At the beginning of the year, this Iron Chef Fans website was in a different place and so were we as fans. It is no exaggeration to say that weeks after my last post on this site, the entire world went through a massive shift and everyone across the globe finds themselves impacted in one way or another. I hope that this message finds you all healthy and safe during this time.
Everyone is dealing with the impact of the pandemic to their jobs, their way of life, and television personalities are no different! Where some have chosen simple seclusion, others have focused on their social media, working their way through a backlog of fan emails to connect with their audience and keep them engaged.
I’m going to compile a list of your questions and send them to people associated with the Iron Chef shows – could be a guest chef, one of the Iron Chefs, commentators, guests, judges… Post your questions and who they are addressed to as a comment on this post and we will put your requests together and send an email! We’ll try to find contact information for your addressee – if you can help us find that and post it in the comment, it would be greatly appreciated! Any replies from these impromptu interviews will be posted here under a new “Interviews” section for your enjoyment!
Let’s see what you’re curious about! Who would you like to hear from and what would you like to know?
Stay safe and healthy!

Thank you so much for your patience, site visitors! Our site had been experiencing technical issues for several days due to the servers that route viewers to our website were not functioning as we intended. We’ve worked with our provider to correct the issue and, again, appreciate your patience in sticking with us. Please continue to let us know if you have issues by contacting our account at ironcheffansinfo@gmail.com!
Iron Chef Fans:
Welcome to 2020: a brand new decade awaits! One of the greatest things about having the decade in front of us is the opportunity to imagine the possibilities, discover the potential, and come together to make something incredible, bold, and new. I’m excited to confirm our new web address: http://ironcheffans.com. Please remember to change your favorites and bookmarks settings! For your convenience, we’re working to forward the previous site here so that those who visit years down the road will be sent to this address automatically – expect this upgrade within the next week.
We are still working to get the video links restored: we’ll be making a decision on hosting soon and let you know as soon as it’s uploading. Sadly, it’s much slower to upload things than delete, so it will take some time, even once the payment is in.
Lastly, we will have some interactive posts coming up soon – I’ll be putting some questions up and asking you to share your thoughts with me through the posts’ comments section! I look forward to reaching out to you over the next several months and learning more about your favorite and most memorable Iron Chef episodes, trivia, and experiences!
Happy New Year 2020, everyone!
About a month ago, @tuthead and I were sent a strongly-worded letter by our site service provider, letting us know that they were getting ready to take action against our sites’ archived content (reasons unspecified, though they were content to be vague). I’ve been working hard over the last month to come up with a good alternative space to keep the materials we do have so that our members will continue to have the same great experience they have had over the past decade. Our articles and posts will remain intact – that’s not a problem. PLEASE NOTE: Some of our other media may temporarily be offline for a short time while we figure out where, how much, and when.
One of the major challenges of sorting through the options is justifying how people will use our materials: we have already been offered some business-level options for $995 a year but there are also lower cost options that probably don’t come with features “called as necessities” by these… whatever the technical website equivalent of new car salesmen are. I believe communities work together better when all the information is shared! Sadly, our service provider did not feel the same way, opting to try to make us handle these serious content changes with short notice.
I’d like your help: We don’t need to overspend for what we have, and the cost of what we’re now being forced to pick up is dependent on how YOU, the users, want to use this site: your site. I’m going to leave a poll up asking for your help to tell us what you think is most important on this site and I look forward to your response. Allez-cuisine!
Loading ...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!
