Iron Chef/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Okay, look at the picture on the main page. One of the things we remember Kaga for is his dramatic pepper chomp. Fast forward to 2006, where Takeshi Kaga played Soichiro Yagami in ''[[Death Note]]''. Among other things, Soichiro's son [[Light Is Not Good|Light]] was known for...shall we say, epic potato chip eating. Cue jokes about just ''where'' he got that from.

* [[Ho Yay]]: Surprisingly enough: In an ICA battle where the theme was snails, Jeffery Steingarten bemoaned the fact that there were no African snails, which he preferred. Alton then suggested he take the other male judge out for a dinner of that later. Appropriate music then played.

** After Kevin asked one of the Carro twins (can't remember which) about a dish and Chef Carro told him what it was called, Kevin said he almost wanted to date him; the way he pronounced that made his heart melt.

** The second match between Bobby Flay and Masaharu Morimoto in the 21st Century special was called (of all things) the Tango in Tokyo.

*** That was a play on various boxing matches, such as the Thrilla in Manilla.

** ICA [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iaq6_JkGPU Battle Octopus], between Michael Symon and Gavin Kaysen, both from Next Iron Chef.

'''Kaysen:''' Thank you. }}

** And later Kaysen wipes Symon's head for him, which Symon returns with a friendly kiss on the cheek and a man hug.

** Of course, Alton himself has fallen in this trope himself with regards to ''[[Good Eats]]''.

* [[Never Live It Down]]: Neither fans nor the staff of ''Iron Chef America'' will let Bobby Flay forget the cocky attitude he had in his battles during the original show's run. For example, during the Wild Boar battle:

'''Bobby Flay:''' ''I'm just cutting pineapples!'' }}

** Surprisingly, the only person who is polite and modest enough not to remind him of his [[Jerkass]] attitude at IC Japan's New York Battle is ''Morimoto''. Perhaps the guy just wanted to bury the hatchet with Flay and decided not to touch old scars (seeing as they became [[Friendly Enemy|friendlier to each other]] during IC America's run), or Flay has already earned Morimoto's forgiveness now that he treats his cooking implements with respect.
