Iron Chef America has nothing on the original. Although I really do prefer Batali to Kobe.
5 stars because I imagine the good Chairman starts every day off with a nice, crisp pepper and an army of prep cooks ready to tear shit up and his very beck and call.
Takeshi Kaga also portrayed the title role in a Japanese production of Jesus Christ Superstar, in case there was any doubt that he is in fact the second coming.
