Iron Chef Tournament

(Note: this is something I made up and it might not happen in 2023 or in the future, but I’m just putting this here just in case.)

The Iron Chef Tournament is a special series where all the Iron Chefs across all versions (except Iron Chef USA) battle it out for the Iron Chef trophy by recreating dishes made in the show’s history or creating new dishes and it takes place in Japan to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Iron Chef Japan.
