Loving: Iron Chef Japan
By:
Mark Levine
Pioneering cooking show meets Mystery Science 3000 meets Godzilla vs. Mothra -- all tucked inside the infamous confines of Chairman Kaga's Kitchen Stadium.
If you haven't watched the original Iron Chef in a while, it's just kind of great -- like finding a lonely $5 on the sidewalk or realizing that your neighbor folded the laundry you left in the dryer.
To get you in the mood, enjoy a tangy amuse bouche of Iron Chef trivia -- allez cuisine!
