For the first time in my life I have a favorite TV show. One that I quit other obligations in order to ensure an open time slot at 10 each night. This is the perfect show for an artsy, competative compulsive eater. And I think I am in love with the crazy host guy who has a scary, violent love of yellow bell peppers. Which coincidentally was the theme for last night.
They have an Iron Chef America, now, but that's just not as fun, and I'll tell you why. The dubbed voices are the funniest part of the show. These people don't just translate into English the Japanese script, oh no. They care a lot about making it sound like the actual speakers, so that it's this white guy saying, "Mmm, yes. Well, um I think that the scallops have really, well, they've lost a bit of the exciting texture that, um, well, yes, they seem to be a bit overcooked, yes. Mmm... and that...well, that is a pity, yes."
