Iron Chef Collection

Here are four new additions to Beyond Kitchen Stadium.

• Fukui Raps – Kitchen Stadium announcer Kenji Fukui briefly entertains the guests on a TV show that he hosts in Japan, Japonica Logos.
• Iron Chef on Food Network – This is a segment of a show that aired about Food Network and its shows. It talks about the discovery of Iron Chef and the decision to air it on the network.
• Morimoto on Regis and Kelly – Regis Philbin went to Morimoto restaurant in New York to learn how to make sushi from the Iron Chef himself.
• Morimoto RAW – This is a special that aired on Food Network back in 2002. It is a behind the scenes look at the effort that went into opening Morimoto’s first restaurant in Philadelphia.

I am really sorry about the sporadic posting of. . .well, anything over the last few weeks. I can’t seem to stay on any kind of regular schedule. I will have up some new videos before the weekend and I will have an ICC Exclusives post for Tuesday of next week. Again, I’m really sorry for not sticking with my previously planned posting schedule.

BTW, does anybody know an easy way to extract video from Sega Saturn discs? If so, contact me.

Female Voice: Ten battles remaining. Five battles. Three. Two. One.

Fukui: That’s it. The posting is done. The Food Network battles are ovah!

That’s right. This is the final Episodes of the Week with Food Network battles. With today’s additions, we now have the complete collection of episodes that aired on Food Network. We are the only place that you can watch every single episode of Iron Chef that aired on Food Network. (Not even FLN can say that.)

• Carrot (220) – Chen vs. Takahashi – The challenger finished right behind Chen at the World Championships of Chinese cooking in 1992. He trained under the great Zhou Tomitoku.
• Pineapple (420) – The challenger was the first Thai cuisine chef to enter Kitchen Stadium.
• Peach (629) – Sakai vs. Watabe – “Assistants? We don’t need no stinkin’ assistants.” This challenger is determined to work alone during this battle. Will Sakai do the same?

There is the Legend of Zelda, the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, even the MST3K classic Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues. Of course, there were also two “Legend of. . .” specials that Fuji TV produced for Food Network. We present those two episodes to you this week as we are only one day from completing our collection of Food Network episodes.
