We eat that? Got the host wrong. Tried too hard. Lasted one series before the plug was pulled because it was too expensive. It was like the merciful drowning of a deformed puppy. Have other international versions made your wok boil? Please let me know in the form below Challengers were allowed to choose from four boxes, each of which contained a theme ingredient. In one episode, Fukui mentions that he and Hattori will be sharing the demonstration dish. So now you know where it goes! A week before the show tapes, both the Iron Chefs and the challenger were given a list of five ingredients.
The final ingredient was chosen from this list but they didn't know which it would be until Kaga announced it during the taping. This way they had some time to request special ingredients and cooking utensils not to mention special serving dishes like the ice bowls seen on Battle Salmon Roe. Also, after the theme ingredient was announced, the chefs had about 5 minutes to gather their wits and get their cooking strategy sorted out before the "Gong of Fate" sounded.
Part of the reason for that is that the cameras and crew needed to position themselves for the next shot. This set was used for many other shows, so it needed to be taken down after each taping session and reassembled each time.
Special gas lines for the stoves and water lines were laid down each time, too. The fire department had a few members standing by during tapings to supervise.
Kenji Fukui is the main commentator that does all of the introductions and most of the talking. The gentleman on the far left is Mr. Yukio Hattori, owner of the Hattori School of Nutrition. Hattori is quite knowledgeable about food and often provided insight and education about the theme ingredient or culinary techniques. The people in the middle are the guest commentators who tended to be celebrities and not necessarily food experts.
In Japan, the show started in October originally as a 30 minute program on Sunday nights. The show was wildly popular, so they expanded it to an hour 45 minutes without commercials and it was on air Friday nights at pm.
Occasionally, a longer special would air. These usually tend to be around the New Years time frame. The viewing audience tended to be the younger generation, mainly men and women in their 20s and 30s.
In , the show was nominated for an Emmy. The show stopped its weekly production in September of , though the producers said they would continue to make specials, about 4 a year. Two have been produced so far in The weekly show production was halted because the producer wanted to end the show while it was still popular typical for Japanese programs The high costs to produce the show - including Kaga's extravagantly foppy clothes!
Each chef may be awarded up to 20 points by each judge, with ten given for taste and five each for presentation and originality. Winners were determined by the number of judges who scored them higher. If tied, points were counted and the chef with the greater number of points became the winner. In later series, if still tied, a 30 minute "overtime" tie-breaker cook-off took place with a new and cheap ingredient. Info stolen archived for posterity from wikipedia and the defunct ironchef.
The movie Backdraft , by Hans Zimmer. Listen to a bit. He's politely interrupting the commentator, Mr Fukui. Supposedly ashamed by the performance of his Iron Chefs, the less romantic truth is that Kaga the actor was also in a stage production at the time, and there was a scheduling conflict with taping of the battle and one rehearsal that could not be resolved.
