Person Of The Year

Takeshi Kaga


My choice of Person of the Year is none other than Takeshi Kaga, host of "The Iron Chef" on the food network. Kaga best exemplifies this by having a dream, to bring the greatest chefs from around the world into kitchen stadium, to do battle against his own appointed Iron Chefs.

In order to help keep the playing field level, the theme ingrediant, which must be used in all dishes to be judged is not unveiled until the last second. The theme ingrediant can be a variety of things: chicken, leeks, duck, octopus, lobster, pike eel (live), stingray....

Kaga has been things other than a commentator and mastermind behind such great things as a show that makes trout ice cream and appetizers with stingray air bladders. He was the first Japanese Jesus Christ superstar in 1976. He was also Tony in A West Side Story. He also starred in Macbeth, Les Miserables, and Jekyll and Hyde.

Besides all that, he deserves to be The official Yummy Brain Gravy Person of the Year due to that amazing wardrobe of his. To you Mr. Kaga, I am greatful. You make the world a better place, which is what the person of the year should be about.
