Reminder most episodes got released on peacock last year or the year before so all of the translated episodes are available in 1080p streaming quality, much higher image quality than any of the older VHS rips or early TV tuner card recorded copies.

Though there are still like a few dozen episodes that never aired outside of Japan and never got translated and remain Japanese only unless you can find a fan sub version floating around somewhere.

>>19735156
we will never have a cooking show this kino again

>>19735156
Mmmm yes I love some goy television! Those quirky Japanese are such good cooks. Raw fish on bland rice, I love it!!

>>19735397
you will never be japanese chang XD

Bite The Capsicum!

Most the food is so outdated and belong in a 70s coctail party, but fuck if I didn't give my left kidney to be able to eat it.

Why is the guy in black so attractive?

liked the garlic episode where the judges were getting progressively numb

>JACKUSON!

>>19735747

>>19735372

>>19735156
Been a Morimoto fanatic since day 1.

>>19736128

Not sure about public trackers, but they're on private trackers

5 tickets to Barbie, please

>>19736770
I don't have the autism or the upload to bother with private trackers but I probably should

>>19735156
It's "à la cuisine" you absolute faggot.

>>19736799
Yeah and they're quite bloated because peacock didn't really optimize their encoding for such low-resolution content. So even though it's "1080p", it's still a show from the '90s and it looks it.

If someone wanted to put in the effort they could easily knock these seasons down to ~10Gb each or less and retain the image quality.

>that australian lady that sliced her hand open, wrapped it up, and kept cooking

we don't respect things like this on reality tv anymore

>>19736877
to be fair, this show was SUPER hammed up too, you don't think those chef feuds were real...right?

>>19736877
do you know what the ingredient for that episode was? I've been trying to find it since watching the show as a kid in the early 2000s, I've always wanted to see the episode with the aussie challenger

>>19736877
This happens all the time in competitive cooking shows. Most non-baking shows like this are going to have at least one shot of that because when it happens it's good TV, packaged with post-commentary of the goober talking about how they didn't like cutting their finger.
I'll say that we will never have the perfect mix of competition and dignity of Iron Chef Japan anymore. I don't remember that episode but I'm sure it wasn't played up for le drama like in modern shows. If that's the sort of thing that you're referring to then I 100% agree.
Shows with that level of competition have don't show as much dignity and respect to the food and people, and shows with that much dignity are comfy but never hit that level of competitive intensity. Closest show that comes to this is the professional pastry spin-off to great british bake-off, and even that tries to have wacky randumb hosts.

Did you guys know they have 45-60 minutes to strategize/plan their dishes after the secret ingredient is revealed but before they start cooking?

Bunch of crooks act like they do it all in the fly.

>>19739449
i mean, it makes sense they have time to plan.

>>19739449
I'm surprized they don't have 45-60 days.

>>19739860
The modern versions in the US/Canada/etc might

>>19735384
Who's the purple one?

>>19739897
Koumei Nakamura, he was iron chef japan before Morimoto came on but after Michiba retired.

More than that, of the ~300 episodes (including specials and shit) only 180 are available on the peacock streams that have english dub. There are another ~80 that you can find out there with subtitles but no dubbing. Some are overlaps with dubbed episodes though. But at BEST mixing the two sources I think there are ~210-220 english episodes (either subs or dubs) and another ~80 or so that never got translated (at least not that I can find).

>>19736770
leak this onto open trackers.

>>19740300
If you have an interest, get it yourself and upload it.

>>19736808
which means it's ripe for modern upscaling algorithms

>>19739925
Thanks anon

>>19735156
