You lost. Get over it.

I'm watching "Iron Chef" right now, and a Canadien chef is well on the way to getting his ass handed to him by Morimoto. Why do people from North America come on the show and expect to do well? The Japanese palate is, in a word, different, and in another word, weird. These people make sauces from sea urchin liver (sea urchin has a bloody liver? who knew?). They make soups from innards of seafood. They judge you based on *their* palate. If you come on with the theme ingredient being potato, they don't want potatoes as a garnish. And when you lose to MORIMOTO, you know you suck ass (to the Easterners, anyway).

Not going to happen, dude.

Holy shit, he actually won the ruling from one judge. Least he can brag to his friends about that.

Heh. One of my good friends is a huge Morimoto Fanboy. His name is Rosler, and he's a scary, cool, arrogant, great guy.

Thing is, Morimoto is like the 6th man on the Iron Chef squad. Neither the judges nor the announcers make any bones about it. upposedly his cooking is always "big hit or big miss", and when it's "miss" they don't hold back at all. That he has fanboys doesn't surprise me; people like underdogs that cook digusting stuff with style.
