Yeah. I think there's Iron Chef Chinese, Iron Chef Japanese, and Iron Chef Italian. I don't know the others' names; somehow, the challenger always chooses Sakai when I watch. It's a hysterical show. They tried to make an English version, and it just didn't work.
It wasn't that... the chefs really don't act, they just cook. It just didn't work. I can't describe why... part of the fun of the show was the dubbing and the peek into Japanese pop culture.

So one of the Iron Chef's specialized in French cuisine and the other in other kinds of food ?
