While Mel Brooks wasn’t exactly talking about Iron Chef when he said that famous line in “History of the World: Part 1,” it is fitting for this week’s Episodes of the Week. As the time to close Kitchen Stadium came near, Chairman Kaga decided he wanted a final tournament to crown the King of the Iron Chefs.

Easter is this weekend, so I thought I’d make it this week’s Episodes of the Week theme. The obvious choice for an Easter theme would be eggs. While egg was the theme ingredient 5 times during the run of the show (203, 310, 417, 519, 709), three of the episodes did not air on Food Network, and the other two are already in our database. Of course, the whole point of these EotW posts is to add new episodes to the database, so let’s change directions slightly. This week’s Episodes of the Week theme is EGGplant.
New this week in the video database: Eggplant (225), Eggplant (330)
These episodes (225, 330, 622, BKS-tamago) may be found by searching our video database.
I know I may be feeding a stereotype of the Japanese diet with this week’s theme, but what else would you expect to see on a Japanese cooking show but Rice? Rice was the theme ingredient four times on Iron Chef. (Of course, it also had a huge role in the Sushi Battle, but that doesn’t count for this.)
New this week in the video database: Rice (340), Rice (610).
Of course, all of these episodes may be found by searching our video database.
This journey Beyond Kitchen Stadium takes us to China. Enjoy the opening sequence from the Beijing Special that originally aired in 1996. This special never aired on Food Network.
This video, like all of the others in Beyond Kitchen Stadium, is available for download or viewing in our files section.
With apologies to Anita Ward for using her song title, we present this week’s theme: Bell Pepper. Bell Pepper was the theme ingredient on four different occasions in Kitchen Stadium.
New this week in the video database: Bell Pepper (703), Bell Pepper (735)
Of course, all of these episodes may be found by searching our video database.
