OMFG Iron Chef USA!!!

[Les Waste]

Usually I watch Iron Chef every week, but tonight was the one night I didn't. I only saw the second half. They played an Americanized version of the show! It was completely different, with different chefs and people and there was only one japanese person. They even had a chairman like they did on the Japanese version. And, omfg, do you know who played the part of Chairman Kaga?

WILLIAM SHATNER.

It was the best fucking thing ever. There's an Iron Chef American (lol), Bruce Vilanche was one of the judges (lol), and one of the chefs has a Japanese name (lol).

The copyright information at the end of the credits though said 2001, and Food Network advertised the show as "playing every week in summer," so it's my guess that only 6 episodes were made during the peak of Iron Chef's popularity in the US (2001), but they tested badly or some network executive came to his fucking senses and realized that the show is awful.

It's on next week too! Saturday, at 10pm eastern! Shatner dressed like a gay bull fighter!
