Hiroyuki Sakai treats the Observatory Hotel

Hiroyuki Sakai treats the Observatory Hotel


Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai

Anyone who knows me knows that if I get a chance to work Iron Chef into anything it makes my day...And yes, today my day has been made.

Last night Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai treated guests at the Observatory Hotel to an amazing 7 course meal that was kept top secret until the last minute. The menu focused on Australian produce and featured Hiroyuki Sakai's signature dish prawn with escallop mousse. Sakai will prepare two more dinners this week at a ticket price of $495 a head.

I'm a pretty picky eater, but I think I may even throw down the money and my taste buds to try something prepared by an Iron Chef, especially Hiroyuki Sakai the Iron Chef of Iron Chefs.

If you've never heard of Iron Chef I suggest you check it out. It was an amazing Japanese cooking show battle that took place in Kitchen Stadium and pitted world class 'challenger' chefs again Iron Chefs. They are given a secret main ingredient and 1 hour to create as many original dishes as possible. They are then judged by a panel of celebrities and/or food critics.

You can also catch an American Version of Iron Chef that airs on the Food Network, but it is pretty watered down compared to how extreme the Japanese version was. Maybe the English voiceovers did it for me.
