Sorry, Charlie. Chairman Kaga wants a theme ingredient that tastes good, not a theme ingredient with good taste. (You kids can go look that one up. You older folks should remember that ad campaign already.) Anyway, the theme for this week’s Episodes of the Week is Tuna.
The following battles may be found by searching our video database: Tuna (226), Fatty Tuna (635)

Imprinted upon your brain, forever, will be two facts by the end of this episode: Only one woman challenger has entered Kitchen Stadium before; and she defeated Chen Kenichi. (more…)
You all know the foods we’re talking about. The foods that mysteriously end up wrapped in their napkin. The foods that make kids willingly leave the table to do homework rather than eat. The foods that make them whine as soon as they see them on the plate. The theme for this week’s Episodes of the Week post is “foods that most kids hate.”

Iron Chef Japan will start airing on the Fine Living Network beginning May 5th. It looks like the show will be airing 5 nights a week at 11 PM ET/PT with a repeat at 3:00 AM ET/PT. The first 5 episodes are listed as follows:
They only have 85 episodes listed on their website, so it looks like we are not getting any new episodes at this time; however, it is good to see the show back on the air.
We will still have weekly Episodes of the Week posts and new additions to our video database. We will try to avoid posting episodes that are airing that week on TV so you have a variety of episodes from which to choose.
There were many special episodes of Iron Chef over the years. Despite the fact that the later FN show introduction mentioned and showed clips from some of these specials, most of them never aired on Food Network. (If anyone has any tapes of any of these specials, we will buy them from you. Contact us.)
The following episodes may be found by searching our video database: 415/416, 631, 802a, 802b, 901.
New in the database this week: New York Battle (802a/b), 21st Century Special (901)
