<> --Woody Allen Tamahome: "Back in ancient China, a ruler's fancy became reality in a forum never seen before. Kitchen Kolliseum, a giant cooking area. The motivation for spending his fortune to create Kitchen Kolliseum was to smooth relations between the countries of Konan and Kutou, while simultaneously satisfying Suzaku no Miko's constant snacking habits." Hotohori: Allez cuisine! Tamahome: "To realize his dream, Hotohori secretly started teaching other Suzaku Seishi various styles of cooking. And he named these Seishi the Iron Seishi... er, Iron CHEFS, the invincible men of culinary skills! Iron Chef Nuriko is Ryuen Chou. Iron Chef Mitsukake is Myojuan. Iron Chef Tasuki is Shunu Kou. And young Doukun Oh is Iron Chef Chiriko. Kitchen Kolliseum is the area where Iron Chefs await the challenges of master chefs from around the Universe of the Four Gods. Both the Iron Chef and challenger have one hour to tackle the theme ingredient of the day, using all their senses, skills, creativity, they're to prepare artistic dishes you've understandably never heard of before. And if ever a challenger wins over the Iron Chef, he or she will gain the people's ovation and an autographed picture of Hotohori! Every battle, reputations are on the line in Kitchen Kolliseum, where master chefs pit their artistic creations against each other. What inspiration does today's challenger bring? And how will the Iron Chef fight back? The heat will be on!" Hotohori: If memory serves me right, I speak in subtitles and hence have no need for quotation marks. I also believe we are about to embark upon a series of battles against the Seiryuu of Kutou, as Nakago has claimed his seishi can prepare better dishes than my Iron Chefs. The first challenger coming forward in an attempt to prove that claim is none other than... Bu Shunkaku, also known as Suboshi! Born in Kutou Country, Sanun-shou, Tenryou-shi, this man was raised by his twin brother Amiboshi. Suboshi has since become a master slicer and dicer in the kitchen, cutting up all manner of fruits and vegetables, particularly any foolish enough to come between him and the people he loves. So, Suboshi! Let's see how your culinary skills fare against those of my Iron Chefs! Suboshi: "I will be victorious today because I have a winning angle. I refer to the character on my left shoulder, of course." Emperor Hotohori enters Kitchen Kolliseum and bites into a yellow bell pepper. ---IRONY CHEF 2--- Hotohori: Today we have a very special battle. Our challenger is from the Nakago faction, a faction eager to take down my Iron Chefs. So without further ado, let's bring him on! From Kutou country, Suboshi! Tamahome: "Suboshi enters Kitchen Kolliseum, he's got a bunch of other Seiryuu with him, yadda yadda yadda, they approach Hotohori." Hotohori: So Suboshi, how do you like my Kitchen Kolliseum? Suboshi: "I want to fight against Tasuki!" Hotohori: Ahem. But I have not yet summoned my Iron Chefs... Tasuki: "I accept the challenge!" Tamahome: "And now leaping up into Kitchen Kolliseum wielding his large iron fan is Iron Chef Tasuki! We seem to be getting right into the thick of things here, folks. This one's gonna be memorable and I'm sure the censors will have a field day too." Hotohori: Ah. Well then, I suppose it just remains for me to reveal the theme ingredient. Indeed, I believe everyone will be in for a surprise with my choice today. And so we unveil the ingredient! Today's ingredient is... Missing! Tamahome: "Yet another interesting turn of events here as the theme ingredient is not on the platform - perhaps it's escaped! Let's see if our resident in house expert has any comment on that." Chichiri: "Daaaa!" Tamahome: "So, Chichiri now vanishing into his hat to scout out that situation. Meanwhile, Hotohori is about to make an announcement." Hotohori: If memory serves me right, the theme for overtime is already here. We shall use it instead, and you will STILL be surprised. And so we unveil the ingredient! Today's ingredient is... White Rose Potatoes! WHITE POTATO BATTLE Tamahome: "Things finally getting back on track here, it's Suboshi versus Tasuki in battle potato! Don't turn away now, things are liable to heat up fast!" Hotohori: Allez Cuisine! Time allotted: One hour. The chef who prepares dishes that better articulate the theme ingredient is the winner. In