ironcheffans.info/wordpress/?p=338We have posted the first half of the 1997 Iron Chef World Cup. (We will be posting the second half tomorrow.) This includes the two semi-final battles. This episode did not air on Food Network. It is as it aired in Japan with all commercials and breaks included. It is in Japanese with no subtitles. (Anyone who sees an obvious mistake in what I think was being talked about, please correct me.) There are a couple of things that I found interesting. --Patrick Clark, who was in one of the semi-final battles, passed away only 4 months after this special aired in Japan. --There was only 8 minutes of a 2:33:00 show devoted to the Passard vs. Clark battle. While a disappointment to the US fans, I understand that the Japanese fans likely wanted to see Nakamura's battles in their entirety. --It had to have been a miserable day of outdoor filming for the crew. It was rainy and windy. I may have misunderstood, but I think they said the final battle started at 1:00 AM.

Wow! This is a major addition to the ICC library. I can't wait to see this.
