Line 6:
**** Besides, what's so shocking about a man with three brothers?
***** It's exasperating to have it sprung into canon without warning.
****** You're getting upset about the canon of a cooking show.
* And while I'm thinking about it, who the ''hell'' is playing the UK Chairman? British tropers, help me out here!
** Eizo Tomita, according to a website I can't link to because of [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]].
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
** In terms of the Australian version, I was more annoyed at the commercials spoiling who the Iron Chef would be in the next battle. Maybe it's because I'm spoiled by the way SBS does the commercials for ICJ, but I would've preferred some element of surprise.
* The existence of The Next Iron Chef. Okay, yes, it can be entertaining in its own right, but it does feel a little bit like milking the Iron Chef name.
** Agreed. Especially considering it has little to do with Iron Chef. I would have liked it if it was basically tournament style Iron Chef matches, but they go for reality show style challenges that would fit more in ''[[

*** Really, with Batali and Cora gone, Symon and Bobby Flay are the only ones left with any on-screen charisma, with Morimoto's draw being the tricks he pulls in the kitchen. Frankly Garces and Forgione are pretty boring to this troper's eye.
Line 29 ⟶ 30:
** And up until that addition, it's probably because French food is not as large a part of the American culinary landscape as others, being largely present only somewhat in cajun/creole (and it's... evolved... a bit). Italian and Asian food especially have become part of the "melting pot", while French food is a bit outsider and foreign.
*** ''Really''? Half the things in classical french cuisine have an American equivalent that descended ''directly'' from that dish or style, as well as similar dishes from elsewhere that evolved to be similar to the French dish.
**** Name twenty.
