Iron Chef - Notable Dishes

Notable Dishes

During the 2,000th Dish Battle, Chairman Kaga selected the five best and three worst dishes from the history of the show.

Five best dishes
  • Prawns in Chili Sauce Canapé Style (Iron Chef Chen Kenichi)
  • Foie Gras and Flatfish with Citrus Sauce (Iron Chef Rokusaburo Michiba)
  • Foie Gras and Scallops in Cabbage (Challenger Hiromi Yamada)
  • Sea Eel Royale with Truffle Sauce (Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai)
  • Scallop Salad with Vinaigrette Sauce (Challenger Maurice Guillouet)
Three worst dishes
  • Smoked Asparagus Stick Salad (Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto), the asparagus was so strongly smoked that all judges commented negatively.
  • Potato Dumpling Soup (Iron Chef Komei Nakamura), the smell of foie gras killed the aroma of the potatoes and nobody was able to finish it. Both chefs in that match reached a no-decision, therefore the match was restarted.
  • Soft Roe in Sake with Truffles (Challenger and commentator Yukio Hattori), gave Joël Robuchon the wrong impression of Japanese sake.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or dishes:

    “In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
    —For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Truth is a clumsy servant that breaks the dishes while washing them.”
    —Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
