Hello, Iron Chef Fans!
When I saw that @tuthead had asked for assistance to keep this website going, I was concerned! Like you, I’ve turned to this site and its many resources and experts for years to learn more about my favorite cooking series: Iron Chef Japan. I wanted to do something to help – I didn’t just want something that had been helpful for myself and many others to go to the Web’s archives without a fight. Earlier this year, I spoke with my family about what we could do to help, maybe even using our time and our resources, and we came to a decision… I reached out and let @tuthead know that I’d take on the challenge and serve as the new webmaster for this site.
Although we’ve figured that out, we have some technical hurdles coming up soon: making sure the website stays up is my FIRST priority and we’ll be working through the end of the year to make sure we are stable and ready to grow! For the next several months, the website should remain as it is now while we catalog and secure what we have. By the end of the year, I hope to share with you more information about how we will be updating the site to serve Iron Chef fans worldwide! Please feel free to reach out to me via the site if you have any concerns that I may be able to help with. I will work on those requests as I have the opportunity!
Lastly, I heard earlier this year, as I’m sure many of you have as well, of the passing of Iron Chef Kobe due to a tragic accident related to his work. We, his fans, continue to send our condolences and best wishes to his family and the extended Iron Chef communities across the world. His appearances on Iron Chef Japan were both passionate and focused and illustrated the tremendous talent he had for his cuisine, his craft, his art.
Thank you all, and I look forward to sharing more with you soon!
