Berkley Publishing Group And he wasn't even Japanese. He was Filipino actor Mark Dacascos , who dominated the Iron Chef theatre in North America, as a dramatic, sensual, and invigorating host. For a man whose whole job is to pull a blanket off mostly vegetables, he's managed to make it a pretty sexy gig.  Mixed Asian Media The myth of the American show is that it's a relative of the Japanese OG. The chairman announces the start of each battle with: "So now America, with an open heart and empty stomach, I say unto you in the words of my uncle : 'Allez cuisine!'" And allez they do, although really the money shot has been spent, Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. The Big Reveal is key, and frankly, all the rest is fallout. But occasionally there's an upset worth hanging on for.  Instead of fortune t...
