At the beginning of play, choose a “Chairman.” It doesn't matter how you do it, but the Chairman’s role is a very important one. He decides when the subjective drinks are warranted, and also has the power to “make up” a drink: should the Chariman feel that something deserves a drink (like if something incredibly stupid happens), he can direct everyone to drink for it.

I have to say I've come to respect Flay somewhat because he's accepted his position as kind of being the whipping boy for Food Network. They trot him out all over the country to compete against random chefs making whatever the hell regional dish they're best at and lose, and you know he's got to be sick of it but he manages not to be an ass about it. Batali's freakin' awesome, though, crocs and all. (I used to do post-production on Iron Chef America; Morimoto is fantastic and Alton Brown is a golden food-nerd god.)
Still, though, the American show doesn't compare to the original Kaga and that little evil astrologer woman. Good lord, she could torture a chef with a single pronouncement. I remember her telling Morimoto "you have offended our taste buds" in Battle Asparagus and the poor guy looked like he wanted to die.
Yeh I had forgotten about alton brown. I used to love watching good eats, he explained how to cook in a format my brain could understand. Wish food network would go back to how it was 4 years ago. Emril, good eats, iron chef, and of course Mrs the answer to everything is more butter..
That dude...
...gets pretty intense over some ordinary things. :)
And this....
Is the guy that killed the Governor of Hawaii and then framed McGarrett?
60 seconds in, I was laughing
60 seconds in, I was laughing like an idiot. What the hell is this?
Iron Chef: America
Iron Chef: America
Chairman Kaga Rules
Even though I do like Iron Chef: America's Chairman, he still can't beat Chairman Kaga (from the original Iron Chef) :)
Much Better Look
The hair and the jackets, that's what does it. Just awesome.
Yeah this show had a lot more character
than the American one :)
There was also a drinking game that some fans of the Japanese one played, lol.

The one I liked better that I read
was talking 1 shot every time the Japanese woman (whom is a guest) laughs.
If you watched the show you would know it would be almost impossible not to walk away drunk (let alone comatose, heh) :)
I love...
...when he bites in to a pepper, and then looks in to the camera as if to say "I'm OUT OF MY FUCKING MIND!!!"
this is a great show. Batoli
this is a great show. Batoli is my fav and bobby flay is an ass sucker
Heh.
