Hubby and I have been watching Iron Chef for about two years now and we both love it! We love the original (dubbed) Japanese version and the newest Iron Chef America (sadly, we haven't seen a Shatner show but that would be great fun!).
Since no one else has brought it up, I feel the need to. Are we the only ones who have noticed that the Iron Chefs win about 90% of the time? We both thought it was quite obvious on the original shows and it seems to be repeating on the new ones. Bobby Flay is an excellent chef but Rick Bayless is by far and away superior when it comes to Latin (Mexican) cooking. Since they both made the same cuisine and had the same surprise ingredient, buffalo, the better chef should have won. Bayless obviously is our pick for the better chef and yet he lost.
Neither of us know the chef that went against Batali tonight but we thought they were pretty evenly matched with their dishes, and yet Batali blew the other chef out of the water with the taste score.
Has any one else noticed this uneveness? Do you think it's bias on the judges part towards the Iron Chef? Just curious.
