Iron Chef Japanese, Masahru Morimoto is my favorite
Though I love them all. Sakai and Chen really grew on me. I swear Sakai is liquored up most of the time.
Actually, here is a little Iron Chef news for ya...
Iron Chefs in D.C. on September 14th: Five of the Iron Chefs (Ishinabe, Nakamura, Sakai, Kobe and Chin) are working with together with other chefs to launch a new site G-Chef.net. The site will have recipes, articles and a store tied to it (they're still fleshing out the content). In conjunction with the site launch, Ishinabe, Chin and Sakai will be in Washington D.C. on September 14th. At noon, Chin will be in a cookoff contest and at 5pm, Sakai will be cooking. Ishinabe will provide narration for the two events. It will take place in the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center (as part of the free summer entertainment series from " Live! on Woodrow Wilson Plaza") and is free to all. The two local area challengers should be Todd Grey of restaurant Equinox and Brian McBride.
