I was looking back through old Iron Chef (Japan) episodes on youtube, and this one stood out because you see an Iron Chef get his butt kicked by getting swept. He has one of the best win percentages too among the Iron Chefs.
This episode is also special because it's the only one which features one of the few Chinese "state recognized chefs" (kind of like culinary national artists) and is the only where a female chef beat an Iron Chef.
And as they kept repeating in the video, she cooked for Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai.

Watching the technical mastery of the Chinese chef is awesome.
