I know what you’re thinking, but don’t worry. Frog was never used as a theme ingredient in Kitchen Stadium. Kermit is safe. I just wanted to use his song title. Vegetables were used many times during the 300 episode run of the show. There is no way we could list them all, but we can narrow it down a little bit. This week’s Episodes of the Week theme is vegetables that are green.
The Olympic Motto is Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger). The Summer Olympics start this weekend in Beijing, China. While some of the world’s greatest athletes will be gathering in the Beijing Olympic Stadium for the opening ceremonies, we will welcome some of the world’s greatest chefs into Kitchen Stadium. The theme this week is China. Of course, all of the battles this week feature a Chinese ingredient, a Chinese challenger, and/or Iron Chef Chinese Chen Kenichi.
We also would like to add two Iron Chef Chen videos to Beyond Kitchen Stadium.
Both of the BKS videos are in Japanese with no subtitles.

This is the first edition of our Iron Chef Collection Exclusives Episodes of the Month. Of course, this is where we present to you Iron Chef episodes that did not air on Food Network. Today, we present our Episodes of the Month for July. (Yeah. I know it’s already August. Sue me. 🙂 ) Thank you to everyone who voted in our poll this month. A new poll will go up near the middle of the month. And without further ado, we present the winners.
I’m writing this post to personally thank everyone, from Tuthead to Chromaone, Hendrix(me!!), Doomturtle and even Nylon, everyone who donated their episodes to us (If I missed your name, send an email and I’ll add you) and our episode reviewer Rodney Schroeter. I would also like to thank you guys, our audience, for the feedback we’ve received, good or bad, in the comments section or on the Kitchen Stadium Board, we appreciate it.
Now the good news, we have assembled all the episodes that aired on FoodNetwork, all 185 of them. But we are far from over since there are 300+ episodes of Iron Chefs. So stick with us as we try to gather them all.
About 10 days ago, we announced the acquisition of a new group of Japanese language episodes. Since all of the episodes were from 1997, a void in the collection of many non-Japanese Iron Chef fans, it was easy to see the changes made to the Episode List. This weekend, we added two more episodes, but since they were from the middle of 1999, you might not have noticed. Both of these are actually more specials than regular episodes, but neither one ever aired on Food Network.
