Happy Birthday, Iron Chef
On this date sixteen years ago, 10/10/1993, the first episode of Ryouri no Tetsujin aired on Fuji TV. And while I would love to announce that I have that first episode, I think we all know it is highly unlikely that we will ever find it. But that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate. Take the opportunity to watch some of your favorite episodes today.
- Watch some memorable challengers (Kandagawa and Flay, Kobayashi, Molinari)
- Watch an episode featuring an live theme ingredient. (Octopus, Sturgeon, Lobster)
- Check out the selection of Japanese language episodes
- Watch some Beyond Kitchen Stadium videos – especially this one about the beginning of Iron Chef on Food Network
- Our newest addition, our first English subtitled episode from the pre-Food Network days.
Keep voting for the next subtitled episode to be posted. A new one will go up mid-week this week.