the event of a tie there would be a 30 minute overtime battle, if only we had an ingredient for it. Tamahome: "And there's the opening gong! The challenger and Iron Chef both race up to the platform now to grab their share of the spuds. Chichiri, any comments on today's ingredient?" Nakago: "He's still in his hat. You should introduce your guests." Tamahome: "Hey, don't tell me how to do my job." Nakago: "I'm Nakago, or Ayuru Gi. Hotohori invited me to be on the panel today in the interests of diplomacy. And yes, I do enjoy potatoes and anticipate some great dishes being created." Tamahome: "Don't DO my job for me either!" Nakago: "You're too slow." Tamahome: "I am not!! Anyway, our other guest today is... aw man, it's Taiitsu-kun?!" Taiitsu: "Respect your elders!" Tamahome: "Yeesh, what happened to the cute, vapid girl guests?" Taiitsu: "The Nyan-Nyan will be guests tomorrow." Tamahome: "I hope I'm getting extra pay for this." Miaka: "Tamahome! *.*" Tamahome: "It's our floor telecaster, Miaka Yuuki." Miaka: "Yes, Tamahome. I just asked challenger Suboshi how familiar he was with today's ingredient, to which he replied 'I hate you, get away from me' in a very testy tone." Tamahome: "All right, the challenger apparently with some personal issues to deal with during this battle as well." Nakago: "It better not affect his performance." Taiitsu: "Can we talk about the cooking already?" Tamahome: "Uh, yeah. Both competitors have spent some time peeling potatoes, and it currently looks like Suboshi has some potato parts and leeks in a frying pan. He's also beating something." Nakago: "That cameraman was in his way." Tamahome: "No, I mean beating something in that bowl there." 15 minutes have elapsed. Miaka: "Tamahome! *.*" Tamahome: "Go ahead!" Miaka: "In that bowl the challenger has a mixture of eggs, milk, cheese, dill, parsley, salt, pepper and ground nutmeg." Tamahome: "I see." Miaka: "Meanwhile the Iron Chef is beating a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, cinnamon, flour, salt and ground nutmeg, to which he has just added some previously mashed potato." Nakago: "How does she know that? She's nowhere near the Iron Chef!" Tamahome: "Miaka has a sixth sense when it comes to food." Taiitsu: "The ground nutmeg seems popular today." Tamahome: "It does. I have no idea what that means." Chichiri: "Possibly that they'll pour their mixtures into pie crusts, no da." Tamahome: "Ah, our expert's back! Find out anything about the original theme ingredient?" Chichiri: "Just that it was a seafood." Nakago: "Tama probably ate it." Tamahome: "I did not!" Nakago: "I was referring to Iron Chef Mitsukake's cat." Tamahome: "Oh, right, I knew that..." Taiitsu: "But if the ingredient was expensive, Tamahome might have sold it to pad his income." Nakago: "Yes, you're probably right." Tamahome: "Geez. Is there anyone on my side here?" Miaka: "Tamahome! *.*" Tamahome: "Miaka, you're on my side, right?" Miaka: "Always, Tamahome! *.* Now, I just asked the Iron Chef when he last cooked with potatoes, and he said it was on a trip two weeks ago, when he met up with some of his bandit friends. He followed that up with a joke I can't repeat on air." Tamahome: "Okay, the Iron Chef has some experience then, and after getting his previous mixture into the oven, he's started slicing potatoes into strips." Chichiri: "Note that he did pour that other mixture into a pie crust, no da! And I bet he's making fries now!" Taiitsu: "Makes sense, as he's started deep frying the potato slices." Nakago: "That's not very original. Suboshi is doing a much more creative deep fry job, I think he'll get more points." Miaka: "Tamahome! *.*" Tamahome: "Take it." Miaka: "Yes, challenger Suboshi is also deep frying, he has potato balls that contain a mixture of flour, cornstarch, sugar and salt!" Tamahome: "I see..." Miaka: "Suboshi also reminded me of the fact that he hates me, so I'm going to go up to his royal box to see if any of the other Seiryuu aren't as testy today." Tamahome: "We'll look forward to that report." Chichiri: "Tasuki's now putting some things in his pressure cooker, no da! But I can't see what they are." Nakago: "Looks like it contains some cauliflower and carrots along with potatoes... does he have alcohol in that as well??" Taiitsu: "No, I think the alcohol is for him." Tamahome: "Oh, right, of course. It's time for Tasuki's halfway point pint." 30 minutes have elapsed. Nakago: "Well, while Tasuki drinks, Suboshi has taken his ryuuseisui out, and he's preparing to dice a bunch of assorted vegetables in his classic style." Chichiri: "For those at home who don't know, ryuuseisui are the yo-yo like balls the challenger controls through telekinesis!" Ryuuseisui -- Yo-yo like balls that spin and cut. Nakago: "That's hardly an exact definition." Taiitsu: "Looks like he's really experienced at slicing with those things though." Tamahome: "Certainly is, the challenger's assistants are drawing back out of the way as he goes to work... Tasuki's assistants are also backing off, I wonder why..." Chichiri: "Everybody down, no da!" Tasuki: "LEKKA SHIEN!" Tamahome: "Agggh!" Chichiri: "For those at home who don't know, the tessen is the iron fan the Iron Chef controls through hand movement!" Tamahome: "Grrrrr.... how is it that only I managed to get hit by those flames?!?" Tessen -- Iron Fan that fires flames Nakago: "Whatever the Iron Chef just charred down there, he's tossing it into the pressure cooker with the rest of his items." Tamahome: "I bet he did that to me on purpose!" Miaka: "Gee, I got out just in time..." Tamahome: "I'll get him for that later! Er, oh, Miaka, you were saying something?" Miaka: "Well, I'm now up here with the challenger's brother, Amiboshi. So Amiboshi, there are some who say Suboshi's skills are not as polished as yours. How do you reply to that?" Amiboshi: "Oh, I'm not sure... actually, I don't remember anyone ever saying that. But then I do have these bouts of amnesia." Miaka: "Okay, well, can you at least comment on your brother's cooking abilities?" Amiboshi: "Sure. He's at his best when cooking using Nakago's kodoku. But since that's a drug that overpowers minds, we can't use it here in the Kolliseum." Miaka: "I see. Er, I notice you've also started writing something on your arm, what's that about?" Amiboshi: "Suboshi forgot to add diced apples to his mixture, so I'm just reminding him." Miaka: "Okay then, back to you Tamahome! *.*" Tamahome: "And it looks like Tasuki has a new mixture in a bowl there along with a sauce on his stove. Meanwhile, Suboshi has combined his vegetables with material from hollowed out potatoes, to which he's now adding diced apples." 20 minutes to go. Taiitsu: "You know, both competitors are employing a more reserved style today." Chichiri: "Well, they're making good dishes, no da. For instance, I believe the item still in the challenger's oven is a sweet potato pie, while Tasuki has a potato quiche in his oven!" Nakago: "You've reversed it. The quiche is Suboshi's." Chichiri: "I knew that, no da." Miaka: "Tamahome! *.*" Tamahome: "Take it." Miaka: "As a follow-up to that comment, Iron Chef Tasuki just said real men don't eat quiche, let alone serve it as a dish." Suboshi: "Hey, I heard that! Listen jerk, there's nothing wrong with quiche!" Tasuki: "Ha! Go bake off, quiche boy!" Taiitsu: "Yes, somehow I was expecting more of this sort of thing." Tamahome: "Whoa! Come on now, settle down everyone! Less than 20 minutes to go, so put all your energy into those culinary dishes!!" Nakago: "Spoilsport." Chichiri: "Tamahome's worried because the cost of any repairs to the Kolliseum cuts back on his salary." Nakago: "Really? Hmmm... oh, oops! Sorry Tamahome, didn't mean to break that leg off your chair." Tamahome: "Why you... oh, hold on, I've just been handed a note here. It has to do with the missing ingredient." Taiitsu: "I've been wondering about that." Tamahome: "It seems today's ingredient was supposed to be clams. However, Seiryuu Seishi Tomo snuck in prior to the battle to scout out the situation, and in so doing, he accidentally dropped his clam shell, shin, into the ingredient box." Nakago: "That idiot." Tamahome: "He then couldn't figure out which clam was his, so Tomo ran off with all of them. Gee, sounds like your Seiryuu got a little shell shocked, Nakago!" Nakago: "So what? Don't raise a clamour!" Taiitsu: "Both of you, clam up." Chichiri: "Ow, that dialogue hurts, no da. x.x" Miaka: "Tamahome! *.