Iron chef -WTF!

[mrsflux]

Is anyone else watching this madness? I only saw 5 mins or so but it look mad!
I can see aspects of banzai, pokemon, the mad wine man off Saturday kitchen, random non celebrity chefs etc.
Do we think it'll last more than 5 mins or become cult viewing?

it's very american so therefore i am banning it

I saw about 5 minutes the other day.
There was a big build up to some kind of ingredient they had to use in the dish. I was expecting some outlandish thing I'd never heard of.

It was an onion

I know! Today it was...

ORANGES!!!!!!

Apparently they're a delicacy somewhere!

Tried to watch it yesterday but the whole programme is a mess, I had no idea what was going on. Very testosterone fueled as well.

The American is much better, they "do" over the top so much better and get away with it.

It is the biggest pile of pish I have ever watched in my life!!

I find the whole thing very bizarre. It was originally a Japanese format, which I think would be awesome becasue they make bonkers TV, but I don't think this is the kind of thing British people do very well...

"Battle Onion" did make me crack up

utter utter shite.

And I will watch anything. Wont be watching that again though.

Ah it looked like a Japanese creation, knowing how they have those chefs that prepare at your table. It also explains those very annoying knives with that terrible swishing sound. Hate it, hate it hate it.

A family member works on this programme and I really don't know what to say to him.
