===Story=== The [[kayfabe]] "story" behind ''Iron Chef'' is recounted at the beginning of every episode of the English dub. A title card, with a quote from famed French food author [[Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin]] first appeared: "Tell me what you eat, and I'll tell you what you are." Then, it was said that Kaga "realized his dream in a form never seen before" and specially constructed a cooking arena called "Kitchen Stadium". There, visiting chefs from "around the world" would compete against his Gourmet Academy, led by his three (later four) Iron Chefs. Chairman Kaga himself was a showpiece, dressed in outlandish examples of men's formal attire. The English name ''Iron Chef'' comes from the show itself: Kaga would use this translation of the Japanese title when summoning his chefs at the beginning of the "battle".<ref>{{Cite book |title=Iron Chef:The Official Book |last=Hoketsu |first=Kaoru |author2=Fuji Television |year=2000 |publisher=The Berkley Publishing Group |location=New York, NY |isbn=0-425-18088-3 |page=[https://archive.org/details/ironchefofficial00hoke/page/4 4] |url=https://archive.org/details/ironchefofficial00hoke/page/4 |access-date=February 11, 2009 |url-access=registration |edition=Tibetan }}</ref>
