The series, which premiered on October 10, 1993, is a stylized featuring guest chefs challenging one of the show's resident 'Iron Chefs' in a timed cooking battle built around a specific theme ingredient.

The series ended on September 24, 1999, although occasional specials were produced until 2002. The series aired 309 episodes. Repeats are regularly aired on the in Canada, the in the United States and on in Australia. Fuji TV aired a new version of the show, titled Iron Chef ( アイアンシェフ, Aian Shefu), starting on October 26, 2012.

Contents.Features The host of the show is the flamboyant, known on the show as Chairman Kaga ( 鹿賀主宰, Kaga Shusai). He begins most episodes with his signature words, taken from, 'If memory serves me right.「私の記憶が確かならば」'(Jadis) si je me souviens bien.' And summons the Iron Chefs to cook with a phrase 'Allez! A la cuisine!' The show has two regular commentators, who narrates the action on the floor, and Dr., a food scholar and founder of the. A floor reporter, reports to Fukui on what the challengers and Iron Chefs are preparing, their strategy, and their comments, breaking Fukui's train of commentary with a polite 'Fukui-?'

One or two guest commentators (who also serve as judges) also make frequent appearances. The commentary covers ingredients, history of contenders, and other background information to give viewers context for what is happening in the kitchen.Story The supposed 'story' behind Iron Chef is recounted at the beginning of every episode. A title card, with a quote from famed French food author first appears: 'Tell me what you eat, and I'll tell you what you are.' Then, it is said that Kaga 'realized his dream in a form never seen before' and specially constructed a cooking arena called 'Kitchen Stadium' in his castle. There, visiting chefs from 'around the world' would compete against his Gourmet Academy, led by his three (later four) Iron Chefs. Chairman Kaga himself is a showpiece, dressed in outlandish examples of men's formal attire. The English name Iron Chef comes from the show itself: Kaga would use this translation of the Japanese title when summoning his chefs at the beginning of the battle.

Iron Chefs From the beginning of the show in 1993, there were three Iron Chefs: Iron Chef Japanese, Iron Chef Chinese, and Iron Chef French. After the first season, Ishinabe decided to step down and become an 'honorary Iron Chef', thus passing the mantle of Iron Chef French to in 1994. Ishinabe would return for two more battles during Season 3. At the beginning of Season 4 in 1996, Michiba announced his retirement and debuted as the new Iron Chef Japanese. Michiba would return on rare occasions for special Kitchen Stadium battles.

Then, the two remaining chefs head to Kitchen Stadium for their last Secret Ingredient Showdown, and judges Iron Chef Cat Cora and Rocco DiSpirito decide who has the chops to enter the Gauntlet.

In 1997, Chairman Kaga announced a new, additional Iron Chef to the group: Iron Chef Italian. He was the youngest of the Iron Chefs and would battle sparingly throughout the rest of the show, ascending to the stage separately from the three main Iron Chefs, and surrounded by a chamber string ensemble. In 1998, Nakamura also decided to retire and passed the title of Iron Chef Japanese to.Iron Chef statistics Iron ChefTitleWinsLossesDrawsNo ContestsTotalWin%( 陳 建一, Chin Ken'ichi)Iron Chef.6%( 石鍋 裕, Ishinabe Yutaka)Iron Chef (I)7100887.5%( 坂井 宏行, Sakai Hiroyuki)Iron Chef French (II).4%( 神戸 勝彦, Kobe Masahiko)Iron Chef167102468.8%( 道場 六三郎, Michiba Rokusaburō)Iron Chef (I)335103985.9%( 中村 孝明, Nakamura Kōmei)Iron Chef Japanese (II).2%( 森本 正治, Morimoto Masaharu)Iron Chef Japanese (III)178102667.3%.

Original format Originally, challengers vied with each other in preliminary 'battles' to earn the right to face an Iron Chef in a 90-minute competition, and should a challenger win twice against Iron Chefs, the challenger would be given the title of 'Honorary Iron Chef'. However, this format proved unpopular, the preliminary round was scrapped and the main contest was reduced to the now familiar 60 minutes. The awarding of honorary Iron Chef titles to challengers was also discontinued (although this was largely a moot point as few challengers ever defeated two Iron Chefs in separate contests), but was given as an emeritus title for a retiring Iron Chef. Once honorary titles were no longer issued, challengers who beat an Iron Chef had to settle for, according to the English version's introduction, 'the people's ovation and fame forever'.In each episode, chefs have one hour to cook and improvise a multi-course meal around a theme ingredient that must be present in each dish.

