Watching Iron Chef American, they don't let you see the knives that they are using very well, prolly cause they aren't sponsors, butt I'm seeing the challenger using a Glestain sugi for doing mirepoix.
Trying to guess the tools used makes the show more entertaining, I think!
I've annoyed my girlfriend on more than one occasion by pausing or rewinding the program to investigate their knife choices...
A lot of Nenox on that show!
I've noticed the same thing. Every now and then I'll recognize a knife but you have to be quick. They usually don't show the knives for very long.
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Guilty. I was pretty excited to see some Glestains.Originally Posted by Vertigo
I know Michael Symon uses the red handles nenox's, and a lot of challengers seem to use Suisin INOX's. I've also seen a few misonos, and a couple of those Masanobu gyutos. I've never hit pause and/or rewind *shifty eyes*
I pause all the time on Top Chef and Iron Chef. "Ooh Togiharu hammered damascus!" lol
oh thank god!!!
i thought i was the only one to shout at the tv during iron chef when recognizing a knife they used. i have also been guilty of receiving some hefty sighs from my wife when i have to rewind and pause to give her a brief description of what that chef was using and why it is great, good, or garbage
For some reason, and I really can't say why, other people aren't nearly as interested in my commentary as they are in Alton's.
I'll bet they don't pay you as much, either.For some reason, and I really can't say why, other people aren't nearly as interested in my commentary as they are in Alton's.
Alton's is the product of a lot of homework, if not some scripting as well. It's tough to compete with that.
