three worst dishes from the history of the show. Five best dishes Prawns in Chili Sauce, Canapé Style (Iron Chef Chen Kenichi) Foie Gras and Flatfish with Citrus Sauce (Iron Chef Rokusaburo Michiba) Foie Gras and Scallops in Cabbage (Challenger Hiromi Yamada) Sea Eel Royale with Truffle Sauce (Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai) Scallop Salad with Vinaigrette Sauce (Challenger Maurice Guillouet) Three worst dishes Smoked Asparagus Stick Salad (Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto), the asparagus was so strongly smoked that all judges commented negatively.
