I Summoned Thee Iron Chef! Iron Chef is a cooking battle show created by FUJI-TV in Japan. The show is also called Ryori-no-tetsujin in Japanese. The Iron Chefs have extraordinary cooking skills and are chosen for the status by the producer of the show. In each episode, a challenger and one of the Iron Chefs cook a course meal within an hour. They must include the ingredient of the day, which are announced each time, in all dishes.
Iron Chef was premiered on the 10th of October 1993 and lasted 24th of September 1999. But the show had television specials until 2002. The series aired over 300 episodes and was hosted by the flamboyant Takeshi kaga, also know as Chairman Kaga.
The supposed story behind Iron Chef is played at the beginning of every episode. It is said that an eccentric authority (Chairman Kaga) had "realised his dream in a form never seen before" and specially constructed a cooking arena called "Kitchen Stadium" in his castle where visiting chefs from "around the world" would compete against his Academy, led by his three Iron Chefs. Chairman Kaga himself is a showpiece, dressed in outlandish examples of men's formal attire.
On each episode, a challenger, a famous Chef from Japan or elsewhere, is pitted against one of the Iron Chefs (with each Iron Chef specializing in a different kind of cuisine - Japanese, Chinese, French and Italian). The studio is equipped with all kinds of kitchen tools
and appliances, and all sorts of ingredients are prepared for the chefs. The winner is selected by four judges. Even if a challenger wins against an Iron Chef, he/she doesn't become an Iron Chef. The winning challenger just get the honor of defeating an Iron Chef and will be referred as "the people's ovation and fame forever."
List of iron Chefs appeared on the show along with thier records(win-lose-tie)
Iron Chef Chinese - Chen Kenichi (67-22-3) Iron Chef French - Yutaka Ishinabe (7-1-0) Iron Chef French - Hiroyiki Sakai (70-15-1) Iron Chef Italian - Masahiko Kobe (15-7-1) Iron Chef Japanese - Rokusaburo Michica (32-5-1) Iron Chef Japanese - Koumei Nakamura (24-11-1) Iron Chef Japanese - Masaharu Morimoto (16-7-1)
For the show's grand finale, the Iron Chefs faced off against each other with the winner to face French chef Alain Passard, with the winner dubbed the "King of Iron Chefs". In the final match in Kitchen Stadium, with all of the current and previous Iron Chefs looking on, Iron Chef French Sakai defeated Alain Passard in Battle Ronkonkai Chicken. Thus, Hiroyuki Sakai was dubbed "King of Iron Chefs."
With the creation of Iron Chef, a lot of cooking television shows have been created based on it. But still they didn't surpass what Iron Chef achieve as a cooking battle. Iron Chef the one remain supreme!

Fairly deep straw yellow in appearance.The bouquet is harmonious, releasing notes of peach and banana, appealingly complemented by rich floral nuances. The attack is immediately alluring, velvet smooth, and the wine
expands steadily on the palate, assisted by a judicious, tangy acidity. It concludes with a long-lingering finish, laden with well-defined fruit aromas.
On the palate the first impression is of a seductive suppleness; the wine then expands nicely, enlivened by a crisp, judicious acidity and concludes with a lingering finish generously marked by fruity, clean-edged aromas. Marked fragrances of ripe fruit, such as banana and peach, which harmonize appealingly with complex floral notes. A fairly deep straw-yellow in appearance.

The aim at Terres Dor้es is to let the varied terroirs express themselves fully. In the early 1990s, Jean-Paul Brun planted 3 hectares of Chardonnay on limestone soil. He has since expanded the production of his well known and sought-after Beaujolais Blanc by contracting grapes from a small number of nearby vignerons.
The clay-limestone soil that the Chardonnay grows on is perfect for the grape. The climate, which is a little warmer than the C๔te d'Or enables Jean-Paul to produce a rich wine with lots of character. It is bottled completely unoaked. When young, the wine has a very fruity bouquet that becomes more honeyed as the wine matures.]]>

Antique Vines Zinfandel is a blend of two "Antique Vine" vineyards?one on Atlas
Peak in Napa Valley, the other in Amador County located in the Sierra Foothills.
The term "antique" is characterized by excellence, appeal and importance.
For us the name "Antique Vines" reflects our elevated esteem and reverence for old
vineyards. The name demonstrates the endurance and quality of fruit the
vines produce.
This Zinfandel opens with aromas of mature fruit and sandalwood which lead to
ripe berry flavors sweetened with creamy vanilla nuances. This wine is big, rich,
dense, and nicely balanced.]]>
Granite terraces and gravelly alluvial plains of the northern Rh๔ne Valley. Viognier sourced from 20-year-old vines just south of Condrieu, and Roussanne from 30-year-old vines near the appellation of St. Joseph
The Viognier offers elegance and aromatic complexity, while the Roussanne brings structure to the wine structure to the wine. Exotic flavors of mangos and apricots are perfectly balanced by a nice acidity. A wine to drink just slightly chilled in order to let the aromas of peaches and honey fully develop.]]>
"Smooth and silky, this is generous with its pear, lemon curd and floral aromas and flavors, coursing gently through the long, expressive finish. Drink until 2011." -Wine Spectator]]>
The taster is immediately struck by the bright aromatics of this wine. Dominated by aromas of limes, citrus blossom and intensified with notes of gooseberry and lychee, this is a fruit driven yet complex style of Sauvignon Blanc. Lime and grapefruit flavors form the core of the palate while the wines small portion of barrel fermentation adds a textured roundness to the mid-palate, which is balanced by bright, lively acidity and lasting impression of citrus on the finish. The quintessential summer ap้ritf, this wine also pairs beautifully with oysters, fresh ch่vre and ceviche or just by itself.