Before the actual taping, the chefs are given a short list of possible themes, allowing the producers of the show to get any ingredients that may be needed. Judges' primary goal was said to be determining which chef was able to 'best express the unique qualities of the theme ingredient'. In rare cases, the format changed— battles were typically 75 minutes in length, and battles had the Iron Chef stop after 50 minutes of cooking, only to resume after the challenger's dishes were tasted so that the noodles could be served right after cooking.Theme ingredients Featured ingredients tend toward the exotic and expensive. Many theme ingredients reflect the Japanese origin of the show—river, —though ingredients more familiar in the West, such as, summer, and, are spotlighted as well.

In one episode devoted to, the challenger boasted that he used over $1,000 worth of (which he then discarded) simply to flavor his asparagus in this battle against Iron Chef.Initially, a minimum of three dishes were to be prepared, although some challengers have finished only a single dish; four is the typical number. The record for highest number of dishes prepared for a battle was eight, first set by challenger Kenji Kaji against in 'Battle '. Five (later six) servings of each dish are prepared: one each for the Chairman and judges, and one for photography and presentation.Assistant chefs Each chef is also given two assistants, who are supposedly students of Kaga's 'Gourmet Academy' (in reality, they are students of ). If the challenger does not speak Japanese, students who can speak in the challenger's native language are sometimes provided. In a notable exception, San Francisco chef struggled with his assistants, who did not speak English.

One assistant, Kenichi Miyanaga, became a challenger himself, taking on Iron Chef Morimoto in a battle.Commentary and judging Throughout the cook-off, running commentary is made in a booth near the cooking area by an announcer,; a commentator, and one or two of the guest judges, with one floor reporter (sometimes two; normally ) providing details of the action on each side. The commentators and judges discuss the style of cooking, culinary traditions and unusual food preparation.

At the end of the hour, after end-of-battle interviews with both competitors, each dish is presented to the camera, with a description of its properties (written by the show's screenwriters based on the chef's explanation) read by the announcer. Then, a panel of three (later expanded to four and, later still, five) judges, of which typically one is a professional critic, tastes the dishes and judges them based on taste, presentation, and originality. Each chef may be awarded up to 20 points by each judge, with ten given for taste and five each for presentation and originality. The chef with the greatest score wins the competition. (In earlier four-judge episodes, the win went to the chef who won three of the four judges, or, failing that, the chef that makes the highest points total.)Chairman Kaga tastes the dishes along with the judges. While he occasionally makes comments and seeks input from judges during tasting, he generally does not participate in scoring; he did, however, during the 2000th Dish Battle.

During this episode, a team of French cuisine chefs—captain, the original Iron Chef French, and former challenger and Etsuo Joh—battled a team of Chinese cuisine chefs composed of captain, former challenger Sozo Myamoto, and former challenger (who would later be Iron Chef Chinese on the 2012 revival). To break the tie, Chairman Kaga asked them to allow him this one instance of selfishness, and he cast his vote for the French team.Ties In the case of a deadlock (as was possible during the era of the four-judge panel), first place is awarded to the chef with the greater number of points. On the rare occasions that the scores were also tied, an immediate 'overtime battle' was held to determine the winner.

In overtime the chefs are given 30 minutes to prepare dishes with a different key ingredient, having to make do with what remains of their pantry or with items that were previously prepared for the main battle. The overtime battles are aired as a separate episode. On one occasion, the overtime battle itself resulted in a tie, prompting Chairman Kaga to declare both the Iron Chef and challenger winners. Broadcast history The stage setting for the show, 'Kitchen Stadium' ( キッチンスタジアム, Kitchin Sutajiamu), the high-quality (and sometimes very expensive) ingredients used in the cooking battles, and Kaga's extravagant required the show to have a budget far higher than that of most other cooking shows. Some statistics: 893 portions of, 54, 827 Ise, 964, 4,593, 1,489, 4,651 grams of, and 84 pieces of shark fin were used during the show, bringing the total grocery bill to 843,354,407 (or about 7,115,520).
