== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Ranma One Half|Ranma ½]]'' took about half of its plots from this trope, ranging from gymnastics to fast food sales to a "martial arts marriage contest" in [[The Movie|one of the movies]], almost all of which had their own [[Martial Arts and Crafts|ridiculous fighting style devoted solely to it]]. The hot-headed Ranma was easily maneuvered into such contests - even, memorably, a [[Cooking Duel]] to see who was more ''feminine''. At least two were ''literal'' cooking duels that didn't involve any unlikely fighting techniques (though one did include some [[Implausible Fencing Powers|impossible use of cooking knives]]).

* ''[[Digimon Xros Wars]]'' has one in Sweets Zone.
Line 92:
** ''Ready Steady Cook'' (''Ready.. Set... Cook!'' in the USA) - Debuted in Britain in 1994, USA in 1995, independant of any [[Iron Chef]] populairty (1993 in Japan, then to the USA a few years later). Two chefs each team up with a normal person, receive a mystery bag of ingredients and have to prepare a meal with it.
** And ''[[Chopped]]'' which takes the secret ingredient concept from ''[[Iron Chef]]'' and multiplies it.
*** The ''[[ICarlyiCarly]]'' episode "iCook" has a parody of these shows complete with an [[Expy]] of Bobby Flay who has a nervous breakdown when he loses.
* Numerous reality shows, like ''America's Next Top Model'', would also fit this trope.
* ''[[The Brady Bunch]]'' had several of these, frequently between the boys as a group and the girls as a group.
