Is it apathy? Is the notion of bullies=strength and American cheese is all about strength? Do people still not take Tomme seriously? Do they think it’s impossible for the great American cheese not to become an authoritarian government cheese and that they opened the door to just that?
Iron Chef was a Japanese cooking competition television show where two cooking experts each have one-hour to make as many delicious meals as possible centered around a “theme ingredient”. The food is then presented to a panel of judges who give comments and then points for each meal. After that, a winner is decided. Simple, right?
But—like the food—the show truly shines through its unique flavor and presentation. Iron Chef is an experience. The host is theatrical. The commentators, sassy. The cooking stadium, grand. The challenger and Iron Chefs’ entrances, bombastic. And, the food, amazing.
…Well, it looks amazing. Enough, I get hungry watching every episode. Warning: Never watch Iron Chef on an empty stomach!