*" Tamahome: "Save us all, Miaka." Miaka: "The challenger has two more mixtures he's working on now, one he just finished beating that contains potato, milk and biscuit mix, and another here containing potato, both red and green onions, and hard boiled eggs!" Chichiri: "I bet that second is a potato salad, no da!" 10 minutes to go. Tamahome: "All right, so in the last ten minutes we see a time- honoured potato salad coming together. It figures that someone would go that route." Nakago: "The Iron Chef has his pressure cooker open." Tamahome: "Yes, that's right... and apparently he's dumping out the solid items inside and just using the broth! That's a surprise move... and, er, looks like Miaka's back there now, offering to eat up those leftover items for him." Chichiri: "Yes, there she goes... hopefully we won't have overtime, Tasuki could have used those things then." Taiitsu: "We can't have overtime, we're using the overtime ingredient." Tamahome: "A good point. Now again, back to the challenger's side, his quiche and stuffed potato items are out of the oven, while his biscuit mix combination has gone in." Nakago: "Suboshi makes a good quiche, I bet that's his main dish." Tasuki: "Ha, quiche boy!" Suboshi: "You shut up!" Taiitsu: "I wonder what the Iron Chef's main dish is supposed to be. Surely not the pie, that's dessert." Chichiri: "Remember, Tasuki did have a mixture earlier. He's since put servings of it inside dough and started boiling them, no da." Miaka: "Tamahome! *.*" Tamahome: "Go for it, Miaka." Miaka: "Yes, the boiling items Chichiri is referring to are in fact perogies!" Chichiri: "I knew that, no da." Miaka: "Inside the dough of the perogies is a mixture of potato, cheese, salt, and white pepper, and wow, they really taste delicious! Oops, got carried away..." Tasuki: "Miaka, you're not supposed to eat those!!" Miaka: "Uhhhh, I'm going back to the challenger's side now..." Chichiri: "Amazingly enough, I think there's still enough left to serve to the panel. As an appetizer anyway." Five minutes to go. Tamahome: "So, time winding down, all the various dishes coming together, we now see Suboshi completing the deep fried item by adding carrot and celery sticks." Nakago: "The Iron Chef's also adding celery sticks to his broth item." Taiitsu: "I don't like celery." Tamahome: "Well then, too bad for you Taiitsu-kun!" Chichiri: "Wait a minute, no da! Tasuki's just grabbed a can of condensed beef broth! He's also stirred together some water and flour in a saucepan!!" Tamahome: "What, really?? Oh no! Er, what's that mean?" Chichiri: "He's making gravy, no da." Nakago: "The Iron Chef is going to pour gravy over his perogies?!" Taiitsu: "Well, don't forget he still has those plates of fries." Nakago: "Oh no. You CAN'T mean..." Chichiri: "No sign of curds but his assistants are grating cheese." Tamahome: "Hmmm. Anyone here for poutine?" Nakago: "I'll pass!" Tamahome: "Hah, you can't, you're on the panel! Gee, things are looking up..." Three minutes to go. Miaka: "Tamahome! *.*" Tamahome: "Yes, Miaka, go ahead." Miaka: "As you can see on a replay here, the potato biscuits currently inside Suboshi's oven are cut into little shapes! I recognize them as being Chindogus." Taiitsu: "Shinzahos!" Miaka: "Sure, them too." Nakago: "How very festive." Chichiri: "Speaking of the challenger though, I'm not sure if he's going to pull that potato salad together in time." Tamahome: "Well... it looks done to me." Chichiri: "Aw, I was heightening dramatic tension, no da!" Nakago: "If anything it's the Iron Chef who's having to rush. He's finishing up that, euh, poutine, setting out perogies, scribbling on pieces of paper..." Chichiri: "Oh, I recognize those papers, you can temporarily summon things such as wolves using them." Tasuki: "Appear... flowers!!" Taiitsu: "Hm, that's different. I don't think anyone expected that." Tamahome: "Euh, well, the flowers he summoned do compliment the perogies, and there are points for presentation." One minute to go. Chichiri: "Suboshi's completed the arrangement of his stuffed potatoes, and he's heading to take care of his biscuits. Iron Chef Tasuki is doublechecking the taste of his sweet potato pie." Nakago: "You know what? There hasn't been any lemon flavouring in this battle. I'm disappointed." Tamahome: "Yeah, well, that sort of thing is alluded to enough on our regular show." Miaka: "Ta-ma-ho-me! *.*" Tamahome: "What is it, Miaka?" Miaka: "Nothing actually, I just enjoy saying your name! *.