This is definitely something I wanted to share because it combines a few things to say the least that we don’t see too often (or at least, things we didn’t see too often during Iron Chef‘s original run): Iron Chefs dealing with the loss of someone they know, Morimoto doing a full English interview and an Iron Chef being on CNN.
How it came about was definitely something that was all too understandable, though. When Anthony Bourdain died in 2018, Morimoto went on Quest Means Business in order to pay tribute to the No Reservations star, who had been a friend of his to the point that they’d worked together onscreen as well.
This one’s definitely a bit bittersweet because it’s all about the late, great Kobe, but I couldn’t possibly not share it. This is something the Iron Chef Episodes Twitch Channel introduced me to: Shortly after Kobe’s debut in Battle Short Pasta (522), a 26-minute documentary aired showing Kobe’s life story up to that point and how he was balancing his debut as Iron Chef Italian with his day-to-day business – which would mean this is from 1997 in all likelihood. Really hope you enjoy this one.
Hey all! I’m so excited to share with you all that one of my personal passion projects for the site is now something I’m working on (a little each week) for the next few months – a data source for statistics on Iron Chef Japan. With any luck, we’ll be able to use the completed data to drive interactive trivia on our website! We’ll see how far we get at the end of the year, but this is easily going to be one or two years in the making (because we’ve got to catch each ep on streaming or rerun to capture the data) and will take quite a bit of time to complete. I’m a bit of a nerd for data and databases, so am excited to show a sneak peek of my Iron Chef Japan-related development system so far:
