cheesygri

Also, the whole atmosphere isn't the same in the US version as it was in the Japanese version.

I personally thought that Morimoto was the worst of the bunch of Japanese Iron Chefs. Best was definately Chen Kenichi... then tie between Kobe and the French chef (damn, can't remember that name too!).
Alton Brown was a good host but I think they need another person to play off what they think the chefs are cooking. Like Fukui san. Kevin Braunch is just awful. I think he should just stick to his Thirsty Traveler thing. He doesn't know anything about food.

I used to watch Iron Chef diligently before. I enjoyed all there cooking but I find Hiroyuki Sakai and Chen kenichi to be the best of the Iron chef. I like Morimoto because he got the most challenge because of his neo japanese cuisine when he would fuse different type of cooking in his japanese cuisine. He was working at Nobu when he was taping Iron chef so he had to be more creative as the establishment in Japan regarded him as an outsider.

I don't know where ICA got their tasters. They are just terrible and don't seem to have much knowledge in food. If the tasters are better, then the ICA series will get better.

Fuku san, or however you spell it, is the main commentator (not doc, but the main guy). His name is Oto (Kevin Braunch's role)

They have been re-running for the past 3 weeks or so. The battle between Feenie and Morimoto was pretty good actually. No idea where to find them online. Good luck

Did they release a series of Iron Chef America onto DVD or VHS?

I don't have the Food Network, but I do have a $10 giftcard from direct energy for blockbuster...

I found all the Iron chefs (Japan, America) all on this one torrent page, but now hardly anybody is seeding them anymore and I deleted them after watching them. Feenie did pretty well!