*" Taiitsu: "I'm glad this battle's almost over." Thirty seconds to go. Tamahome: "Yes, the final seconds ticking down, both chefs with everything well in hand as Tasuki goes to grab another pint to drink at the battle's end." Chichiri: "Tasuki..." Tasuki: "Agggh!" Chichiri: "Watch out, no da." Nakago: "He slipped in that spilled water on the floor." Ten seconds to go. Tamahome: "So with Tasuki uttering many curses about water and Suboshi arranging his biscuits on the plate, I can finally get away from Nakago and the ugly old woman..." Taiitsu: "PARDON?!" Five seconds... three... two... one... Tamahome: "Because that's it, the cooking's done, our white potato battle is ovah!" Miaka: "So Suboshi, how did you enjoy cooking in Kitchen Kolliseum?" Suboshi: "I still hate you, and I'm not talking to you." Miaka: "Ummm... well, can you at least tell our viewers how your dishes turned out?" Suboshi: "The dishes? Pretty good. They're certainly better than those of my opponent, so I'll win for sure!" Miaka: "Tasuki, if you'll just calm down, I want to ask you about that last hour." Tasuki: "Who spilled the @#(%*& water anyway? Eh, well, an hour is never enough time, but potatoes are a good ingredient. I'm sure everyone will be thrilled by what I cooked up!" Miaka: "So that means....?" Tasuki: "I'll kick Suboshi's ass!" Tamahome: "Challenger Suboshi has produced a set of five dishes. First, some Perfected Potato Balls. This deep fried item is served with vegetables. It will be followed by his Potluck Potato Salad, a classic dish he made more random by the haphazard inclusion of various herbs and seasonings. Third is a Very Veggie Spud. Suboshi diced up assorted vegetables, mixed them with apple and potato, and then heaped it all back into hollowed out potato shells, making for a most unique presentation. After that comes his key Potato Quiche, rumoured to be a family favourite, with some parsley flakes adding a nice final touch. And the challenger's last dish is a set of Pretty Potato Biscuits, golden brown items that were cut into the shapes of Shinzahos." Tamahome: "Iron Chef Tasuki retaliates using a set of four. First is his Properly Pleasing & Potent Potato Perogies, a real mouthful, recommended by Suzaku no Miko. They come with a particularly piquant parmesan sauce. Next, Potato Broth, which contains the flavouring of assorted vegetables along with that of an unidentifiable charred item. It's accented with celery. Third, Poutine a la Tasuki. He took fries, sprinkled on both mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, then added gravy in order to complete this highly unorthodox dish. And finally comes Tasuki's Sweet Potato Pie, an adaptation of a pumpkin pie recipe. He's serving it with a whipped topping he put together when our backs were turned, and this sweetened dish should serve as a good closure to the meal." Tasting. Tamahome: "And now the moment of truth, tasting and judgement. On the panel today are: Miaka's brother Keisuke Yuuki, old woman Taiitsu-kun, General Nakago, and Seiryuu no Miko Yui Hongo. First, the dishes of challenger Suboshi." Suboshi: "I wanted to do some deep frying, but make something original at the same time." Yui: "These potato balls have been coated in bread crumbs, but I also taste a hint of chili powder. That adds a nice touch." Nakago: "So you added these vegetables to make the overall dish less spicy?" Suboshi: "No, they're just for colour. You don't have to eat the celery, for instance." Taiitsu: "Good, I wasn't planning on it." Tamahome: "Now we'll see how the panel reacts to Suboshi's Very Veggie Spud." Keisuke: "I think you could have cooked this longer. The vegetables are also overpowering the taste of the potato." Hotohori: Exactly what vegetables did you use here? Suboshi: "I don't know, I just grabbed a bunch of them. Some were green. Basically, I was experimenting." Taiitsu: "I wouldn't count this as a successful experiment." Nakago: "It sucks." Yui: "Still, a good thought... it might have worked better had the theme ingredient been squash." Tamahome: "The challenger is about to personally cut and serve portions of his Potato Quiche." Keisuke: "Hmm... you know, this has a very feminine taste..." Suboshi: "Geez, will everyone get off my back about the damn quiche already?! There's nothing wrong men eating quiche!!" Keisuke: "I was about to say I like it." Nakago: "Yes, we're