Gack. :bleh:


Did you watch the show?

Man, those two weird guys that were joined at the hip irritated me: they kept mugging for the camera like those fools at sports events...

Battle of the soups: oden teishyoku vs. tonjiru teishyoku....




Results: Oden Teishyoku barely wins, 4-3. :)

This sounds like an interesting show. The last competition cooking show that drew my attention was Iron Chef (the original Japanese version, not the William Shatner and Alton Brown remakes). I'm curious as to how this show compares with Iron Chef in terms of entertainment.

I think this show is a lot more fun and humorous than Iron Chef... What's fascinating about this show is the little side stories about how dedicated some of the food suppliers are to producing the absolute best product (daikon, shar siu, sweet potato, etc.)... :D

Maybe it's my imagination but that SMAP guy is always on the winning team... He never goes hungry.

Very suspicious. :hehe:

The other thing is he's always on the show... Can't get another paying gig, I guess. :hehe: :hehe:

Today's food competitors:

Miso tsuke men (misso-dipped noodles) vs. Bibinmen (spicy kimchi-miso noodles)


Additional kooky features to the show: a transvestite actor (?) and two obnoxious, camera-mugging comedians (?)...

Crazy stuff. :hehe:

Miso tsuke men wins, 5-2...

And the SMAP guy was on the losing side... :shocked: As were those two goofballs (they counted as a single vote... maybe they were married or something. :rolleyes:)...

Tonight's combatants: BBQ ribs vs. Chinese-style fried chicken...


And the winner is:

BBQ ribs, 5-2. :woot: :applaud:

Man... I guess they're really running out of show ideas... to have ribs vs chicken is a no brainer decision.... :hehe: RIBS ALL THE WAY!! :woot:

It wasn't as easy as you think: it started 1-6 in favor of the chicken, then 3-4, still in favor of the chicken... I was really surprised to see it shift to the final result of 5-2, in favor of the ribs...

I was surprised, even though I shouldn't have been, when they visited a Tony Roma's in Japan... :D

So many American resturants are now moving to Japan... I wonder who actually operates them... American people or Japanese people... :crazy:

At first I thought it was just an ugly woman with a short haircut, but when he/she spoke, it was a guy's voice...! :shocked:
