This hour-long cooking showdown has been variously described as "Julia Child meets 'Dark Shadows' crossed with 'World Wrestling Federation,'" or a culinary "American Gladiators." Each week, two battling chefs are served up on a bed of melodrama with a side of frenzy.
The emcee, Takeshi Kaga, otherwise known in Japan for his theatrical performances as Tony in "West Side Story," Jesus in "Jesus Christ Superstar," and Jean Valjean in "Les Miserables," grandly announces each battle in flamboyant, overly dramatic costumes adorned liberally
There are two commentators, who discuss the chefs' technique, choice of ingredients, and other gastronomic subtleties with a style reminiscent of American sports commentators, as well as many cameramen who run around behind the chefs, ready for a seaweed-broth close-up or an instant replay of an especially skillful fish-gutting.

 3BlackChicks Review™... IRON CHEF - TV (Bams)
What makes Iron Chef work, contrary to the beliefs of critics who Just Don't Get It, is that it is simultaneously completely sincere in its approach to the strange (to gaijin like me) variety of very expensive food stuffs it serves up, and at the same time, fully aware of the humor of its grandiosity.
You hear it in Takeshi Kaga's punny lines (much of the impact of which is missed in the translation), and in the pitch of the competitions themselves - most notably the series of rasslin'-like battles between the marvelously hammy Toshiro Kandagawa and the Otha Faction, and Kaga's Boys.
And along the way, maybe even learn a little something we didn't know before, from chefs who may look like they've taken a page from the WWF, but are the real deal.
