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 yelling "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 Masaharu Morimoto, Iron Chef French is Hiroyuki Sakai, Iron Chef Chinese is Chen Kenichi, and Iron Chef Italian is Masahiko Kobe.
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, professional wrestler Jimmy James has come to Kitchen Stadium several times in recent months to judge several of my Iron Chefs' battles. In each of his visits to the tasting panel, James has compared the exquisite delicacies prepared by our chefs to his own mother's cooking, which he claims to be "the best there is." These are indeed bold words in Kitchen Stadium. I recently learned that Mrs. James herself owns her own restaurant, "Another Fine Kettle," in which all of the cooking occurs in large copper kettles behind the counter. If Jimmy claims that his mother's cooking is better than the dishes made by my Iron Chefs, then I wish to have her in my Kitchen Stadium to prove her son's bold statements. Luckily, Mrs. James accepted my invitation.
Allow me to introduce today's challenger: The mother of Jimmy James, who wishes simply to be known as "Mama James." Mama James has even requested that I allow her son to be one of her sous chefs. Who am I to refuse a mother the aid of her son?
So now, Mama James! Enter my Kitchen Stadium and work your culinary magic to defeat one of my Iron Chefs!
Mama James: I want to show all of the Japanese chefs that have been feeding my baby boy what real food is supposed to taste like. I know I can win!
*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*
*Kaga enters Kitchen Stadium*
Kaga: Today, the mother of one of our most memorable judges is stepping into Kitchen Stadium to do battle. Hailing from her own restaurant, "Another Fine Kettle," she is even bringing in her son as a sous chef during battle. So now, let's bring her on! The mother of professional wrestler Jimmy James, today's challenger: Mama James!
*Mama James enters Kitchen Stadium and strides confidently up to Chairman Kaga followed by her son, Jimmy.
Kaga: It's a pleasure to finally meet you. *bows* Tell me, Mama James, why have you agreed to come to Kitchen Stadium, and what makes you think you can beat one of my Iron Chefs?
