Fukui: Nearly a decade ago, a man's fantasy became reality in a form never seen before: Kitchen Stadium, a giant cooking arena. The motivation for spending his fortune to create Kitchen Stadium was to encounter new, original cuisines that could be called true, artistic creations.
*cut to Kaga exclaiming "Allez Cuisine"*
To realize his dream, he secretly started choosing the top chefs of various styles of cooking. And he named his chefs the Iron Chefs: The invincible chefs of culinary skills. Iron Chef Japanese is Rokusaburo Michiba, Iron Chef French is Hiroyuki Sakai, and Iron Chef Chinese is Chen Kenichi.
Kitchen Stadium is the arena where Iron Chefs await the challenges from master chefs from around the world. Both the Iron Chef and challenger have one hour to tackle the theme ingredient of the day. Using all their senses, skill, and creativity, they are to prepare artistic dishes never tasted before. Every battle, reputations are on the line in Kitchen Stadium, 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!
Kaga: If memory serves me right, there is a restaurant in France that is rapidly gaining in popularity called "Le Chez Petite." The owner and head chef of "Le Chez Petite" has created a menu that combines home-style cooking with haute cuisine. This young chef, who has already made a name for himself in culinary circles, will prove to be a great opponent against my Iron Chefs!
Allow me to introduce today's challenger- head chef and owner of "Le Chez Petite," Robert Smith. Smith grew up in Philadelphia in the United States of America. He went to the Culinary Institute of America to train and hone his skills, and after graduation he toured the world, staying in people's homes to learn about cultural styles and culinary preferences. After completing his tour of the world, Robert settled down in France and opened Le Chez Petite, which has received top reviews from critics worldwide.
So now, Robert Smith, come and face the fires of Kitchen Stadium and try to topple my Iron Chefs!
Robert Smith: I'm scared out of my wits because I'm nowhere near as classically trained as the Iron Chefs are. I've dragged out all the textbooks I could find about the Iron Chefs' styles so I would be better prepared. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to pull it off.
*Kaga steps into Kitchen Stadium. The camera pans around a large column, showing Kaga stepping up to center stage. The Chairman looks around at the many features and ingredients in Kitchen Stadium, and his eyes land on a yellow bell pepper in front of him. He picks it up, and takes a bite. Suddenly, a large smile spreads across his face, as the camera pulls back, revealing the once-empty Kitchen Stadium now full of Gourmet Academy chefs. Flames burst onto the screen, and in both Japanese and English characters appears the words: Iron Chef. The camera pans once more around Kitchen Stadium, and the day’s events are now ready to begin*
Fukui: Welcome to Kitchen Stadium! Today, an American chef trained in French cuisine has come to battle it out with one of our Iron Chefs. Joining us for this battle is model Riyo Mori and, as usual, Doc Hattori. It's great to have you both here. We'll have to chat later because it looks like Chairman Kaga has already arrived! *applauds*
*Chairman Kaga enters Kitchen Stadium*
Kaga: Today, an American chef trained in French cuisine is here to face one of my Iron Chefs. The challenger has traveled the world, but it is now time to see if he can emerge victorious from battle in Kitchen Stadium. So now, let's bring him on- today's challenger, Robert Smith!
