If memory serves me correctly, I fortunately missed this dreck when it originally aired on UPN. Sadly, this weekend (July 19-20, 2003), the Food Network aired it in place of the real Iron Chef. Out of morbid curiosity, I subjected myself to the horror, known as Iron Chef USA.

Honestly, I really can’t put my finger on why it turned out so bad. It’s like they copied the formula for the real Iron Chef, but still managed to get it all wrong.