back on the right track with this dish." Yui: "In fact, I don't think I've ever tasted anything this good. Suboshi, you've outdone yourself." Suboshi: "Oh...! Yes, well, hahahaha... thank you..." Taiitsu: "It's too salty." Keisuke: "I think the challenger's dishes today really reflected his style, in that he jumped into them before considering how they would come across as a whole. However, on balance they were all very good, and it wouldn't surprise me to see such items being served in a high class restaurant." Tamahome: "Next up are the dishes of Iron Chef Tasuki, Shunu Kou." Tasuki: "I figured these perogies would fire up your tastebuds! They're hotter than the appetizer served by my opponent!" Keisuke: "The perogies are good, but I don't like the sauce." Nakago: "No, on the contrary, there is not enough sauce." Yui: "Oh, there's enough sauce, but too much potato." Taiitsu: "I can't even taste the potato." Tasuki: "Damn it! You people are impossible to please." Hotohori: I think this dish is perfect. Tasuki: "Yeah, but your vote doesn't count!" Tamahome: "The panel will now sample Tasuki's poutine dish." Nakago: "Ahhhh.... hrrmmmmm.... euhhhh.... hum." Hotohori: Nakago, I think this is the first time we've ever seen you losing your cool exterior. Nakago: "Well, I thought I'd hate this dish. I've always avoided poutine. But it's surprisingly good! I'm... I'm astounded!" Yui: "The different blend of cheeses would seem to be the key." Nakago: "Can we get seconds?" Taiitsu: "It's too salty." Tamahome: "At last, we come to the helpings of Sweet Potato Pie." Keisuke: "You know, this pie isn't all that sweet, but I don't think it needs to be. It's got good body, and the way the whipped topping melts inside my mouth... that's a really nice effect." Tasuki: "It does that? I mean, oh yeah, yeah, it does that!" Yui: "It certainly closes off the meal on a high note. In fact, in my opinion, the Iron Chef's dishes have been constantly improving." Nakago: "For me, this is a bit of a letdown after that great poutine." Taiitsu: "Needs more salt." Yui: "Looking at all of the Iron Chef's dishes, I'd say he's really shown us his true skill. After all, the food wasn't all hot, nor was it all sweet, but rather there was a nice combination of those two flavours. Deciding between him and the challenger will be quite difficult for me to do." Tamahome: "So, a difficult decision at hand! Which potato dishes will be eyed in the winner's circle? You'll find out the answer just below!" Judgement. Hotohori: Both of today's competitors gave it their all. We saw some very interesting approaches as they tackled my theme ingredient, and the results were most satisfactory. It is now time to discover whether the challenger's effort was enough to warrant receiving my picture, one that actually depicts me in this lovely and exquisite outfit. Here's the verdict. Tamahome: "All right then, it's come down to these final few seconds. The Nakago faction, in their eagerness to take down the Iron Chefs, sent Suboshi up against Tasuki! Was their challenger able to eke out the win? And with Nakago serving on the judging panel, will the result even be a fair one? We've got to know, who takes it!? Who's cuisine reigns supreme???" Hotohori: Iron Chef Tasuki! Tamahome: "It's the Iron Chef! Tasuki wins after all, drawing first blood in this competition against the Seiryuu Seishi!! And there he is, grinning a toothy grin and waving his fan out at his fans, whilst challenger Suboshi can only glare in annoyance. Pulling up the scores now, we can see it was Keisuke 20-18 the Iron Chef, Taiitsu-kun 13-12 the Iron Chef, Nakago 18-17 the Iron Chef and Yui 19-18 the Iron Chef... how about that, a sweep for Iron Chef Tasuki! Unbelievable! Truly we have witnessed a most historic battle here today in the Kolliseum!!!" Yui: "Well, I gave the extra point to the Iron Chef because of the order in which he presented his dishes. It really resounded with me on an intellectual level. But Suboshi, your dishes were fantastic and I'm looking forward to having more of them back in Kutou." Nakago: "I only picked the Iron Chef because of the poutine. Don't get complacent, this result has already been factored into my plans! We shall not rest until all the Iron Chefs have been taken down! Now get out of my face, I have no further use for you."
