Anyone who watched the original 1993 Iron Chef reality show starring Masaharu Morimoto knows what’s up. Contestants go head-to-head with expert chefs. Importantly, they’re given a secret ingredient and tasked with making an amazing meal. That secret ingredient can be anything, like for instance, a tank of live eels.

Like all Iron Chef series, there is no grand prize for winning other than the honor and satisfaction of outdoing some of the world’s best chefs. In Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend, the prize is the title of “Iron Legend,” as well as a golden chef’s knife. The show is interesting because the master chefs competing against the contestants also take the challenge seriously.
