Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yeah, the original IC would occasionally throw some very weird ingredients at the chefs.
Mike Nelson of MST3K used to have the occasional column in TV Guide a few years back, and he did a VERY funny essay on watching a bunch of the original Iron Chef. I think I may have saved it with other MST clippings I've compiled.
t pack rat I'd close that tag but who am I foolin'?
Congratulations Wolfram and family!
Another thing about ICA I love is the groan of dread that comes forth whenever somebody starts working with the ice cream maker. That was a highlight of the behind-the-scenes show they did.
It was the highlight of the taping I was at, too. Alton's dread and the chefs' glee are palpable when that thing gets turned on. Especially if it's done stealthily and they don't know exactly what went into it, as happened when I was there.
I'd love to see something equivalent to the original IC's Milk Battle.
I'd say that the closest they've come to that was battle pizza DOUGH! (That's where the chairman earns the big bucks, by the way: his delivery of the name of the secret ingredient.)
THE BAYLISS FACTION WILL *NOT* BE APPEASED SO EASILY.
Nora, Bwah! I have one of his cookbooks, but I should pick up his latest because he's written this one so it has slightly easier to find ingredients that may not be quite as traditional, but work in the recipies.
Poor erika. All this Bayliss talk and no Pembleton to be seen.
They should set up some faction devoted to the purity of southwestern cuisine.
Now, I've never seen this show, but since "purity of southwestern cuisine" can only be agreed upon in maybe increments of mayb 200 square miles, it would carry on for-fricking-ever. There's the anti-tomato-in-chili faction, or the pro-beans-in-chili lobby, not to mention the green vs red war veterans... pork, chicken or beef? Stewed or ground? And don't even get started on the issue of fish tacos...
How much do I love the ASSCAP usage in the discussion of IC? Very much.

Excellent...

Beet ice cream was the most bizarre one, mostly because of the color as well as what I imagine the taste to have been.
