* In the eggnog/ice carving battle of ''Iron Chef America'', Morimoto had a ''smoker'' made of ''ice.''
** He then proceeds to bring it out ''again'' later in another episode.
* In Battle Cauliflower of ''Iron Chef America'', the challenger actually challenged Iron Chef Symon ''without'' sous chefs. Once the Iron Chef realized this, he ''kicked his own sous chefs out of the kitchen''. They went 60 minutes and made 5 dishes on their own.
** And then Iron Chef Symon goes SerialEscalation and finishes early enough to have champagne with the judges. And yes, he did win that one.
** OlderThanTheyThink: Sakai did the same thing when Masanobu Watabe challenged him without sous chefs (though that's partially subverted as Watabe is such a demanding {{Jerkass}} that no one would work for him. Still a CMOA for Sakai, though).
*** Sakai started with sous chefs, and only kicked them out after commentary kept making reference to it. Watabe even said Sakai didn't have to do it, and afterward Sakai said he didn't want to do it again.
** He then proceeds to bring it out ''again'' later in another episode.

Kaga considered it an emotional battle between two masters, and Chen marked it as his best battle because his mother shown up, making it both a true emotional family AND a master/student affair.

** In his second battle against the Ohta Faction, the ingredient is purely Japanese: natto. So what does Morimoto do? [[YoureInsane Dumps two cans worth of Coca-Cola into a hot saucepan full of natto along with some extra sugar, of course!]] Literally everyone is freaking out about this but [[TheUnfettered Morimoto is cool as a cucumber]], explaining that the carbonation of the cola softens the beans and the pungent aroma with the extra sugar working with the natural stickiness to make it more like caramel.
