Premise: This surprise hit from Japan has chefs challenging each other to cook a four-star meal from one main ingredient that's revealed at the beginning of each episode. The chefs have a one-hour time limit, followed by a panel of judges who sample the dishes and determine a winner. Running commentary throughout the cook-off is provided, sportscaster-style, in Japanese with English subtitles.
