    I remember watching Iron Chef as like, a 15 year old...and thinking man, that Morimoto. He is different than the others. His aura, his being, his personality.... awesome guy. VERY glad to see that over a decade later dude is successful as hell.
    Also...great work Vice. I would LOVE to see an entire series based around Morimoto.

      +Chairman Meow Same here, man. Every time a guest chef called out Morimoto I always thought, "This guy is trying to beat the game on hard mode without any cheat codes". Amazing person and I'm glad to see he's still an active chef.

    The short story about the customer asking for ketchup, really opened my eyes to how much more one can learn. Even as a chef with years of experience under his belt, morimoto never once kept a closed mind. This is why people think of him as the forerunner for modern Japanese cuisine.
    Mad respect for the guy.

      Jared Allen He was always hip compared to the other Iron Chefs; more appealing to Americans. I think they realized how much the show was gaining popularity here, and they needed someone we could relate to. I remember one episode he put Coca-Cola in a traditional Japanese dish, and the old school chefs got so offended.

      +Kevin Li he seems to act in a clownish way in an attempt to keep himself away from his father's behavior who he described as a violent drunk. He abstains from alcohol and actively tries to dissolve conflict through humor. It was just an initial observation and I could be completely wrong it was just how he came off to me.

    • @chody5840
      @chody5840 8 років тому +6

      +Crefftwr It also might have a lot to do with modern Japanese culture. Cute or clownish behavior in Japanese culture influenced their whole generation the same way that slapstick comedy influenced our parents' generation. It's even evolved with their current culture, giving rise to things we would perceive as weird (coffee houses with in-house cats for petting, where Japanese businessmen come to relax after a day's work), the same way that the 3 Stooges evolved from Moe pushing a pie into Curly's face to the Jackass movies of our generation, where we watch Steve-o stick a fishing hook through his ass to go shark fishing.

    I was at Morimoto's restaurant in Orlando a few years ago with my wife and kids, and the Chef himself was there for the soft opening. I expected him to smile and shake hands the whole time, but instead he spent 99% of the day behind the sushi bar, creating delights for his customers. The best sushi I've ever had, hands down. I guess we all need to take a trip to Jiro's spot in Japan to make a comparison.

He has a ton of energy, and is genuinely kind.

My heart damn near melted when Chef Morimoto mentioned "Domestic Violence" because you could not only hear the heartbreak and pain in his voice, but clearly you could see the pain from his past on his face. Thank you Chef for sharing such an intimate part of your life with us and Thank you for creating such amazing dishes for all those who are able to enjoy them.

    I have always admired the dedication the Japanese have towards their craft. Total devotion or none at all. This is how all of us should live. I work for a Japanese company in Georgia. They are very keen on exceeding expectations and surpassing what is asked of them.
