 Iron Chef America is nothing like the brilliant original. By Dana Stevens
Iron Chef doesn't aim to teach its viewers how to cook themselves; its purpose is to wow us with displays of world-class culinary virtuosity, and on that level, the Western version is just as jaw-dropping as its Asian counterpart.
There's so much to dig about the Japanese Iron Chef: the opening shot of the flamboyantly costumed Chairman Kaga Takeshi biting lustily into a yellow pepper; the high theatrics and samurai machismo of the cooking competition itself; the glorious inanity of the celebrity tasters.
Suffice it to say that Iron Chef devotees may come for the glamour and spectacle of the original Japanese series, but if they stick around, it'll only be for the food.
