It’s hard to believe this site launched in January of 2008. At the time, the site was a much needed repository for Iron Chef videos on the internet. And thanks to a few purchases from a collector in Japan and many generous donations of episodes from a collector in the US, we were able to see many battles most of us thought we would never see. And the revival of the show in 2012 led to rebroadcasts of the original first season episodes. What a treat to see the origins of Iron Chef. I enjoyed writing the old Episodes of the Week posts and meeting fans from all over the world.
Fast forward to 2018. You can find just about any episode you want on Youtube or Dailymotion or one of the other video sites. And there are other sources of information about the show that are maintained more frequently than this one. I hate to say it, but I don’t know that the site is needed anymore.
I will renew the hosting and domain name for one more year at the end of this upcoming November. So no matter what, the site will be online through November 2019. (Domain name expires Dec ’19) What happens after that? I don’t know. I’d hate to see the site disappear entirely, so I’d be more than willing to let someone else take over if there is anyone interested.
Let me know if anyone has any thoughts or wants the keys to the kitchen.
