dude, do you always smoke crack before posting?Caravan Ray wrote:Chen Konichi isn't an Iron Chef's arsehole as far as I'm concerned. He's a disgrace to Kitchen Stadium.
And why isn't there an Iron Chef English? That would be bloody funny.
Or Iron Chef American... Iron Chef Fatto Bastardo?
And surely, if they were fair dinkum about this show, then any Iron Chef who loses to a challenger should have to commit seppuku on the spot. And have his assistants arrange his remains decoratively on a plate and serve them up to the judges. That would be great television. Old Chen Konichi would pull his finger out then, wouldn't he.
first of all, it's KENICHI. at least get that right if you're gonna slam the guy. the guy is an acknowledged, critically praised chef, whose reputation has been proven and validated by his success and tenure on Iron Chef. He was one of the original iron chefs and he was the only one to continue through the entire run of the series.

Bio: Chen Kenichi
Iron Chef Chinese Chen Kenichi has been on the show from the very beginning and is the only original Iron Chef remaining. He was born in Tokyo, where his father, Chen Kenmin, was an acclaimed Chinese chef well known for his sauces. Chen Kenmin is credited with introducing Szechwan cooking to Japan, and also with creating the much loved dish "Shrimp in Chili Sauce." Kenichi inherited his father's style of "Japanese-Szechwan" cooking and also his flair for sauces.
After attending Tamagawa University, Kenichi apprenticed in Shisen Hanten. He continued to develop his Szechwan cooking, which is considered among the most progressive cuisines in the world. Currently, he is responsible for running the Shisen Hanten group, which has restaurants in Akasaka (where Kenichi cooks), Ikebukuro, Kisarazu, Hiroshima, and Ogura.
second of all, there is an Iron Chef America. 3 of them in fact.
get your facts straight! and allez cuisine!!!
