The poll question:
I have a copy of the Best 50 episode, but the quality is quite poor. Should we include it in our ICC list and make it available?
Question:
What the Devil is this "Best 50" episode?

The copy I have is in Japanese, so there is a lot of information and explanation I don't have. Here is what I can tell you: --The "story" that seems to be presented in the introduction is the Kaga is sick. He must stop eating so much for a little while. Since he can't eat the food from Kitchen Stadium, he decides to reminisce about the best battles that have happened there so far. --I don't know exactly when it aired, but it was after Kobe's debut but before Morimoto came in. --They show the Iron Chefs at the tasting table sorting what look like postcards, so perhaps it was something the fans voted on. --They count down, in groups of ten, from 50-1. Between each set of 10, one of the Iron Chefs comes to the table with Fukui and his female co-host for some discussion. (This seems to be where the drunk Michiba portion comes from.) --Also between groups of ten, there is a segment with one of the past judges going out to a restaurant. --They show very, very short clips from each battle as they are counted down. They barely even show much from the #1 battle, so that was a little bit disappointing. I had never heard of this Best 50 episode until I got it. The only mention of it I have found is this page: homepage1.nifty.com/tetsujin/best50.html that lists the episodes in the countdown.

That sounds like fun! I'd like to see that, even if it is in poor quality.
