Judy Wong - I love olives but I usually eat them as an "accessory" food, you know, like in martinis, salads, that sort of way. I'm really excited about trying a dish where the olives are the main taste, so to speak.

-----POST----- Sorry about not posting right away. I'll probably be on every other day, if this is all right with you.
And sidenote: Sorry for being a schmuck, but this will be like a story on my end. I'll bold the important stuff. -----END-----
Finding out he's just wasted a good few minutes, Kobe rushes up to the theme ingredient stand and collects the types of olives he needs for his dishes. After setting a tray of olives down on the counter, he screams to his assistants.
"Remember, I'm making two dishes," he said, beginning to crack a pound of green olives from the tray. "The green olives will be a part of both dishes."
Again, he called out to an assistant. "Prepare the pasta. You got the message I'm making penne?"

Fukui: And Kobe-san rockets out to the ingredient stand to make up for lost time! Looks like we've got a clue on his pasta dish for this battle, but... only two dishes total? Intentionally? Doc, do you think that's a wise move? They'd both have to be perfect to score a win!
----------Post------------- That's alright, ICM! We don't mind you posting every other day, as long as those posts of chuck full of action! You might want to give Mickster your email address so Ohta can ask you questions during the battle. As for the story-style, I like it. Whatever gets the job done. ---------- End-------------

*to himself* I finally got the poppers ready for frying. They shouldn't take long, so I'll get busy on something else.
*to assistant 1* How is the pasta coming out?
Assistant 1: Good, boss. *I inspect the pasta as it makes another go round in the machine*
Stop right there. Remember that we have intergrated flavors into the pasta, and pressing them futher will only damage the flavor, and that is what we don't want. I'll get started on filling the ravolli, and you get the calzones out, brush them with some of the oil that the sun dried tomatoes was preserved in, and get them into the oven now.
*to assistant 2* Get everything ready for my house salad. I need the romane lettuce, spinach, small cherry tomatoes, bacon and sliced black olives. When you are done with that, start frying the poppers, and when they are done cooking, coat them with salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, onion and garlic powder. That shouldn't take long, so when you are done with that, come see me.
*to both assistants* I'll get started with the sun dried tomato sauce for the calzones, and the house salad. We are in the home stretch people, let's bring our dishes home.

Ota - Squeezee-san, I'm here with IC Kobe. He seems to be distracted by something but is definitely moving at the speed of light here, getting his ingredients gathered and organized for preparing his dishes. His assistants are acting on his orders as if they are robots. They certainly know what he wants and expects of them, so I don't think Kobe-san will have any problem catching up. Thing is, he said he is making only two dishes. What's that about? Good luck Kobe-san!

Judy Wong - Wow, that is sad news. IC Kobe is going to make only two dishes. I was really looking forward to his presentation. I've eaten at his restaurant "Massa", and it was a wonderful experience. Well, whatever, I'm sure he will make something awesome tonight.

Doc, do you think that's a wise move? They'd both have to be perfect to score a win! Hattori: I definately think it could hurt him. Anything in the 3 or less catagory doesn't tend to do as well. Useing only one type of olives could also be detrimental. Chef Kobe may wish to rethink that if he has the time. The challenger on the other hand appears to be taking full advantage of the variety of ingredients availible. He is even using the oil that the sundried tomatoes were packed in. I'm especially looking forward to what his tortellini looks like after cooking with the green of the olives and the red of the roasted pepper embeded in the pasta itself.

*to assistant 1* Got those in the oven? Good. I need you to start helping me preparing the sauces. You start with the cheese sauce for the poppers.
*to assistant 2* Is the poppers ready?
Assistant 2: yes.
Good. I need you to get two salad dressing serving bottles, and start making the vinigarettes for the salad. Remember, use truffle oil for one of the bottles, and use basil oil for the other. When you pour them into the bottles, use seperate funnels. We don't want to contaimate the flavor. I'll get our pasta dish out and plated.

Ota - Cu-san, I'm here with Challenger Sanji. He is certainly a thorough chef, keeping in mind how the slightest mistake could damage the intent of his dishes. I'm enjoying watching him prepare everything. But I must say if he ever decides to give up writing books or being a chef, he probably would have an excellent career in the military.

Kateyama: Wow, seem like they're reporting for duty over there, the assistants.

Hattori: Katayama-san, you have expressed more then once your feelings about the excessive use of oils. Now you are in a battle where oil is one of the main ingredients. How do you feel about olive oil and the way it is being used by the Chefs? Post-------------------------------------- Good. I need you to get two salad dressing serving bottles, and start making the vinigarettes for the salad. Remember, use truffle oil for one of the bottles, and use basil oil for the other. When you pour them into the bottles, use seperate funnels. We don't want to contaimate the flavor. I'll get our pasta dish out and plated. That's it... I want a crack at Sanji Himura. Would anybody mind if I called dibbs on a rematch whatever the outcome? Endpost----------------------------------

15 MINUTE HAVE ELAPSED!
Fukui: One quarter of the battle is out the window! Looks like both chefs have made some progress. Challenger Himura is really running his side of Kitchen Stadium like clockwork!
Post ----------------- Heh heh, I saw that coming Arrianna. If it's fine with everyone else, it's fine with me. ----------------- End

*hears the 15 min. mark* *to both assistants* Okay, guys, it seems that we have more time than I thought, but that doesn't mean that I'm letting you off the hook. As soon as the calzones are done, all we are going to use the oven for is to keep the poppers and the calzones warm. I didn't think I had enough time for something cold, but now I do have some time, so one of you turn the ice cream machine back on. Also, put the salad stuff in the fridge, I don't want that going to waste. Also hold off on the vinirgrettes. If we make them now, it will break at the serving table. Other than that, we stick to our gameplan. From what I hear from Ota, Kobe is really off his game today, and so if we want to win, everything must be perfect in both our dishes and how we handle ourselves in the kitchen. One more thing, I also want one of you to start cleaning up this mess. This is entirely unprofessional and it annoys me. Let's do it.
---post---- I have no objections, as long as it is a special battle like Himura v. Hattori. Now that I'll pay to see. ----end---

Judy Wong - Wow a battle between Himura-san and doctor Hattori. That's like opposite ends of the pole. But I'm concerned with IC Kobe's dishes. He was not too specific as to what he is preparing. I hope Ota-san will be able to get some information out of him.

Ota - Sqwizz-san, I'm in a deep conversation with Kobe-san at the moment and should have some information for you. IC Kobe is a bit secretive just yet but I'm sure he will open up soon.
