The Japanese Iron Chef is the best food-related hour on television. The dubbing is cheesy and Chairman Kaga is about as campy as one can possibly get (he made his fortune in musical theatre), but the participants take the competition seriously, and the food is so innovative.
Iron Chef America just isn't as much fun. It's not a bad show, but it doesn't inspire the kind of dedication among viewers that the original did. But the Chairman didn't do badly on Atlantis.
