Looking at the dishes made me hungry Hmm...the challengers tend to pick Morimoto and Kenichi, where is Sakai? | he has his own show on food netwrk as well, mario batali. _________________

["Iron Chef America is a separate series made by Food Network in which the original Fuji TV Iron Chefs competed as challengers. Of course, I've watched the episodes during last weekend and the scoring seemed so suspect as if they were rigged. Too much bias in favor of Flay because he's the "ace" of Food TV... If Julia Child were still alive, I'm sure she would have given the W to Morimoto and Sakai"]
Just saw the first episode of Iron Chef America this weekend. What a lousy show! Not only was the decision decidedly biased toward Flay, but the commentators, the judges, etc. all were biased as well. Also saw just a few minutes of the second episode and that wasn't any better. There was one segment in which the announcer interviews Flay regarding Morimoto and the only compliment Flay had was to say that Morimoto would come up with something different, unusual at the end of his cooking time - nothing about how talented Morimoto is, what his strengths are, why he's an Iron Chef, etc. Just, I'm sure he'll surprise us.
No way I'm watching that show again!

The most suspect score? Sakai lost on plating. How does the Delacroix of French Cooking lose to Bobby Flay's skillet plating? For god's sake, how does the man who has never lost a fish battle lose to Flay? Moreover, they called into question Sakai's integrity by stating that he would complain like ole Bobby Flay complained on the original Iron Chef.
Somehow Morimoto lost on originality, even though the judges were all like, "I've never seen anything like this before."
It was definitely rigged in the sense that it was a "passing of the torch" to the American Iron Chefs. Sakai got to show off his grape sauce, so maybe that was his payment for the show.
Improvements to the show?
1. Give the chairman some personality. There's no excitement in his voice or anything, and he just comes off as very stiff.
2. Put some more commentators. Banter between a few people fill up the silences and keeps the audience guessing...as well as fill-out knowledge deficits that the announcer has. Maybe an asian food expert, since the announcer doesn't seem to know too much.
3. Get a knowledgeable floor guy. Kevin just doesn't do it. He needs to find out what ingredients are in there.
4. There is no warmth in Kitchen Stadium. Looks too high tech and cold. Maybe change the lighting or make it seem less empty by putting in an audience you can see. _________________
