"which dish" news and stories

Today's Washington Post features a pretty interesting piece about food-related television shows in Japan. Apparently food television takes up 35-40 percent of all domestic programming there. Of course, Iron Chef is usually the first thing that springs to most of our minds. But, according to the WaPo piece, the grandeur and zeal that many of us associate with Iron Chef is commonplace on many food-related shows. Apparently gratuitous food shots (food porn, if you will) are just as popular over there as they are here, perhaps more so. On the show Which Dish?, one commentator responded to a shot of sizzling salmon fat with "I have never seen such a beautiful thing before," says the Post. The hosts of that show are pictured here.
