One of the great things about having cable, is the Food Network.
Tonight's TV viewing has been Iron Chef America vs. Iron Chef Japan.
The battles have been:
Bobby Flay vs. Hiroyuki Sakai - Battle of Live Trout (Flay won)
Mario Batali vs. Masaharu Morimoto - Battle of Live Spiney Lobster (Batali won)
And THEN
Bobby Flay & Masaharu Morimoto vs Mario Batali & Masaharu Morimoto - Battle of the Scallop, Sea Urchin, and Langoustine.
Can you imagine being a judge on an episode like this?? I think I'd faint, and then come to, and then faint again. And faint after every dish.
Things to write home about:
Eating soup out of a sea urchin.
Cracking eggs by cutting the top off with a knife.
Fresh REAL wasabi.

Iron Chef America is definitely one of the things I miss most about not having cable. I've never watched the real Iron Chef though. What a great show.
I personally think the original one was the best...
Seriously, you should have seen this guy, Sakai, he's like a knife master... he takes the tip of this giant knife and carefully just edges around the top of the egg and off comes the top - I have to try that!!
