Raise your hand if you\'re an IC fan. Let\'s see how many have been sucked in. For those of you who aren\'t, you haven\'t experienced TV until you\'ve seen a Chinese chef try to work with Foie Gras and Yogurt, Live Giant Lobsters being chopped in half, imagining what Fish Roe Ice Cream tastes like, and just how popular Yellow Bell Peppers are, since the show became a hit.
On an interesting note, Lobsters seem to be the nemesis of the Iron Chefs. I can think of at least 5 battles where lobster was the theme and the Iron Chefs have lost 4 of those battles.
