ICC Exclusives – Salmon Roe and Winter Melon

Happy Birthday Iron Chef Collection
Two years ago, a fan’s fantasy became reality, in a form never seen before: the Iron Chef Collection, a giant video repository. The motivation for spending his fortune to create the Iron Chef Collection was to encounter new, original, rarely seen episodes, which could be called true artistic creations. To realize his dream, he secretly started [...]

More Episodes on the Way
Hi, everybody. I know it has been over a month since the last update, and I’m sorry about that. The good news is that you will be rewarded for your patience. I recently received 5 more pre-FN subtitled episodes that I will add over the next couple of weeks. Ryori no Tetsujin kono ato. All from 1996 [...]

ICC Exclusive – Bacon Battle – Sakai vs. Batton

Sorry about the lack of updates lately. I have been out of town for work (and will likely be out another few weeks.) I have several episodes to be added, both from Japan and also some subtitled eps from our anonymous donor. I promise May will be full of Iron Chef goodness for you. Until [...]

Sorry, Everybody
In case you missed this comment, I thought I’d make a new post out of it: tetsujin070561 Says:July 20th, 2010 at 7:41 pm As the “anonymous” contributor of the recent run of “new” IC battles, I must say that I am extremely disappointed with King Tuthead. He does not keep me or the users of this site [...]
