Has anyone seen the travesty that is Iron Chef USA? I am so disappointed in my fave cable network (The Food Network) that they would dare come up with an American version of the Japanese classic! Did it work with "Godzilla?" - I think not. William Shatner as the emcee? Give me a freakin break! He could never measure up to the showmanship/wardrobe of Takeshi Kaga! Did they think they could compete with the dramatic competitions that have taken place in Kitchen Stadium? How can they think that Iron Chef USA would be nearly as entertaining as THE Iron Chef, what with the commentary, dubbed voices, subtitles, unique ingredients...that's what makes Iron Chef so great!
I won't even go there with the "Martha Stuart olive guy" chef, and Bruce Vilanche (sp?) as a judge.
I am just a huge Iron Chef fan, and was wondering if fellow enthusiasts were as disturbed as I was over this new wannabe show.
