Which group of Iron Chefs from the American versions would you rather see on TV again? Please choose as this is only for fun and not for a magazine.

I picked the ICUSA group. We didn't see enough of them...

The ICA chefs are a very fine group. I choose them.

Whew, that's a lot of chefs. I like ICA chefs. The only names I recognize are Shatner and English. Thanks, Misstee.

ICUSA has a nice group, but I voted for the ICA group.
I've eaten at Kerry Simon's place in Vegas, very very good, he beat Cat Cora in Battle Hamburger.
Roy Yamaguchi is, I believe, the name behind the successful upscale chain "Roy's"
Todd English is also a successful restauranteur with a national reputation.

It's been such a long time since I've seen the chefs from ICUSA. I can't even remember much about their technique or style. And though I loved William Shatner on Star Trek, I couldn't stand him on ICUSA. So, all in all, I wouldn't mind seeing those chefs again. But at the same time I'll take the chefs of ICA anytime.

I have not seen ICUSA myself. I heard it wasn't that great.

I saw it once and was turned off by Shatner. He is not good as a comedian.

Shatner was such a ham on the show and made it seem as if the show as all about him. The transitions weren't good between segments, making it seem very choppy. And Shatner went around the cooking arena sampling things. Though Kaga was quite dramatic, he made the Iron Chefs the main focus of the show.

Todd English is also a successful restauranteur with a national reputation. The only restaurant I know I've seen of his is the one in the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut. (I live in Connecticut and frequent the casinos (not all the time, though), so I know about that one.) Oh, and in case you'd like to know which one I voted for: I chose the ICA group.

I enjoy ICA more. The noise annoyed me. I liked Shatner though. He made me laugh.
